In the Inauguration Zone

Needless to say, Washington is abuzz over the Inauguration. The evidence is all around, from the fences and risers under construction to Friday’s opening of the official Inaugural store. Your San Pedro News DC editor submitted a field report of the store opening to Curbed DC. “Ghosts Of Inaugurations Past Come Out For Grand Opening Of the Official Inauguration Store” has all the vivid details.

If you’re feeling the urge to shop, start here, then use promo code “2013” to save 15%. (Fine print: $10 minimum purchase. This code was released last Friday, Jan 11. We don’t know if it’s still valid.)

Washingtonians flock to political events the way Angelenos flip for movie premiers.

Harbor Area residents coming to DC for the Inauguration are invited to contact us at SanPedroNews[at]aol[dot]com and we’ll do our best to answer your questions about the city, restaurants, sightseeing, etc.
