« From Howard County to Baltimore for Obama | Main | A grand day for Baltimore »

January 17, 2009

No crowds yet downtown

Midtown Baltimore is almost empty. A few bundled up people walking down Calvert, St. Paul & Guildford toward City Hall. The Sun's garage at Centre & Calvert is starting to fill up with Obama sightseers on the first level, but there are hundreds of spaces left. Many out-of-town license plates. Arkansas. Florida etc. All in all there is less activity down here than I would have expected. Now we're about to go stand in line at Guildford & Baltimore sts. to get in. No Blackberry, so no liveblogging.
