Despite the media hype that suggests everyone will be riding Metro and trudging through Mall crowds in DC today, the reality is that most of us will be at work or at home.
But that doesn't mean you can't celebrate the event right here in Bethesda.
Not only is TV the "best seat in the house," but you can plan your own last-minute party for 1 or a dozen.
Giant Food is taking a non-partisan approach to celebrating the inauguration, and the birthday of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. Giant's theme is, "Celebrate America," emblazoned not only on its print ads, but on these Giant sheet cakes pictured below. They are also offering the black T-shirt below, featuring the inauguration date, the American flag, and "OBAMA" on the front.
At CVS on Wisconsin Avenue, at Cheltenham Drive, the drugstore is selling fancier Obama shirts and hoodies, which feature a portrait of the reelected president on the chest.
Whatever your political beliefs may be, Happy Inauguration Day, and a peaceful Dr. King Holiday, from Robert Dyer at Bethesda Row! I always find it an interesting day, whether the candidate I voted for has won or lost.
