Thousands of people are gathering in Washington to see Barack Obama become our next president. That includes Lafayette city councilman Steve Meyer and his nephew, Adam Meyer. They are just a few of the many people from our area witnessing history.This morning Steve updated us: "We woke up at 5:15 am to head to the inaugural. We were surprised to see the crowds at the metro. We got out of car to walk to metro station and only had about half hour wait for train. Hoping to reach capital by 7:30 but having train delays. Expect to stand in more lines at capitol. A man on the train said making history ain't easy!"
Live coverage of the inauguration begins at 10:00 Tuesday and will continue throughout the day. Our stories will include a local celebration at the Lafayette Theatre.
