Fountain Square Voting

Posted in Fountain Square on November 4th, 2008 by Ryan

There was actually a line.  For the first time I can remember at just about any polling place I’ve been to.  We got there about 5 minutes before the doors opened, and the line was about a block long.  It was still going strong when we left a half-hour later, too.  The surprise at actually seeing people at the polling place caused me to utter an expletive in front of a couple of old ladies.

Between voting and breakfast, we passed a giant dancing Obama head in the Fountain Square area.  Never have I seen an election that so inspired both huge voter turnout and random acts of paper mache.  Amazing.
