Despite the economic meltdown, business is booming in secondhand resale stores.
November 2008 Archives
On November 4, 2008, the American people elected Sen. Barack Obama president.
It's history in the making... the first African-American president-elect of the United States.
Election Day took me throughout Los Angeles... first, back home to Cerritos to vote. Then to the local Starbucks for free coffee (courtesy of my 'I Voted' sticker), then Chick-fil-a for a free chicken sandwich. Isn't democracy great?
The following slideshow documents the occurrences at my polling place, Causecast's 'I Voted' Party at the Edison and the official Obama for America, Election Night Gala at the Hyatt Regency Century Plaza hosted by the California Democratic Party.
Over 14,000 people attended the gala. But despite the lines of people circling the block and others backed up in traffic, only a fraction were able to make it into the hotel to attend the party. Some lucky supporters who waited in line from 3 p.m. had no problem getting in.
Crowds of people spilled onto Avenue of the Stars and Constellation, trying to make their way into the party. Nonetheless, celebrations still took place on the streets as supporters checked their phones for updates from the exit polls... until the fire marshall arrived with the LAPD.
Barack Obama won, and his supporters had high hopes to be part of the celebration.
