Some great snapshots of Chicago on a historic day for the ages.
My favorites:
"Edgar Anderson, 67, missed the inauguration because he works the day shift at Freedman Seating, a factory in Chicago’s West Humboldt Park neighborhood."
A reminder that not everyone can take the day off to watch the inauguration.

Banquet manager Barbara Milton watches the inauguration with waitress Donna Webie and Pat Klouda at the American Legion in Elmhurst, IL.
So delightfully average and quintessentially American.
