I went to Google Images. I came up with lots of pictures. It seems to me that people should be better dressed, considering the location of the stands. I don't mean that as an admonishment; I say that based on pictures from previous inaugurations.

Anyway, the pictures are revealing. Here are some links:

No One Came to Donald Trump’s Little Parade

There were a lot of empty seats in the stands along Trump's parade route

William Cummings, USA TODAY Published 6:26 p.m. ET Jan. 20, 2017 | Updated 8:30 p.m. ET Jan. 20, 2017

I did not watch the parade on TV or listen to it on the radio. This thread is the first place I've seen pictures of the empty stands.

I am surprised, but I am wrong regardless.

I can just imagine how steamed Snowflake is. I'll get over it, but he won't.

Best wishes.

Thanks for the correction.
