Baltimore Ready for Obama Visit

Reported by: Cheryl Conner

Contributor: Dave McHugh
Last Update: 1/17 2:49 pm
President-Elect Barack Obama's Whistle Stop Train Trip from Philadelphia to Washington, D.C. will bring the next President of the United State to Baltimore. Already, roads are being closed, security is getting tighter in many areas, and people are starting to arrive for their chance to see and hear Obama speak at the War Memorial Plaza in Downtown Baltimore.

Where are those roads closed and what should you expect for security and weather? ABC2 News Cheryl Conner has more information in the video-story she filed this morning, which you can see in the video player on the right had side of this page.

Also, don't forget you can see Obama's visit to Baltimore LIVE on ABC2 and streaming on abc2news.com. Our complete coverage will start at 3PM with live reports from War Memorial Plaza where Obama will speak, the Inner Harbor where people are gathering to watch the speech, and in Edgewood where Obama's train will be slowing down for people to see the President-Elect.

For those basketball fans expecting to see the ACC battle between #2 Wake Forest and #10 Clemson our coverage is preempting the game. However, you can see the game live on Comcast cable channel 204 and on WMAR DT 2.3.
