In the “Then and Now” feature in the May/June issue, you show photographs of Pennsylvania Avenue in 1904 and today. The caption under the “Today” photo states that “every inaugural parade since Jefferson’s has followed this route to the Capitol.” Every parade I have witnessed followed this route from the Capitol. The parade forms at the Capitol and marches down Pennsylvania Avenue and past the White House. The parade turns right at the corner shown in the photo to jog around the Treasury building on its way to the White House.
