Hundreds More Watched President Obama Take Office From Akron Civic Theatre

Several hundred families and friends took the day off work or school to watch Barack Obama take the oath of office as America's 44th president.

Anthony and Jennifer Perella of Stow watched the inauguration on the large screen at the Akron Civic Theatre. Jennifer says they've been watching Obama since 2004. She thinks Obama's candidacy and his speech will make us a better country, and will improve our image in the world.

Kymberli Hagelberg, 90.3.
