See How Bay Area Celebrated New President
Thousands gathered around the Bay Area to watch and celebrate the historic inauguration of President Barack Obama.
In San Francisco, Civic Center Plaza was filled with thousands of Bay Area residents.
The orderly crowd included plenty of folding chairs, strollers and vendors hawking T-shirts and buttons.
Some attendees dressed for work, but other wore beads, flags and festive hats usually seen on New Year's Eve or Fourth of July.
Tony Imperial, director of NextArts, the cultural organization that sponsored the event, said this is the only outdoor simulcast in San Francisco, and estimated that up to 8,000 people showed up.
NextArts staffers battled with the screen, which suffered a few minor technical difficulties.
Like many attendees, Aurora Wood, 32, said she wishes she could be in Washington, D.C., "but this is the next best thing."

Thousands watch Obama at SF Civic Center
SAN FRANCISCO -- An orderly yet jubilant crowd filled San Francisco's Civic Center Plaza Tuesday morning to cheer for Barack Obama and watch on a large projection screen as he was sworn in as the 44th president of the U.S.
NextArts, the cultural organization that sponsored the free event, predicted crowds of up to 8,000. Tony Imperial, NextArts' director, had counted roughly 3,000 by 8 a.m. By the time Obama took the stage, staffers were too busy to conduct rough counts, but the crowd filled the plaza and spilled into the areas on either side.
"It doesn't get any better than this," Imperial said, watching the people packed tightly against the barrier in front of the screen.

(01-20) 15:24 PST SAN FRANCISCO -- They screamed with joy, pumped fists in the air, listened in rapt attention and wept happily as the new president promised a new era for America.
Whether it was in the gigantic Oracle Arena in Oakland or an auto body shop, a tony cafe or tree-lined Civic Center park in San Francisco, the atmosphere crackled with an ebullience normally reserved for Super Bowls or New Year's Eve bashes.
