Moving out
It’s moving day at the White House press room as journalists head out to the temporary quarters in which they will work during the remodeling process.
By mid-morning, the familiar blue chairs were gone from the briefing room. A temporary briefing room is being set up in the White House Conference Center that will be the press room while the remodeling goes on. It’s supposed to take about nine months.
Take a close look to the right of center in this photo and you will see a head peeking up out of the trap door that leads to where the White House swimming pool used to be. It’s now a tangle of cables under there.
The remodeling process will allow for more up-to-date wiring, as well as Internet access at each seat in the briefing room.
