I walked around today and couldn’t help but think to myself that we are living in a different world. There was impromptu music, dancing, and marching in my city’s streets last night and I could feel a tangible difference in the popular sentiment today.

For today at least, it seemed that people were more polite on the road and strangers more friendly with one another. It does indeed seem like some degree of hope has come back to the people of my town.

Everyone I’ve talked to seems to agree that with Mr. Obama’s election our country has taken one giant step in the right direction. These are truly historic times and it’s really something to be a part of.
