In 2009, shortly after Barack Obama became president, I did a short blog post about the two presidents who were sworn into office in NYC -- George Washington in 1789 and Chester A. Arthur in 1881.
Everyone knows that Washington was sworn-in here but few probably knew about Arthur -- and I thought it would be cool to commemorate that.
Well, once again, Mr NYC was ahead of his time -- way ahead of his time. NY1 has just done a short story about Arthur's impromptu swearing in on Lexington Avenue and 28th Street. You can see it here.
But remember, you heard about it here first!
