South Suburban Company Gets in on Obama Inauguration

In just a couple hours, four truckloads of barricades will ship from AAA Rental in Markham to Washington D.C. for the Jan. 21 Presidential Inauguration.

President Obama isn’t the only South Chicago representative attending the inauguration ceremony next Monday.

Sometime Friday afternoon, four trucks filled with 2000 barricades from AAA Rental in Markham will depart for Washington D.C. to help build the perimeter for the parade route from the Capitol Building to the White House.

This is the fourth presidential inauguration AAA Rental has been involved with, according to owner Jay Heiferman of Homewood. He says this is the largest inaugural order his company’s had to date.
