It’s NOT A LIBRARY. It’s a TEMPLE to a POS .
Ah yes, a monument to the father of systematically destroying America and replacing it with some 3rd world shithole communist system. What a POS.
Friggin crook. Please Fade into history you schmuck.
The clock is ticking down on its failure and
closure. This structure got hit by a few
thousand ugly sticks at the same time.
The funds needed to complete everything
and maintain this edifice for the future are
not in hand nor will they ever be.
The visitors will stop after 18 months or so,
perhaps a new use would help.
Lets start making the new banner,
The New Cook County Morgue.
When its closed in 6 months because of inactivity, we can put turrents and barbed wire fencing around it and rent it to Hollywood for prison or Mad Max movies
When are they going to paint it? Or put some shutters on the (few) windows? Or how about some flower boxes? Or get rid of the 1960’s Politburo decor? Any good homeowners association or condo board would never have allowed this eyesore to be built If UGLY makes you laugh, this is a real belly buster.
