The Obama Presidential Center Is Finally Here. Prepare to Pay Up. – Wall Street Journal

Cherry blossoms bloom in Jackson Park near the Obama Presidential Center in Chicago.At $30, adult admission to see the 44th president’s story is more than at any other U.S. presidential library, a Wall Street Journal review shows. That is 59% higher than the average for presidents from John F. Kennedy through George W. Bush.

Maybe they can run convenience busses from the Center to the Southland and Indiana casinos.

Better yet, just put slot machines and electronic poker machines in that monstrosity. Save the trip all together. Only down side is the machines would only take money and never pay out…typical democrat operation. Ya know… If you mounted an arm on the side of it…it sort of looks like a slot machine.

I’d like to remind out of town visitors to be careful where they park, don’t wander the neighborhood looking for the beverage you may be craving and just like the two airports announce all the time, don’t accept any rides from people soliciting business at curb side. Have a great time!

Prepare to pay up? Not really for millions of Chicago-area residents who will never step foot in it.

The place reminds of a Nazi bunker from WW2.

If it was built to simulate some old African empire structure. I’m not surprised that empire was destroyed!

Don’t allow it to open until the Reserve fund is meet that he said would be established to cover costs in the future . Has a minuscule amount in the reserve . The city and taxpayers will have to COVER THE COSTS .

Bring your real id or you can’t get in.
Certainly never can be a voting place in Illinois!

No doubt the information on the ID’s will be padding the neighborhood voting rolls.

It looks like the Morlock temple from the original “ The Time Machine “(1960).
