I’ve written before about the ugly Obama presidential library under construction in Chicago. So have others, and this column actually gives the design’s supposed rationale, about which nothing is obvious or sensible.
My thought concerning this design monstrosity on a Boxing Day morning is that it resembles a keep that lost its castle walls. Given Chicago’s reputation as an every-weekend gangland shooting gallery, maybe a castle keep isn’t entirely illogical. It should prove mostly impervious to handgun fire.
