The local media blew it, too. Pity.
Yes, thanks for the report. Any pix?
If I make it to one Presidential library, it will be President Reagan's. Where attendance is up...
"The Reagan library has not needed any intense marketing efforts this summer. More than 110,000 visitors have poured into the mission-style complex northwest of Los Angeles since the facility reopened on June 14 after a weeklong memorial to the late president.
That is more than half the attendance that the most popular library -- Lyndon Johnson's in Texas -- sees in an entire year. The Reagan library, which had seen a 31 percent drop in visitors until the former president's death, expects to log an unprecedented 400,000 visitors by the end of the year."

I told you that it would be tacky!!!!!
< You just can't getthat many people into a double-wide....
>
Nope...it may be built bigger, but it certainy looks like a single wide. A double wide is much more upscale.
I live in a single wide (16x80) and, trust me, even it beats the heck outta that monstosity.
Did you see my #40? The attendance at Clinton's library is well below Reagan's and Bush's libraries when they opened.
If I'm not mistaken, its a single wide. Looks like it anyway.
Oh its a double-wide alright, if not Hillery couldn't get around in it.
Please No Pictures.
....The National Archives and Records Administration, which operates the facility,.....
The gift that just keeps on giving!
?????I wonder what percent of the attendance gate our government gets to operate presidential libraries????
I wonder that if the facility operates at a loss, who picks up the tab, or who has the authority to shut it down for lack of interest??
Oh now that REALLY is disgusting! Why couldn't they have done necessary restoration to that building, instead of building the ugliest single-wide in America?
An African American historical site, demolished by our first black president....
Must be that Calypso Louis "Million Man" math again.
Hey, that looks a heck of a lot better than that trailer they threw together. Better stuff inside too ;-)
How many times did they have the guard turn the counter meter as you enter to reach the magic 100,000 visitor
They held a ceremony honoring the "estimated" 100,000th visitor and lavished the female High School Principal with a gift basket, etc..
It is appropriately called the Clinton LIEbrary. sw
They could gin up the attendance by opening a display featuring the stained blue dress and the wet cigar.

The peep shows suck. They need new material.
Ive heard that they also neglect to clean the booths between visitors.
It's little things like this that give you incentive to stay healthy and take care of yourself so that you are sure to outlive the bastard. You might have to wait in line, though, when the day comes to deliver your tribute!
The population of Little Rock is right around 200,000. One would think a Presidential Library for a home-state president would be of interest to the people who live in Arkansas! But according to ED, Little Rock'ians are too stupid and/or lost to find their way to the giant single-wide in the sky. Only 42,000 visitors from a city of nearly 200K...how pathetic is that!?
