What's wrong with the landfill or the sewage treatment plant? Those both seem to be more appropriate locations although ideally, Caracas, Havana or Pyongyang would be better.

What’s wrong with not having one for this phony President?

The Obama “library” will probably only keep one book in stock.

‘Communism for Dummies’

NAH, Zero will go for Hawaii..where he plans to retire.

His library won’t have just one book.

It will have three. The two ghost written for and Communism for Dummies.

And they will be on teleprompter.

When you think about it, putting his 'library and museum' on the site of a closed steel plant is perfect symbology for the destruction he has wrecked on American jobs and manufacturing.

Believe me you’d be better off visiting a landfill or sewage plant than you would the south side of Chicago.

“She’s openly talking about building Obama’s presidential library and museum at the old USX site in an abandoned part of town called “South Shore” that’s eyed for redevelopment”

I’m thinking a porta potty might be more appropriate

[Eric in the Ozarks]

I was thinking it would be built at the old Clark Refinery in Blue Island. It would be tough to find a more polluted piece of property.

Somebody’s awfully sloppy on the details.

The old US Steel “South Works” site is on the edge of the so-called “South Chicago” neighborhood, not “South Shore”, which is well north of the abondoned steel mill site.

The South Works plant site is bordered on the south by the Calumet River, on the east by the lake, and on the west and north by neighborhoods which at best would be described as dicey.

South Shore, a couple of decades back, was actually a pretty nice area, and even now it’s not as bad as most of the black neighborhoods on the South Side - some of the apartment buildings on the lake itself are actually quite nice. But if they truly are going to build on the US Steel site, that’s something a definite couple of notches down from South Shore.

There’s a couple of large landfill garbage mounds just south of Lake Calumet that would make a fine site for the library - they would even come with their own equivalent of BO.
