Briefly, 5 years ago. When I was there, Hyde Park was a little strip of college neighborhood around the University of Chicago, between very poor and dangerous neighborhoods with frequent shootings. But UC is dying. Without it, Hyde Park could have some rough years of being another violent south side hood until suburban sprawl reverses.
Obama's absurd skyscraper plan may be obsolete before construction is completed. Skyscrapers use more energy, which is becoming more expensive.
Thank you for posting some relevant information.
Hopefully, the construction of that (ugly) building will bring jobs to the area.
I don’t like the looks of the building but that’s just me. It’s not my library and the cost is funded by private donations, I believe. So, I’m fine with it.
It's funny to see the local liberals who are fighting this twist themselves in knots to still love on Obama while opposing him at the same time. Saw many letters in the Trib.
Hilarious, isn't it?
When liberal oligarchs personally affect them, they don't like it anymore.
Totalitarians (eventually) are indiscriminate in who they harm and everyone at some point is adversely affected.
I'll bet every one of them voted for Obama and Biden, but failed to see what they were really about. If you asked them, they are so brainwashed that they will probably blame Trump.
One wonders as well........................... who the hell is going to visit the Obama library?
Also, Obama still has a lot of delusional influence among blacks and hasn’t spent a single second helping us. No social activism, speeches, food drives, donations, volunteerism, calls to stop black on black violence.
The guy just sits on his ass in his mansion while hosting parties for the liberal elites and plays golf with taxpayer money. He can at least pretend to give a damn about the people who elected him for 8 years.
I voted for him twice and do I regret it. I really though we would see meaningful change. Nothing, nada. Mostly he was doing magazine shoots at Martha’s Vineyard.

Ditto. The most corrupt president in my lifetime and I was a kid when Nixon was in office. What a mistake. Had my eyes been open I would have questioned how this guy who people in IL had never even heard of, got all that funding to run. I didn't know he was Soros-chosen at the time.
Biden will either tie him or take first place as worst President, I'm sure.
