Are you allowed to park in their lot if you're not going inside the building?

Obamas Welcome Hollywood Elites, Famous Friends to Presidential Center Opening as Unpaid Subcontractors Claim Millions Owed

https://www.breitbart.com/entertainment/2026/06/18/obamas-welcome-hollywood-elites-famous-friends-to-presidential-center-opening-as-unpaid-subcontractors-claim-millions-owed/

"Former President Barack Hussein Obama and his wife Michelle welcomed a long list of Hollywood celebrities, former president, and world leaders for the grand opening of the Obama Presidential Center in Chicago, even as the Center has been engulfed in controversy for allegedly stiffing many black-owned building contractors for their construction fees."

"But even as Obama waxed poetic about Chicago’s South Side and celebrated “democracy,” his Obama Presidential Center has already become mired in controversy even before opening after a growing number of contractors — many of whom are black-owned businesses — are saying that the Center has not paid them for their construction work.

Construction companies are now reporting that the Center owes them amounts ranging from the tens of thousands to multiple millions in unpaid construction fees. And in the case of many of the black-owned businesses, they face bankruptcy if they don’t get paid soon, Fox News reported."

Just looking at it, naming it after michelle would have made more sense.

It would make a good prison conversion one day.

Obama was historic though being the first gay president and the best black president we ever had.

It's in the South side of Chicago and there's a housing project right across the street.  I would put the address, but I'm not sure that's allowed.  Just google Obama presidential library for a street view.

And annual attendance projected at one million and now totally sold out as far out as you can see. Reagan’s, my other favorite Presidential Library (Simi Valley, CA) is at about half that. No coincidence that those two have been our most upbeat and hopeful presidents, unlike what we are dealing with at present. Have not decided on the design, will decide in September when I visit.

What papers will Trump keep on file for his embarrassing library? Epstein paperwork?

This style has been very popular in some places. Some feel it's straight up immoral LOL.

I feel bad just looking at those buildings. Getbiggers, if you aren't familiar with this style and name and you click the link, let me know what you think about it.

EDIT. You know me, I just had to google this LOL. Oh wow. Suspicions confirmed, again.

Quote
AI Overview               

The intersection of Brutalist architecture and the Jewish experience spans the profound work of mid-century émigré architects, powerful Holocaust memorials, and modern cinematic explorations. Several Jewish architects pioneered the Brutalist movement, utilizing exposed concrete and geometric forms to express monumentality, memory, and resilience.

"The Brutalist" (2024–2025 Film): Brutalist architecture has also served as a deep metaphor for the Jewish immigrant and Holocaust-survivor experience. The acclaimed film The Brutalist features a fictional Hungarian-Jewish architect named László Tóth who pours his post-war trauma into designing an immense community center in the United States. The character is a composite of real-life architects like Breuer and Goldfinger, reflecting how the psychological weight of survival was poured into concrete structures.

Designed by Stevie Wonder
Architecture by Ray Charles forwarded by Hellen Keller

5 years over completion (was supposed to be in 2021)

Well over $300 million over budget

Owed millions to unpaid contractors

Some contractors went into bankruptcy for this communist looking monstrosity

$30 to enter

Another failed Dem project

Have only been to a few of the Libraries but here’s my take:

Obama (Chicago) visit upcoming - this will be a winner but the at Star Wars architecture will remain controversial (George Lucas and wife were at opening by the way).
 
Reagan (Los Angeles, Simi Valley) - a winner. Goosebumps all over the place. “Mr Gorbachev tear down this wall!”

Nixon (Yorba Linda, CA) - a sleeper, much better than I expected. Distance gives some perspective to his accomplishments, and they did not gloss over the rough stuff too badly.

Geoge W. Bush (Dallas) - DULL, and speaking of architecture boring neo- colonial SMU campus blend-in.

Has anybody been to Kennedy (Boston) or Clinton (Arkansas)? Want to see those two.

Very popular in NY in the 60s, 70s. I've always hated it. They're trying to put a kinder face on it now, but it was long considered - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hostile_architecture . They also used it in a lot of government buildings, as it conveyed that it was a serious place, and made visitors want to leave after their business, rather than staying, and using up resources.

The Trump Building is outstanding. Sleek and classy and folds well into the overall skyline It’s just the big print on it that gets to lots of Chicagoans.
