They were latinos and actually drinking booze from a paper cup and making a lot of noise. When I complained about them to the Asian librarian, she told me that some people come from another culture and I would just have to be more open minded.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7612367701941502836.post-69403902206426772262014-01-23T21:46:34.128-06:002014-01-23T21:46:34.128-06:00That's funny.

The rope setup made it just about impossible to use.Chicago Lampoonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04156263304836143442noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7612367701941502836.post-31057252895577490182014-01-22T12:10:34.528-06:002014-01-22T12:10:34.528-06:00I have been to two Chicago Public Libraries in my ...I have been to two Chicago Public Libraries in my life.<br /><br />Division Street right past Welles. I was the only white person in there. The library was packed, but half of it was empty at 8PM. I sat there. Sir, you can not sit there. Why? It's the children's section. But there are no kids here?<br /><br />Other was Harold Washington. Oh what a treat. On a cold day it was nothing more than a hangout for local flophouse hotel residents who only used books as face props while they slept. The other great feature of HWL was the young bucks doing laps around looking for any unattended device. After an hour, since I couldn't find a power source and I didn't want to kill my laptop's battery, I decided to leave. I watched the restroom for a few minutes and since I didn't see anybody go in for a few minutes I thought it might be safe to use. Pushing the door open I was hit with the most noxious odor I believe I have ever smelled. Needless to say I did not use.rjphttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12366032291597903310noreply@blogger.com
