I located some more pictures of it. It's stunning. Especially inside, as another commenter pointed out.

You're an idiot, Charles. No, you're worse than an idiot: you're aesthetically impaired. People like you are the reason denizens of more cosmopolitan locales accuse Seattle of being a bunch tasteless rubes. Generally those accusations are confined to our fleece attire, but you won't rest until they're convinced we know nothing about architecture as well.

The old store-front wasn't honest or humble, Charles. It was sad. Similar to you and your lack of new ideas to talk about. Old schtick. Your 3 early-morning posts a day are less readable, by the day...

The new Beacon Hill library is gorgeous and functional. It's a dream come true for long-time Beacon Hill residents.

Charles is a troll.

because charles is none of those things.

. . . and also all that stuff you said about the community that the patrons generate. you can only say that if it's charles approved. otherwise, it didn't happen!

@20 - "Charles is apparently smoking crack today."

correction:: _every day_

Library patrons represent the diversity of Beacon Hill: grandparents with magazines, babies gnawing board books, teenagers looking bored--speaking many languages and from a range of income levels.

It's sincere, and honest, and useful. Why would you want it to go away?

How is that site specific? Canoe on a hill?

And honestly, it's orders of magnitude better than the tiny storefront in the dilapidated building that it replaced.
