I appreciated this context a lot. It's become another mortifying spectacle--and I find it really weird how trump stages a garish UFC fight one week and then erects a neoclassical arch facsimile a couple of weeks later. He wants to have it all I guess. One of your lines that struck me most is this: "Appearances aren’t the enemy; dishonest appearances are." Anyway again thanks for the historical context; the 1893 fair was spectacular. I remember reading about it in Erik Larsen's eerie (2003) "Devil in the White City"....

Yep. Thanks for saying it so well. We will overturn effects of our king Midas.
Did you visit the Obama museum while you were in Chicago?
I did not. Wasn’t able to get tickets.
I was there last weekend and also could not get tickets.
