One of the best books I've ever read.

Chicago seems like the perfect example of dindus completely turning a city/town to shite. Anyway we can just give one state to them and let them have it all to themselves? Let's see great of a civilization those blacks can build for themselves without the white man and white woman holding them down.

Just say what you’re trying to say rather than repeat the same thing just a little different each time.

Most of those structures were temporary for the World's Fair. Chicago wanted to upstage Paris, so they had the best architects and designers in the world designing all of those temporary structures.

Made out of cheap wood and plaster to look like stone

Erik Larson - The devil in the white city. Great book about the Chicago worlds fair and the "temporary" amazing city and a serial killer that posed as a Dr during the same time frame.
Non-fiction but reads like fiction. Such a great book. Heard it was being made into a movie.

Museum of Science and Industry, right?

Have you ever been to Chicago? I'm not saying they are in good hands with their leadership but it's still a very beautiful city which has shite hole parts like any large city.

The fire was nice enough to spare these very flammable wooden/plaster buildings it seems.
Stone figures in the demolition as well.
We will see more of these 'temp' cities and buildings as we progress in our journey.
I think it's safe to say the majority of people had no idea of the grandeur and scale and detail of these buildings, as evidenced in the Paris thread which took most posters who commented by surprise.

This dumbass said the same thing in every post in his first thread about Paris last week.
I’m interested in what his long game is.

I straight out said in this thread I'm not completely buying the narrative that all of these buildings all around the world were patched together out of plaster intending to last just a few months.
This isn't a big thread, it shouldn't be hard to check what's been said.

HiddenTiger is a hardcore conspiracy theorist type if I recall correctly.
I've actually spent a lot of time in this specific area. Jackson Park, Washington Park, and the Midway Plaisance still have lots of imprints from the world fair everywhere you turn in the area, even besides the still-existing buildings and museums.
The neighborhoods adjacent to the area are also amazingly beautiful and were largely built as a function of the world's fair, even if some of them are quite run-down at this point (though, not all of them - Hyde Park, as one prominent example, is still nice as hell and really expensive to live in). That was the richest and nicest area of Chicago until the 1960's or so.

This aids in the narrative that there's more to the story.

So lay it out: what exactly is your theory here?
There are lots of other buildings with just as much grandeur in Chicago that were built during that time and still stand, many of them not far from where the world's fair was.
So lay it out there: what actually happened and why?

'I' don't have a theory.
I have interest. Intrigue.
I would hope WE can do this together and collectively check it out.
I'd like to share images from these worlds fairs, and then government buildings from around the world, and then architecture and city layouts from the late 1800s and early 1900s.
