@nidisdnikki@MikeBales Oh, please. The man demolished the East Wing with zero input from Congress, oversight organizations, or the public. It is NOT his house to remodel like one of his personal residences. It's the people's house. Period.
@Chicago_History Also, when I was manning reception one day (as a 19 yo), some guy showed up with a handgun stashed in his newspaper asking to see Ogilvie. Security was discreetly notified, the situation was neutralized, and they escorted him out.
@Chicago_History One of the most interesting cases that I remember from that time was a suit against the architect of the Hancock building, claiming that the building swayed far too much in windy conditions. They constructed a model of the building and tested it in a wind tunnel.
