I
love
a
refurb
story
and
in
this
gem
a
but
off
of
the
beaten
path,
but
near
the
site
where
the
Obama
Presidential
Library
will
eventually
be
housed,
you
will
find
a
site
with
huge
Corinthian
columns
which
leads
you
in
to
repository
of
some
of
the
artifacts
of
the
Johnson
Publishing
Company
(which
facing
bankruptcy
is
alsp
rumored
to
have
its
digital
assets
up
for
sale).
Of
most
interest
was
an
exhibit
"The
Obama
Paintings"
by
Rob
Pruitt
which
feature
a
painting
of
a
scene
for
each
day
President
Obama
was
in
office
hung
in
the
main
gallery
space
and
throught
the
first
floor.
Each
painting
looks
like
an
intermediate
stage
between
the
negative
and
the
four
color
photo
all
in
not-so-subtle
tones
of
red,
white
and
blue
which
once
they
come
into
focus
feature
some
of
the
most
iconic
images
and
memorable
momnets
of
the
eight-year
term.
Many
of
the
paintings
were
stacked
because
I
dare
say
few
museum
spaces
have
enough
room
to
display
all
of
them
at
once
(you
can
do
the
math
of
8
years
by
365
days).
You
can
have
fun
seeing
some
of
your
favorite
celebrities
alongside
the
Obamas,
now
celebrities
in
their
own
right.
On
your
way
out
be
sure
to
stop
by
the
very
solemn
Tamir
Rice
space.
