Is this like that city skyline ranking where the two people who created it were from Dallas?

I ran some analytics to determine where the majority of the comments are coming from on that article.  Should probably go in the maps thread, but whatevs:

I mean the #50 library has the Gutenberg Bible but Hale does look really pretty at night when it's all lit up.  Probably a toss up.

My dad saw Jesus one time in Hale Library. Gods on our side and these guys obviously know that.

Was the piece intentionally badly written as irony -- perhaps as commentary on the lack of prestige for the written word in modern times? Or is the author just semi-illiterate?   :frown:

I don't see how I could dispute it.  These particular individuals are unquestionably qualified to make such determinations and the criteria they used in doing so is practically unassailable.

Hale is a a modern marvel widely recognized as the best.  I am surprised it isn't higher.
