There are fasces on the entry facades at Chicago City Hall.

Sometimes the fasces are creepier then seeing swastikas.


Speaking of fasces: who here has seen the Balbo Monument on Balbo Drive in Chicago?

Weirdest place you ve seen a swastika

In Minneapolis:

The building across the street from Grumpy's (on the same side of Washington, but across 11th) apparently used to be a mausoleum in the early 20th century. I was inside it in 2002 or 2003, when Frank's Plumbing (since moved) kept it as a place to store extra radiators and stuff. Every square in the tin ceiling on the first level had a swastika inscribed in it. This would have gone in well before the 1930s.

The place has since been renovated, and I'd be pretty surprised if that tin ceiling is still up. That'd be pretty tough to explain.
