Copy This: Free Local Book Exchange...

Making the neighborhoods we inhabit more comfortable places can often be accomplished in the simplest of ways.  One guy in Chicago's Logan Square took a very creative approach to increasing the comfort and connectivity of his neighborhood.  Taking one of the ubiquitous newspaper boxes found all over, he gutted it, repainted it and placed it on a prominent street corner in his neighborhood.  The revamped box reads, "Logan Square Community Book Exchange," and usually has a steady supply of surplus books available for anyone who is interested.  The book exchange has been a success and has even spawned the Logan Square Video Exchange.   We could easily see this working in Browne's Addition somewhere near the roundabout.

That's a great idea, but I know a bunch of people would put porno's in there for a good laugh.

your right though, Brownes Addition is the perfect place for it.
