LITTLE ROCK, Ark. (AP) -- Origami-like chandeliers hang from a 40-foot ceiling illuminating a massive reception hall. Drawn gold drapes part to reveal a full-size replica of the Oval Office. Two weeks before the Clinton Presidential Library is unveiled, it's enough to make dyed-in-the-wool Democrats forget about Tuesday's presidential result.

``I tell people, my presidential election is in 15 days,'' said Skip Rutherford, the head of Bill Clinton's private foundation, during a preview Wednesday of the nearly finished Clinton Center.

A crowd of 30,000 donors, reporters, celebrities and international dignitaries are expected to descend on the 30-acre presidential park for the Nov. 18 grand opening, with some 20,000 onlookers potentially overflowing onto adjacent streets.

3. Little Rock is a friendly little city - pretty,too, I think

Y'all come see us. Good local brewed beer can be had within a few blocks of the Clinton Presidential Center. Also be sure to go to the Blues Jam at Juanita's (near downtown) on Thursday nights. Pick up free copies of "Arkansas Times" and "Night Flying" for full entertainment and dining info.
