Obama Presidential Library to be on the Southside of Chicago

++He had to wait until Rahm Emmanuel was re-lected as mayor of Chicago before the decision was finalized. But it seems that President Obama chose the south side of Chicago as the site for his Presidential library. 

++He alluded to this choice when he spoke earlier in dedicating the Haymarket national park. Chicago was chosen over Columbia, the University of Illinois, and the University of Hawaii. 

++It will not be quite on the campus of one of my alma maters but close.
