From the Chicago Tribune: A Chicago casino anchoring a redevelopment that includes the former Michael Reese Hospital site would be more economically viable for the city than a Barack Obama presidential library or a cluster of convention hotels, according to a study Mayor Rahm Emanuel’s administration released Tuesday.
A hired team led by the Chicago-based architectural firm Skidmore, Owings & Merrill was charged with creating a framework to redevelop the 48-acre Near South Side site, but their recommendations extended far beyond that parcel. http://www.chicagotribune.com/news/politics/clout/chi-chicago-casino-more-economically-viable-for-michael-reese-site-than-obama-library-hotels-20131119,0,2352543.story
Well, I don't know, would the largest collection of fiction coming from the Obama administration draw a lot of people?
And if they did build an Obama Library, it would be over budget, not open on time, if it ever does open and it would have scores of underemployed people working there.
Maybe Obama could open his library here:
