The South Side lakefront jewel where Barack and Michelle Obama held their wedding reception vs. a rare, open downtown field set against Chicago's majestic mountain range of skyscrapers.
These are just a few of the preliminary offerings area universities plan to present to the president, the first lady and the few confidants helping them as they begin to weigh where to locate the Obama presidential library and museum.
Meanwhile, the University of Hawaii, where the president grew up, has said it wants to build the library on oceanfront property in Kakaako, a commercial and retail district of Honolulu between Ala Moana and Waikiki. It remains to be seen what parcels Columbia University, the President's undergraduate alma mater, will offer, with a report pinning the site at just north of its Morningside Heights campus.

A great depository for his executive orders...but it will take a two-seater at least.

Is this bidding process going to be as lucrative as the bids for his Senate seat?

There is no way they are going to put the library at the Garfield location. The area west of Cottage Grove is hostile to civilization in general, but especially at night. Interestingly, there is a Catholic Church nearby honoring the great
St. Charles Lwanga, a man Obama would have no use for.
