You knew it was only a matter of time.
Now that Barack Obama is officially our country's next president, the places he has links to are working to capitalize on their piece of the story. Anyone who listened to him during the campaign knows his father is from Kenya, his mom from Kansas. That he was born in Hawaii, raised in Indonesia and went to school in Los Angeles, Boston and New York City. Now, he and his family live in Chicago.
If you want to include some Obama sightseeing in your next trip, here's a story that will tell you what you need to know before you go.
Chicago especially is hyping up the places Obama and his family frequent.
What do you think about this?
You might be able to verify this with your pals in DC--I've been told by a relative in DC that George Bush never dined in a DC restaurant in eight years. Instead, he retreated to Camp David or Texas. Even Pa-pa Bush ventured across the Potomac to Falls Church to his fav restaurant, the Peking Duck, in Culmore. So it will be nice to see the Obamas out and about. Kennedy did it. The Clintons did and so did the Carters.
