Ronald Reagan’s Childhood Home To Be Bulldozed For Possible Future Home Of Obama Library

President Ronald Reagan’s childhood home in Chicago is scheduled to be demolished. The University of Chicago recently purchased the property and announced that it intends to turn the property into a parking lot. According to a report in The Washington Times, that plot could soon be the parking lot for the future site of President Barack Obama’s presidential library.


“Whatever you think of Reagan — once the building’s gone, it’s gone forever,” Hyde Park Historical society board member Jack Spicer told the U.K Daily Mail.

Their report speculates that political motives may be behind the University of Chicago’s decision to raze the apartment building which housed the nation’s 40th president in his youth.

The home in question he only lived at for a year.  Here's another home that is recognized as his boyhood home and he lived there a few years longer than the house in question.

I don't think we need to worship every single thing Reagan touched lol...  He clearly lived in many different homes as a kid, we don't need to enshrine them all.  Pick one and be done with it.  oh, they already have.

He was given the Nobel Peace prize for no reason. So what else is new.

Eventhough, as Hugo says, it's not a big deal.
