　　“If I was a Reagan person, I’d probably be very upset.” Daniel Weinberg is a presidential historian and owner of Chicago’s Abraham Lincoln Book Shop which honors another president who lived in Illinois. Weinberg is not convinced Reagan’s Chicago home is worth saving. “One can’t save everything, and he was very young and he was only here for a couple of years. I understand that it’s important, but what about every single place that he or any president lived?”
　　The University of Chicago declined VOA’s request for an interview. But Hyde Park Alderwoman Leslie Hairston says the school is communicating with her offi ce and the community about a way to move forward with the demolition, while honoring President Reagan’s legacy in the area. “We have had meetings with the community, and they found a way to respectfully commemorate President Reagan’s time there. They are going to put a plaque there.”
　　But Hairston says another president mayeventually overshadow Ronald Reagan in Hyde Park.
　　Barack Obama lived here before his inauguration in 2009 and could choose the neighborhood as the future home of his presidential library.
