Feel so sorry for Chicago
Chicago has beaten New York City and Hawaii as the chosen location for President Barack Obama's library, according to US media.
The winning proposal will be "connected to" the University of Chicago, although the site has not been decided on yet, NBC in Chicago reports.
The president was a law professor at the university and still has a home on the city's South Side.
The library will store his papers and help frame his legacy as president.
A formal announcement will be made the week after next, reports CBS.
It says the president indicated he was leaning towards choosing his hometown in a recent phone call with Chicago Mayor Rahm Emanuel, once his closest adviser at the White House.
Mr Obama met his wife, First Lady Michelle, when working at a law firm in the city in 1989.
