Transcript

Hey everybody. I am here at the Obama Presidential Center. It is starting to happen. It >> looks real. How about that? >> The landscaping starting to come in. The athletic center is basically done. And then there's just some amazing views and some amazing art because art and culture is part of how we build communities and how we bring about change. each place in as part of my life. I could not be more excited because I know people here on the south side of Chicago and visitors from all around the world are going to be able to use this space in an active way. >> You guys keep doing what you're doing. Don't let me mess you up. >> It looks great, guys. You're all doing good. If you ask me what my favorite spots are, I have to say that the sky room at the top of the tower gives you one of the best views of Chicago that you will have ever seen. But I got to say this reading room, I think I'm going to be spending some time in here. So maybe we'll end up reading a book together and we'll have to whisper cuz librarians are very strict. All right, look forward to you guys visiting. We're going to be opening next year.
