The New Kennebunkport: Obama To Retreat To Chicago During Breaks
CHICAGO — When President-elect Barack Obama heads home for a break from the White House, he won't go to a sprawling ranch or private seaside compound.
Obama will come back to a crowded city neighborhood, creating different security challenges for the Secret Service and perhaps headaches for his neighbors.
No other recent first family has lived in a city neighborhood like the Obamas. The $1.6 million mansion he and his wife, Michelle, share with their two young daughters sits just off a busy street _ a stretch of which has been closed to traffic _ and his closest neighbors are just a few feet away.
"My Kennebunkport is on the South Side of Chicago," Obama said in a recent interview with the Chicago Tribune. "Our friends are here. Our family is here. We are going to try to come back here as often as possible ... at least once every six weeks or couple months."
