Recently George Lucas decided to put up a ton of money to build a Star Wars museum in Chicago. WTF????? Chicago has no connection to Star Wars, but San Francisco didn’t allow him the site he was trying for. Chicago seems ready to give him a piece of land on the lakefront- for free!!! The initial plans call for possibly the ugliest building ever constructed in our city (Known for it’s great architecture). A judge has stepped in, and the project may be declared illegal, as it is on park district land. We can only hope!!
I recently spent a few days in New Orleans, wandering around the French Quarter, and I came across a museum that fits in perfectly with the New Orleans vibe! It includes Jack Kevorkian’s original death machine, among many other cool exhibits.
Maybe George Lucas should take note!!! That’s how to fit a museum intop a city!
