George Lucas Is Taking His Museum Away from Chicago

gizmodo.com: After a prolonged battle with San Francisco’s NIMBY empire, George Lucas announced two years ago that he would take his giant filmmaking museum project to the friendlier shores of Chicago. Now, after yet another vicious battle with Chicago’s NIMBYs, he’s abandoning his plans there, too. You’d think he was trying to build the Death Star or something.

This man is just trying to show his collection of star wars stuff and is struggling to find a location to build the museum with out something in the city going wrong. He was originally trying for San Francisco but had to abandoned that idea. Then he moved to Chicago but that didn't work out. In Chicago Lucas was trying to do good for the community and build outreach programs to help a community. Its sad that something couldn't have been worked out because it would have been so great for that city to have these kinds of programs. Its good that in Los Angles they said they would love to have the museum. Also Lucas has ties to the University of Southern California. Lets just hope this one doesn't fall through.
