In what would have given us another good reason to visit Chicago, we now have news that George Lucas has cancelled the plans to build a awesome museum and with the Star Wars craze at full peak, it will bring a lot of business to the area as well. 425o47
In a statement about his decision, Lucas said “No one benefits from continuing their seemingly unending litigation to protect a parking lot,” and “The actions initiated by Friends of Parks and their recent attempts to extract concessions from the city have effectively overridden approvals received from numerous democratically elected bodies of government.”
So now, another undetermined city will get The Lucas Museum of Narrative Art and if it’s not going to be Chicago, I hope it’s someplace close to me.
