I just read through all these posts.

Basement Kahuna pointed out to me way back when we first met that this is sort of the ultimate genre to get involved with because it encompasses clothes, music, food, drink, decor, etc. and you can participaet with it. It is so wide and it is so accessible. There is a lot of material to work with.

You property comment immediately brought to mind La Mariana in Hawaii. It's practically a museum already, and, reading what was said about the restrictions on the use of the land, it sounds like they would be very pleased to see something like this on the property. And the restrictions on the land make it undesirable by other types of developers. There really might be state money or private money there for such a project.

In my research to open a Polynesian restaurant here in TN (with a Poly Pop museum inside it), I found that state liquor law allows for museums to serve alcohol under certain guidelines. Depending on the state laws, that is a possibility even without a restaurant attached.

But I would hope that you could tear down a Walgreens to build the museum myself...
