I don't disagree, I really liked the very first expansion plans they had for the existing museum. But CF after CF and a downtown museum is what we're getting. Can't put the toothpaste back in the tube, though, so might as well be constructive.

I guess that's funny, but it doesn't really make sense, since it doesn't really follow the concentric zone model of cheapest land rent theory, etc., etc., etc., etc.

Typical small town prairie mentality - if there's no cheap surface parking right at the door it's not worth going to.

While the former site is indeed beautiful, having a cultural critical mass on one street in the core of the core will be fantastic. If parking is your biggest concern, we have succeed.
