Title: New Museum in Kansas Post by: swake on October 11, 2012, 01:47:59 pm I now present to you, The National Museum of Suburbia to cost $34 million and be located in Overland Park, KS. Some of the highlights include a "model ranch-style home" and "fake suburban neighbors played by actors in period suburban clothing." With a little more imagination on Dewey's part, this could have been part of Vision2.

Title: Re: New Museum in Kansas Post by: nathanm on October 11, 2012, 02:08:06 pm That's an odd way for them to frame that thing. There actually is interesting stuff about suburbia and how it started, how it mutated, and what it is now. Perhaps it's just interesting to me because I'm geeky.
If it keeps even one person from moving to the suburbs and becoming a "libertarian" because they hate their HOA, it'll be worth it. ;D Title: Re: New Museum in Kansas Post by: Conan71 on October 11, 2012, 02:20:59 pm It might actually be right up my alley since there's sure to be a mid-century modern element to it. Though I already live in what amounts to an MCM museum of sorts. ;)
