Proposed Museum of Suburbia

From the October 10, 2012, Yahoo! Finance "Suburban Dream: Museum of Suburbia" by Jim Carlton, Wall Street Journal.

Overland Park is a suburb of Kansas City, Missouri.  Johnson County officials are proposing spending $34 million for a National Museum of Suburbia which will feature a ranch-style home along with lawn furniture to be built in a former bowling alley.

They expect to draw 60,000 visitors who will pay $6 each to see it.  Having grown up in the Northwest Suburbs of Chicago, I sure would pay a visit.
