Hasta La Ideas

Continuing on this morbid day of posting “death equals life” stories, the Museum of Broadcast Communications here in Chicago, which you might recall suffered greatly at the hands of former Governor Rod Blagojevich, is gently utilizing the death of radio broadcaster Paul Harvey, who supported the museum and even filmed a video for them, to hopefully help kickstart some financing so they can finally have their building finished and stop having to sell off pieces of their collection before they even have doors to open. But while that might sound somewhat uncomfortably opportunist at the hands of a person’s death, in seeing that Harvey was such a supporter and the museum’s goal is to tell the stories of people like him and the surrounding industry, it makes sense and we hope the museum winds up finding success. Here’s a bit:

We’re in a unique time, I think, to rekindle the spirit of the museum. I’m aware of the cloud of doubt that hangs over the project. We haven’t given up on the project. It’s just gone through hell, and hopefully hell and back, before we get our doors open.”
