Civil Rights Museum in the penthouse?
A good friend popped by Monday afternoon after warning me that he had an unusual idea to float past me.
He wasn't kidding.
Remember the old City Club's perch atop the Lincoln Financial Building?
Put the museum there, he said, save on construction costs and make a statement about the museum's importance to the city in one fell swoop.
Only problem: The sit-ins weren't in the old JP Building; they were in Woolworth's.

That's a good point Allen. The whole reason behind converting the Woolworth's is because of the history. That's where the footprints are on memorialized on Elm Street. Still, my office is right next to the future museum, and I am still amazed at how little progress is being made. Every time I walk by, I see construction people there, but it never looks any different.
