On the short term, those are the two things that I’m going to focus on.”

How about three to five years out?

Well, we’re trying to find a way to finance a connector between us and the Science Museum which is next door.  They have a garage that’s highly unutilized and we have no garage.  So, if we can connect and keep it enclosed to get to the garage, we think that it will be very helpful to them and very satisfying to us.  That’s probably our biggest project.

After that, there may be space behind it in the hill to build enough flexible space to take care of the space that the Science Center and I need.  We need a temporary exhibit hall and we also need some classrooms.  They need classrooms, too, so maybe we can use the same classrooms.”

Is it just me or are you guys also struck by how ironic it is that rock and roll and science are looking at how they can be partners in education?  Who would have ever thunk it?

I’ll close this piece with a plea and a bit of advice to the legions of Boomerocity readers that are around this fertile green planet of ours: 

First, if you or your business is looking for a good cause in the area of cultural preservation to support, the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame should be at the top of your list.  As Mr. Stewart told us, you can support the Hall without ever having to show up (but you’ll definitely want to visit!).  If you’re feeling generous and want to make an online donation, you can click here to make it happen.  Or, if you want something besides a warm fuzzy feeling about your contribution, you can purchase your choice of some great items from the Hall’s online store here.

Secondly, don’t assume that the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame road show will, a) happen and, b) or, if it does, that it will come to a city, town or village near year.  Book a flight and hotel reservations to, and in , the great city of Cleveland, Ohio, and plan on spending a day – no, make that two days – at the incredible Rock and Roll Hall of Fame.  Tell ‘em, that Boomerocity sent you.

And, while you’re at it, buy a poor guy a book or pin from there, will ya?
