A Comprehensive Refresher on the Proposed Lucas Museum

We've spend a lot of time recently posting about the proposed Lucas Museum, but if you're not up-to-date or want a refresher, Curbed Chicago had a great comprehensive read on the plan, the controversy and likely outcome:
Yesterday afternoon, the Chicago Plan Commission held three separate votes to approve the proposed Lucas Museum. The controversial site selection is an empty surface parking lot just south of Soldier Field, stretching from roughly 1801-1931 South Lake Shore Drive and is used only a handful of days throughout the year, primarily by tailgaters during football season. The controversy is primarily derived from the fact that the site is presently located east of Lake Shore Drive, where as according to the Chicago Lakefront Protection Ordinance and Corresponding Lakefront Plan, no private development may occur.
