The proposed George Lucas Museum is looking to leave the Windy City. Chicago Business reports that a statement released by Lucas' wife, Mellody Hobson, casts blame on a local civic group for the museum's decision to pursue other locations. The group, Friends of the Parks, rejected Mayor Rahm Emanuel's proposed site, after previously rejecting its initial proposed location as well. "My husband and I have worked in earnest for two years, side by side with every relevant city agency, community leader and policy maker to give what would be the largest philanthropic gift to an American city," Hobson said.
