Do not understand where you are coming from. You need to be more specific. Take care either way.

I'm glad that a museum is in the works in Gary because Gary is one of the top 10 worst places in the USA. That city needs help.

I can't believe it's been a year since he passed. It's still so shocking and overwhelming. Having a Michael Jackson museum is definitely a great idea. This is arguably the greatest entertainer of all time, so it would be very appropriate. His hometown is probably the best location as well.
