George Lucas is reportedly considering his home state of California as the location for his proposed Lucas Museum of Narrative Art. Let’s ponder for a moment why Sacramento might be the perfect place.

I’m a 27-year-old high school English teacher, but my long-term goal is to open a performing arts school.
