Can LA compete with San Francisco for the Lucas Museum?

Filmmaker George Lucas wants to open his own museum, but seems the force is not in Chicago.

The Lucas Museum of Narrative Art has announced they're not moving forward with plans to open in the Windy City. Instead, they're bringing the idea back to California. Plans for the museum were originally set for San Francisco, but L.A. is now in the running.

David Ng, entertainment reporter at the LA Times, joined the show to tell more about how L.A. can compete with San Francisco, and reaction from L.A.'s art scene.
