Local: Will Cat dump support for museum? Will Peoria media get around to covering IMAX failure?

Merle Widmer, who recently tipped us off to the failure of the Cedar Rapics IMAX, says he thinks Caterpillar stockholders who are nervous about how the economy is affecting their stock price, may put pressure on Caterpillar bosses to stop wasting money on this museum/visitor center thing.

By the way: Has ANYONE in the Peoria media mentioned the Cedar Rapids thing? I mean, the Build the Block ads make a huge frigging deal about IMAX, but it’s apparently not the sure-fire money maker that some people claim it is. You would think that the mainstream media would report on that sort of thing .. well, at least when they aren’t running down stories about lost dogs.
