Idolator
Apparently, there are talks between Paul McCartney and Louise Harrison—George's sister, who's lived in the U.S. since before the Beatles blew up—to open a Beatles museum in Branson, Mo., Harrison's home city. There's already one museum dedicated to the band in Liverpool; given the band members' later residencies in New York and Los Angeles, you'd be forgiven for imagining (sorry) a museum to be constructed in one of those cities. But Louise has the memorabilia, and in a city where Yakov Smirnoff can make a living, it's hard not to imagine something like this doing well. [EW Hollywood Insider]

Considering how much they borrowed from Motown, I'd vote for Detroit.
Can't see Yoko letting this happen. And hey! What about Ringo? I think he was in the band too and he might still be alive. Perhaps someone should check.
The Beatles as Branson shlock? The final sign of the apocalypse is here.
