Ian Fleming Foundation eyeing Illinois facility for James Bond museum

Doug Redenius considers possibilities of using a former Momence auto dealership

[Binyamin]

Ahh, yes. James Bond and Illinois. They have such a rich history together. Makes perfect sense.

[Major Tallon]

Well, I for one am all in favor.

[Jeao007]

This is incredible news! I guess living in Illinois finally pays off.

Hmmm, next film "LIVE FOR THE MOMENCE?" or "MOMENCE to MOMENCE"? doen's quite ring there, Doug..good luck, though. We did wonder if the Leiter House in Key West or Palmyra on Nassau more appropiate and both residences--

Sounds interesting, didn't know they had that much stuff! I met Doug when he was in London a few years back, nice guy. He told me he worked for the government? Is he a postman then?

[MarcAngeDraco]

Would love to see this amazing collection properly displayed somewhere.

Anywhere really...

Actually, Doug IS a postman, mailman or whatever the correct verbiage is these days.

And, since a lot of these items are currently in storage in Illinois, I can see the angle to open something close and thus avoid the transportation costs of moving this stuff all over the country.

On the other hand, aside from the CBn'ers who find themselves geographically convienient, does the "if we build it, they will come" hold true. Time will tell.

This would be great as I live in Ohio and could easily get to Illinois. It seems like we sometimes get the short end of things not being on one of the coasts when it comes to things like this, so this would be very welcome.

Hey, I'd make the trip. Would love to see this collection. Hope it happens.

[Qwerty]

I'd definitely show up for this.

Ah, OK. Thanks for clearing it up. When he said he worked for the 'government' we kind of thought he was a spy..... Maybe he just spies through people's mail

Well, his being a Bond fan and all, I am sure that was the implied intent.

It's all in the choice of words. My garbagemen are "Sanitation Engineers." and so forth and so on. . .

If they ever actually do this, we should organize a CBn event to go see it!

It could easily be done since it's such a central location for so many of us.
