Modesto's

"American Graffiti" is a movie that made Modesto famous. Chris Murphy wants to keep the culture of the movie alive in Modesto. He is part of the Graffiti USA Museum board. The museum is like a time machine to the 1960s, when people cruised in cars, went to drive-ins, and listened to rock 'n' roll. Murphy wants visitors to feel like they are walking down a street in 1962 when they visit the museum. The museum has big plans, including a radio museum, an event center for 500 people, and a special area dedicated to the rock 'n' roll music of the time. They want the museum to be a place that proudly represents "American Graffiti" and its director, George Lucas. Fans of Star Wars and graffiti will come together at the museum. Murphy believes it is important to keep the culture alive and growing. They are working hard to make the museum a reality. They also plan to have a classic diner at the museum. The goal is to open the museum in 2025.
