As some of you know, the world's largest archive of film and TV content is kept in underground salt mines in Hutchinson, Kansas. Our Kevin Murphy reports from there:

If the Smithsonian Institution is the nation’s attic, this could pass as its basement — and Hutchinson is betting that the mine will be a tourist draw for its lore, its history and for its geology that dates back 230 million years.

Local officials are optimistic -- of course, they're required to be by Kansas law.
