Well folks, it’s official – the Derby will be protected. Four of these people voted against the fifth making the Derby a Historic-Cultural Monument and thus preventing it from being torn down. More details here.

The historic status helps make it more difficult to tear it down however it’s not the end all final say in the matter. At least from my understanding of things….

in regards to above…
HURRAH!! I can’t believe it worked. I hope it leads to good things.
Damn! Whole Foods wouldda brought nuthin but more hotties into sight!
Hurrah for communism!
I do like it when Los Angeles actually saves a building from time to time (OH HOLLYWOOD STAR LANES HOW I MISS YE, you shoulda been a historical monument too!) but that part of town could still use a Whole Foods.
Well, it would totally put Nature Mart out of business, which is one block down, is all organic, healthy food, and is a small business. I’d feel really uncomfortable if Whole Foods came in and wiped them out.
