Architecture and beloved landmarks define cities and give them their character. They foster a sense of pride and community among residents. When you erase a city’s history you erase what once made it unique from other cities. It’s called homogenization. Los Angeles doesn’t need another southern fried chicken joint at the expense of losing a historic diner loved by generations of Angelenos.
People wonder why it matters. They say “who cares about stuff from the 20s or the 40s or the 60s? It’s not that old compared to places in Europe and Asia!” Well guess what, THEY HAD TO START SOMEWHERE. If we don’t do the work to protect the few things still left to protect, our history will be lost for future generations. There is a reason so many people go to see London and Paris and Amsterdam, and it is NOT because everything is NEW
History is something that can’t be replaced… please don’t allow a common fast food chain to take over a beloved restaurant of the past, Los Angeles in itself is a historic city that deserves to keep treasures like these alive..
