Angelino's by residence or just in your heart get involved to save this landmark (keep in mind it is a landmark in our hearts but not YET legally one) I am sure we all just love the landscape of our city being mall-ed and stuccoed away Why who wouldn't rather eat at the Wendy's in the depressing mini mall location that used to be the Ultra Hip Tiny Naylor's at Sunset and La Brea? And the new Arco Towers vs. the chic deco Atlantic Richfield building lost way back when. The Brown Derby now a Korean nightclub perched on top of a mini mall clearly forgotten by most of us. Who'd think that the only surviving Brown Derby Restaurant would be a fake one at Disney Florida. Schwab's? It's gone we needed Virgin to go right there! And what an attractive building that is? I could go on with what is now gone. Please note the sarcasm in this posting if you haven't done so already. We need to save our history and the Ambassador is a VERY important part of it! It isn't a cute gas station or a googie style furniture store BUT it is REAL place! A place where our city-dare I say even our countries and worlds movers and shakers that made history met, played, did business and where history itself was made! I urge everyone to please get involved if you are a common every day citizen, get involved-if you happen to be famous or of some clout and reading the posts on this site then you should doubly get involved and use your voice to save this great place. We all need to help and I hope you will.
