DERBY LANDMARK NOMINATION IN DOUBT!

URGENT - SAVE THE DERBY - - LANDMARK NOMINATION IN TROUBLE!

THE DERBY MAY BE A LANDMARK IN OUR HEARTS BUT OUR NOMINATION TO MAKE IT A LANDMARK ON PAPER GOT A THUMBS DOWN.

Through the LA Conservancy, we submitted a nomination to the Cultural Heritage Commission to make the Derby (4500 Los Feliz Blvd.) an official City Landmark. The Commission's Staff Report was just released and it recommends that the Commission not even take our nomination under consideration. THEY WON'T EVEN CONSIDER IT!!!

WE NEED TO FIGHT BACK!!!

SHOW THE COMMISSION THAT THE DERBY IS A LANDMARK WORTH SAVING!!

THE COMMISSION IS MEETING THIS THURSDAY MORNING AND WE NEED TO PACK THE PLACE!!!

What: Meeting - Cultural Heritage Commission
When: February 16th, 10:00AM Where: City Hall, Room 1010 (10th Floor) 200 N. Spring Street - but use Main Street entrance bring ID to pass through security
