I wish I would have been able to say Hi to more people, but my time there last night was limited. Happy Birthday Soccer...I saw you out of the corner of my eye and it looked like you were all having fun in the crowded booth area! On another note, I received an email from the voting, and it sounds kind of like a blow off, but at least they responded and confirmed my email was read: Return-Path: Received: from rly-mb01.mail.aol.com (rly-mb01.mail.axx.com [172.20.118.137]) by air-mb02.mail.axx.com (v114_r3.4) with ESMTP id MAILINMB21-bf45fac13d1ce; Fri, 16 Mar 2007 12:09:56 -0400 Received: from snitch.cbh-lan1 (mailer.beverlyhills.org [12.164.240.193]) by rly-mb01.mail.axx.com (v114_r3.4) with ESMTP id MAILRELAYINMB11-bf45fac13d1ce; Fri, 16 Mar 2007 12:09:34 -0400 Dear Tom, Your email has been shared with the City Council.

We've lost enough mid-century architecture due to "progress", and what do we have left to show for it? Are Johnny Rockets restaurants & the "New" Bob's Big Boy's chain going to represent mid-century Americana for our children and children's children? We, as a society, have very little left from a historical standpoint, and Trader Vic's of Beverly Hills sure has carried it's own history. Everyone from Frank Sinatra to Ozzy Osbourne has eaten & or drank at this fine establishment. Please allow me to say, let's not allow the demolition of such a treasure. Please consider supporting the movement to save Trader Vic's, because sometimes things are worth more saving, than trying to make a little more revenue, and Trader Vic's is the last priceless & successful mid-century restaurant/business in Beverly Hills. Sincerely, Tom Pearson Redondo Beach, CA Now maybe if they recieve enough votes WITH a paragraph of your own words why it isn't a good idea to level TVBH to make room for two high tower luxury condominiums they might actually listen. Traffic impacts, parking, and noise from the added residence area all critical and valid avenues of writing the council. Also believe it or not, crime could "potentially" rise, as in any other city. The more you have people living on top of each other, the less patience those confined people have. It's been scientifically proven in laboratory rat experiments where they have two identical cages, one holding 5 rats and another holding 15 rats. Anyhow,I'm sure you can draw the conclusion from there. There is still alot fighting left to do, and it's not over until TV is a pile of rubble(god forbid), so keep to your guns on this one. If nothing else, we will have gained knowledge and shared the experience on how to "try" to save places of interest. It's a learning curve folks!, and something gained is better than nothing.

Hello,
Please, let us not lose another architectural landmark. We've lost enough mid-century architecture due to "progress", and what do we have left to show for it? Are Johnny Rockets restaurants & the "New" Bob's Big Boy's chain going to represent mid-century Americana for our children and children's children? We, as a society, have very little left from a historical standpoint, and Trader Vic's of Beverly Hills sure has carried it's own history. Everyone from Frank Sinatra to Ozzy Osbourne has eaten & or drank at this fine establishment. Please allow me to say, let's not allow the demolition of such a treasure. Please consider supporting the movement to save Trader Vic's, because sometimes things are worth more saving, than trying to make a little more revenue, and Trader Vic's is the last priceless & successful mid-century restaurant/business in Beverly Hills.
