Many of you probably think that Son of Kelbo and myself are too involved in this Trader Vic's issue. Yes I have personal reasons for wanting to preserve Trader Vic's in Beverly Hills, but I wonder if any of you have read Mike Davis "City of Quartz"? If not I urge you to at least read the synopses on line so you can understand where I am coming from.
I was born in LA and the developers disregard that I grew up with continues to this day which I never would have believed. It seems that money and profit mean more than anything in this society and that is a sad fact. Culture,history,reverance or anything seems to come after profit. I think I am in some sort of bad movie.
So why should we care about a restaurant in Beverly Hills? Why shouldn't Benny be allowed to destroy Trader Vic's and put up his Waldorf? After all ,Its no different than what the Spanish did to the indians when they bult the missions,right? If not now when. Please read "City of Quartz"by Mike Davis and you will know why I want to rage aganst the machine. Come on ohana,lets start RSVPing for March 17, 2007 and do somethng.
