Tom Slick,
You said it...its frustrating to see mid-century design being slowly obliterated. The LA Conservancy actually has a mid-century preservation committe that holds meetings in historic mid-century locations throughout the valley and also has some exciting events held at those locations! It seems to me that mid-century era is simply too young for most people to think of it as historic and worth saving. My grandparents still have 50's era wood paneling on their living room walls. For years they talked about pulling if off and redoing the walls. Now, everyone in the family loves it because it is vintage looking and very rare to see these days.
