...by the way there tiki shaker, I don't think Costa Mesa was that built out in the 1800's. Kona Lanes was probably not 'replacing something that was amazing from the 1800s'. I would bet that it might have been the first building on that spot in 1959 or whenever it was built (there was an amazing mosaic by the door that had the date in it, I think it was 1959)... I get your point though, and I am very much a proponent of capitalism, but I would think that someone who is into mid-century ANYTHING would do ANYTHING BUT support the constant destruction of these places of architectural and historical significance. Tikiyaki just made a very compelling argument with his paragraph and photo montage there.... or am I wrong and we REALLY need another Subway/ Kinkos/ dry cleaner/ liquor store mini mall? Fuck those jerks that took away my bowling ally and my karaoke bar.....Yeah, you heard me... my karaoke bar too..... I guess that vacant lot has been just as fun as the bowling ally was for the last four years...Thank you Costa Mesa city council and thank you Segerstrom family.... |
