TomSlick, Of course starting at the top is better, but it's a bridge to nowhere, as the land owner bought the land to knock it down and put up condos. No point in speaking to him.

Well if this is truly the case, there is no fight to pick in support for Kona, as its demise is inevitable. The land owner supercedes any leasees. But I'll go ahead and send an email in support to save Kona-Sam's to the email address you posted. I'll admit, I really don't understand how this is going to help or change the dire situation Kona a.k.a. Sam's Seafood seems to be in again.

Jim, You also state in an earlier comment that,

"They've been ordered to vacate, so who knows."

Who has ordered Kona to vacate?
If they have been ordered to vacate, either they are not making rent, or the lease is up, and the property owners do not wish to renegotiate another lease. Either way, it sounds like another going away party should be had, and soon.

One last question...Would this and could this be a location to get marked as a historic landmark? What about getting MODCOM involved, or at least alert them to this situation and see what(if any) options are available to preserve the building and site. Their next meeting is TUESDAY, January 20th at 7:00 p.m. @ the newly restored Hollywood Palladium 6215 W. Sunset Blvd. Hollywood, CA 90028

I know Chris Nichols is a walking library of information regarding these types of situations, and he happens to be a T.C. member. Any advice, Chris?
