Join us this week as we talk with George Redfox, president of the Downey Conservancy, about the white-knuckle preservation saga of Downey’s legendary Harvey’s Broiler, a core site in Southern California’s cruising culture, illegally demolished and rebuilt to original plans as a Bob’s Big Boy. We’ll also visit with Ken Pratt, Director of Union Station Property Management, to learn about a typical day in his life managing the beloved and iconic Downtown Los Angeles transportation hub.

We’ll also discuss the ongoing fiasco at CIM Group’s illegally constructed Sunset/Gordon apartment tower, the sad closure of Angels Knoll park, a shout out to the restored barrel-shaped Idle Hour in North Hollywood and the thrilling news that downtown’s long-derelict Bank of Italy will be restored. All this and more as Kim & Richard usher in the week of April 20th, 2015
