Some Preservation News from December.
1. How come there has been so little historic preservation in California's San Fernando Valley?
One explanation is that the valley was mostly built-up in the post-WWII boom and these sites are just now becoming eligible for historic preservation status.
Valley residents are just-now becoming aware of the historical and cultural monuments that they have.
One place already lost forever is Clark Gable's Encino Ranch which was never designated a historical site and now has been built over.
2. According to the National Trust for Historic Preservation, New York City has now replaced Chicago as Tear-Down Capital.
RoadDog's RoadLog Blog: Being my travels down those great two lane highways of this nation as well as news I learn about them from media sources. Since I'm also very interested in historic preservation, there will be a lot of that as well.
The Shamrock Court Motel in Sullivan, Missouri. It can be yours for $125,000. Lots of possibilities. Actually, now you're too late. Missouri's Roamin' Rich bought it.
