The problem with bulldozing S.A. is that the L.A. arboretum is right across the street , that is why they say they cant build new barns because the old one's are all full of asbestos and that it would create a big mess for the enviroment. Del-Mar is in a flood plane so I dont know exactly what they think they can do with that property but who knows. I also heard that the Cali Fairs are in trouble as well , I would think the fairs would be a pretty big money generator for the state but I could be wrong.

l.a. conservancy has been working on this ever since magna marred the facade by installing the elevator shafts to frontrunner's. they're the big green boxes you see glued to the old facade.
besides the racing history, it was an internment camp during ww2.
i know it's a laugh to folks on the east coast and even more to those in europe but out here, that's historically significant architecture.
seriously.
