Once again, another money making venture at the expense of a landmark. So sad. Nothing is sacred.
LOS ANGELES - Rumors that the Capitol Records tower, which looks like a stack of records and is one of the world's most recognizable buildings, could be sold to a developer who might convert it into condos has sparked concern among city leaders and preservationists.
They say the building where Capitol Records helped produce and distribute music for Frank Sinatra, the Beatles and many other musicians, is too much of an icon to be turned into housing.
Preservationists said they like the idea that music continues to be made inside the 13-story office tower and that it should not become just a landmark of the past.
"If they leave, it'll take something away from Hollywood," said Erin Bennett, a hostess at Hollywood and Vine, a restaurant named after the famed intersection close to the building. "It'll be an old building that used to be something."
Everyone went to Austin for SXSW leaving only a skeleton crew behind.
These are the adventures of a ragtag bunch of dedicated employees.
The forgotten. The abandoned. Those Left at Filter.
