Save Mariachi Plaza Coalition

The burned out remains of the 115-year-old Deutsche (German) Hospital. The building was currently in escrow for the developer East Los Angeles Community Corpora...tion. After the previous owners and developers failed to get support to demolish the building and build a KIPP Charter School in its place, the building had been neglected and unguarded, leaving it exposed to become a demolition by neglect of a historic building that was eligible for historic preservation. It is been set on fire about half a dozen times in the past two years. Flames ultimately rose through the roof of the building the other night in the worst of the fires, to date, and now for the first time we can see the sky when looking in through the round burnt-out skylight window in front of this charming old hospital. Considering what was accomplished in saving the historic Santa Fe Coastline Hospital, a.k.a. the Linda Vista Hospital as low income housing for senior citizens, it is a total shame that they have not attempted to likewise historically preserve and repurpose this building.

Muchas Felicidades al consejal Kevin De Leon, ¡Gracias por invitar a los mariachis de OMICAL! Congratulations to Councilor Kevin De Leon, Thank you for inviting the mariachis from OMICAL!

Why is this project so concerning? Metro is allowing Elacc the encroachment of 14,150sq on the plaza. It is one-third of Mariachi Plaza, and it will limit or eliminate our ability to hold community events with the Mariachis. ¿Por qué este proyecto es tan preocupante? Metro está permitiendo a Elacc la invasión de 14,150sq en la plaza.... Es un tercio de Mariachi Plaza, y limitará o eliminará nuestra capacidad de realizar eventos comunitarios con los Mariachis. #SaveMariachiPlaza #ProtectMariachiPlaza #MariachiPlazaIsForMariachis #SalvemosMariachiPlaza #MariachiPlazaEsParaMariachis
