One of the owners of Amoeba Music complained that the push to preserve its distinctive art “threatens the very existence of the business it is claiming to hope to preserve.”
Amoeba Music complained this week that the push to preserve its distinctive art “threatens the very existence of the business it is claiming to hope to preserve.”
Henderson said that when Amoeba sold its Hollywood building four years ago, it did so in order to survive as a retailer. Its goal, he said, was to relocate to a new space that would be more affordable.Instead, Henderson said the public push to stop the new development and protect neon art on the site — launched last month by AIDS Healthcare Foundation and the Coalition to Preserve L.A.
In addition, Henderson said he was worried that enshrining the neon art as part of a historic monument could make it harder to relocate that art to a new location. He urged the Coalition to Preserve L.A. to “back away from this effort so that we may continue to be a vital part of the very community it claims to wish to sustain.”
“We are fighting for the integrity of our community and to preserve what makes it interesting, whereas it seems many others are just trying to cash out and milk it for everything it is worth,” Weinstein said after noting that Amoeba had sold its building for $34 million.
