Jay's Jayburger is already gone... and the clock continues to tick on the potential demise of West Hollywood's Irv's Burgers.
According to LACOMfidential, fans of the popular Santa Monica Boulevard shack have one more chance to save the iconic landmark from demolition:
Last fall, the news broke that the burger palace (Janis Joplin and Jimi Hendrix were regulars) would be torn down and replaced by a Peet's Coffee & Tea. Peet's corporate pulled out of the plans, but the property owner still wouldn't renew Irv's lease. Then everyone from the Los Angeles Times to the Washington Post waxed poetic about the stand, and the fight to save Irv's has been waging on. This coming Monday, June 27th, there will be a public hearing at 7pm at Plummer Park (7377 Santa Monica Blvd.) with the West Hollywood Planning Commission, the Preservation Commission, the owners of Irv's, and the Burger Brigade, an ad-hoc committee to save Irv's. Wipe the ketchup from your mouth and go show your support!
