I love to learn about history, however i suppose a single of the reasons why I became an architect is so I could preserve some of the buildings that meant a lot to myself and others when I was a kid, however there is a single entirely neat site in Beverly Hills that I helped restore a couple of weeks ago.
The bar & restaurant was around during the prohibition error! People were selling marijuana from The Beverly Hills bar & restaurant.
There were pictures inside of the site from the prohibition error. There were pictures of the wall of the bootleggers. They were selling moonshine, cigarettes, marijuana, & any other illegal substance that they could get their hands on. I thought it was pressing to the history of Beverly Hills to keep this building standing, when the project came up for review, I told the city commissioners what I thought the people I was with and I should do to restore the bar & restaurant. The Beverly Hills City Commissioner enjoyed all of our ideas. I found a business that was willing to commit to moving into the space. The marijuana dispensary was the perfect Beverly Hills business to put in the prohibition era bar & restaurant. The marijuana dispensary is only open during the day when tourists will be walking up & down the street. The shop only sells a couple of odd marijuana products & serves more as a kitschy tourist endpoint than a marijuana dispensary, then every one of us have minimal sales, & most of the relocale from the marijuana dispensary entirely comes from other Beverly Hills souvenirs love hats, buttons & pins.
