Save Hollywood Park

[hi_im_god]

the best hope for hollywood park is a continued poor economy for commercial developers. it's hard to imagine the owners moving forward with redevelopement in the near term.

while i have many fond memories of the old hollywood park (a $15 seat near the finish line for the 1st breeders cup tops that list) the physical plant was allowed to deteriorate once churchill took over and it's not anything close to a nice experience visiting anymore.

my niece told me she and her husband decided they want me to take them to the track (they've never been) and I told them i wished they had mentioned it before the end of the santa anita meet. i have no intention of letting their 1st experience be the disgusting hole hollywood has become.

if the socal circut needs to shrink significantly, this track should be the one to go.
