The Crenshaw district mainstay, Holiday Bowl, was recently boarded up as plans to develop the block this alley is situated on into a strip mall continue. However, according to a Los Angeles Times article, the Cultural Heritage Commission of the City of L.A. voted 3 to 2 to recommended the Bowl be designated a Historic-Cultural Monument.
Contact your city councilperson, as this recommendation still needs to go through a special committee, then a full council, before designation.
