Having been in Highland Park for a decade and change, I've wanted to produce a brochure that details these are the buildings you can tag. These are the buildings we humbly ask you to not tag.

Do we have to produce a slick foldout called "Stealing Copper from National Register Buildings: It's Also a Moral Crime!" Of course, I'm not altogether certain "David Gardner of Reno" would give it due consideration.

The Garfield (why isn't Beelman better known and respected?) http://articles.latimes.com/2010/aug...tobar-20100813 is LA's premier example of monumental Deco at its most elegant. It always unnerves people when we're walking from the Cicada club to the Seven Grand afterward, and I touch the Garfield and kiss my fingers. Yeah, it's basically a giant mezuzah.
