Manhattan Giant Pizza and Kealani’s Hawaiian restaurant have both been in this building for more than 20 years.
The building recently sold and the tenants received a 30 day eviction notice.
From the Coast News,
Property records show that the building was owned by Encinitas residents Maurice and Constance Lund, who passed away within a month of each other in the spring.
Bralla-Martin said that the property passed down to the couple’s children, who recently sold the property. He said the rumor is that the new owner is planning on demolishing the structure to make way for a mixed-use development.
The Coast News attempted to contact the Lund children to confirm the property’s sale, but did not receive a call back before publication.
Opinion: Obviously the city must prevent the destruction of this historical building.
This council supports measure T - that means Tear this building down!
ReplyDeleteNot all old buildings should be saved. Not sure this one has anything special about it (unlike La Paloma). Are you just having a hard time with change?that is understandable.....
ReplyDeleteThis building was built within two years of the La Paloma and is actually quite interesting and cool. It just hasn't received the proper love and care it deserves. With the correct restoration this building would really stand out and be special.
DeleteChange can be positive unless it's constantly being jammed down your throat, then it becomes stressful and destabilizing. Like a new overpriced lifeguard tower that looks more like a prison tower, complete with armed guards. Yay Encinitas for becoming a developer's wet dream! Let's hear it for open air concentration camps! Oh by the way , there is another new business opening downtown, it's called "No We Are Not Sponsored by DHS or InfraGard". Show them your community policing ID and you get a $10 credit! Cheers and wake up :)
ReplyDeleteThe city council will drive the demolition tractors that eventually destroy this building. The old-town ambiance of Encinitas is fading, fadin, fadi, fad, fa, f,........---------------
