Dear WeHo: ‘How Do We Know This Won’t Be Another French Quarter?’

Dear Mayor & City Council,

The French Quarter Restaurant & Marketplace is where I had my first cup of coffee in WeHo and where I celebrated my 65th birthday. Now it’s reduced to an eyesore — even after a ground breaking years ago it’s nothing but blight! So sad to see and there’s more. This is why I strongly support Item #F3, as this same Developer is planning a project on the eastside of town near Whole Foods and The Fountain Day School. How do we know that this won’t be another project like my beloved French Quarter??

Please vote in favor of Item #F3, and help restore the beauty to our WeHo by preventing more blight!

Respectfully submitted,

Yola Dore’
30+ year disAbled resident

Faring has blown whatever support they had amongst this community. So many failed projects..and they have all left us with urban blight.

This council has little regard to any community history. They are in bed with developers and couldn’t care less of what our community was founded for. Faring Capital is a disgrace to the community

It’s sad that the younger generation won’t know what it was like to hang out at the French Market, which was like a gay “Cheers” bar, where everybody knew your name–or at least had a one-nighter with you at one time or another. Yes, it was like “Melrose Place,” too.

The long counter and the white railings and faux plants everywhere, and the whole cruise factor–it was an oasis set in the heart of the utopia that was West Hollywood not so long ago.
