L.A. News: Felix the Cat Sign Update

This seems like an excellent alternative to having the building and sign declared a cultural and historic monument, freezing future development plans for the dealership site at Jefferson and Figueroa in Los Angeles.

Here's a new photo I snapped of the Felix the Cat sign yesterday:


You can click to enlarge. It's slightly blurry as it was taken from a moving car.

That's USC's new Galen Center in the background behind the sign.
