Save the Hollywood Star Lanes
The Hollywood Star Lanes is a family-owned and operated bowling facility in Hollywood, California that has been in business since 1962.
Now the Star Lanes is threatened by the Los Angeles Unified School District (LAUSD) as they want to destroy the Star Lanes and put up an elementary school in its place.
A simple look around that stretch of Santa Monica Blvd. would let any reasonable person know that this is not a good site for an elementary school.
The neighborhood is a gang warzone; There would be a major freeway running right next door (101) and the crossing guards would most likely be transsexual hookers.
In addition to its reasonable rates and 24-hour bowling, the Star Lanes has been the setting for some of Hollywood's greatest movies about bowling, including Kingpin and The Big Lebowski.
The Hollywood Star Lanes is an amazing little slice of Hollywood's history. It's a fantastic place to unwind and have some fun, where celebrities rub elbows with locals and everyone wears rented shoes.
The face of Hollywood is changing rapidly, and it seems that when confronted by the obvious need for better school facilities, people may be losing sight of the importance of local landmarks like the Hollywood Star Lanes which are the cornerstones of the community.
Please sign this petition and help spread the word that there are more suitable sites for an elementary school and that the Hollywood Star Lanes is an important place to many Los Angeles residents.

| 3,301 | 5:06 am PDT, Jul 19 | Mr. | Million Figuera | Glendale | California | United States | owner-.com travel agency | To simply answer your question....HELL NO..!!! First off i'd like to let you know that i grew up around this area just so you know, that i know what i'm talking about when it comes to this place...seriously, anyone familiar with the area, (sarcasm aside)knows that the koreatown and hollywood areas have made alot of changes for the better,especially after the riots...but having the area rebuilt,cleaned up and made more pleasing to the eyes of the thousands of passer-by's every day, shouldn't make any area small-business owners let alone the person/persons in charge of this area of the school districts and the council members who will give the final decision to this matter be irresponsible and and ignorant to what goes on in this area of l.a. , especially being on that end of the infamous santa monica blvd. facts like the area being gang infested,freeways never not busy,should be enough to shake off the idea of building a school there...don't forget the area drug-dealers, petifiles, and young gang recruits that prawl this specific street of santa monica...i can go on and on about all the reasons "NOT" to build a school in that area but i don't think too much of my say will make a difference here but why not just expand and renovate in all ways better the schools already in the area..???Cahuenga on Hobart still has bungalos and just from seeing how many kids are present come 3pm, it looks way over-crowded..and let's not forget Virgil...make it bigger,and renovate the damn place or atleast make it look like a place of education and not leave it looking the way it looked 15 years ago when i attented...and whatever happened to the Belmont cleaning up project on Temple & Beaudry near Downtown...Blah-Blah-Blah right...???anyway,this was supposed to be short and straight to the point but i do hope the plans for a school there don't go through not only because bowling star lanes bring the good-times and good memories but mainly for the kids sake...all in all i hope many don't get me wrong in all i've said because L.A. is home for me...i love L.A. ...but like all locals who roam this concrete jungle know that there's certain areas where you should keep your guard-up and be aware of your surroundings,and just the idea of someone even just thinking of building a school there,really made me feel sorry the kids who will be corrupt merely just being everyday exposed to such an area...all we can do is layout more facts to be brought up,and not give up hope i guess...anyway, StarLanes should make T-shirts in trade for a small donation and a signature for petition...contact me if i can help in designing one if you do decide on going with the idea, i'd love to...everything done will hopefully make a difference...sorry so long a comment.. |

Save the Hollywood Star Lanes
The Hollywood Star Lanes is a family-owned and operated bowling facility in Hollywood, California that has been in business since 1962.
Now the Star Lanes is threatened by the Los Angeles Unified School District (LAUSD) as they want to destroy the Star Lanes and put up a high school in its place.
A simple look around that stretch of Santa Monica Blvd. would let any reasonable person know that this is not a good site for a high school.
The neighborhood is a gang warzone; There would be a major freeway running right next door (101) and the crossing guards would most likely be transsexual hookers.
In addition to its reasonable rates and 24-hour bowling, the Star Lanes has been the setting for some of Hollywood's greatest movies about bowling, including Kingpin and The Big Lebowski.
The Hollywood Star Lanes is an amazing little slice of Hollywood's history. It's a fantastic place to unwind and have some fun, where celebrities rub elbows with locals and everyone wears rented shoes.
Please sign this petition and tell the LAUSD to find some other way to endanger our children.
