| The Original Pantry Cafe in downtown L.A., which is NOT closing but is owned by former mayor Richard Riordan. |
Pacific Palisades Patch has the details: Although Riordan negotiated a rent reduction with the landlords approximately 18 months ago, it wasn't enough to keep the restaurants in business. In recent years, Swarthmore has seen frequent turnover among its storefronts, worrying city councilman Bill Rosendahl, who represents the area.
As Patch notes:
"Many residents, like their councilman Rosendahl, are concerned that Swarthmore could go the way of Hancock Park's Larchmont Boulevard, which went from being a street of distinctive local shops, specialty groceries and service businesses to a district of chain stores and restaurants."
