Los Angeles magazine's Chris Nichols reports that the building that housed a See's Candy Shop on Western Ave near Melrose--a building the city deemed historic in June, and a move that dashed a developer's plan to turn the project into a strip mall--may be restored. And look who may return as a tenant: "This week, owners, architect, neighbors and See’s Vice President Richard Van Doren had a meeting at the site to discuss See’s as a potential tenant in a restored See’s building. The St. Andrews Square neighborhood group has been leading the charge to bring candy back into their neighborhood." Pictured, courtesy of LAmag.com, is a rendering of the proposed restored building. Mary See (also pictured), opened the first store eighty years ago with her son, Charles A. See.
