Unhappy Endings

The fight to keep the music playing at Highland Park concert/art venue The Church on York is over for the time being, with the venue being shut down by the City's Planning Department. "Citing the venue's "disregard for the law," associate zoning administrator Fernando Tovar wrote in his permit denial that many of the Church on York's concerts had been staged without obtaining proper documentation from the city. In total, Tovar wrote that only five special event permits had been granted for the site, all in 2013." [LA Times; previously]
