While the ’90s may feel like they weren't that long ago, we should still consider the historical significance of the Viper Room and sites from the same era, according to Adrian Scott Fine of the Los Angeles Conservancy.
"They're not even talking about these places, or even thinking about them as being potentially historic because they do see them as being so new,” Fine said. “So we need to change that because we're going to lose a lot of places before we even start understanding how they fit into a larger context." Because the soon-to-be-demolished Viper Room lacks architectural significance, it will be “inherently more difficult to make the case” to protect the building, Fine said
Tommy Black, general manager of the Viper Room, says he's excited that the venue will get"a new lease on life" and become"bigger and better."What questions do you have about Southern California?
