If you're like me, the impending demise of Norms Diner on La Cienega is unacceptable. So, I'm taking a note from a comment I saw in this sub and organizing the Diner Preservation Society! I hope to expand on it with a newsletter and monthly meet-ups at LA diners and everything, but for now, I'm organizing a meet-up at Norms this Wednesday, December 4th at 9am so anyone who wants to can join, discuss, commiserate, etc. Then the following day on Thursday, December 5th at 10am, we'll be going to the CHC hearing on Norms at LA City Hall to voice our concerns over the fate of the business/building.
I love the many diners of Southern California. They're part of what makes us unique as a region. Tourists come from other countries and specifically seek them out to experience the culture here. That's why I'm organizing this society, so that we can be prepared for the next inevitable onslaught on our cultural, culinary institutions. To keep yourself up to date, follow me on Instagram and TikTok @DinerTheory, or keep an eye out here for when I start up that newsletter!
