Hour 2 - Monks & Merrill, we’re joined by Bob Blue, co-founder and spokesperson for Angelenos for Historic Preservation, to unpack the growing controversy surrounding the potential demolition of the 1951 mid-century Barry Building.  We’ll explore whether the building is a landmark worth saving or a liability ready for the wrecking ball, and widen the lens to another heated land-use clash as Pasadena’s City Council prepares to weigh an appeal over Caltech’s proposed research facility next to St. Philip the Apostle Church — raising the question: is there room for compromise, or are both battles destined to divide the community?
