Famous Death Row Last Meals
Though the news clips on their website are no longer available, it seems that Surfas, the restaurant supply store in Culver City, Ca, will be closing as of November 1 this year. The City of Culver City has declared the property on which the store is located "Eminent Domain," and will be using it for a large re-development project. According to food blog Eating LA apparently, owner "Les Surfas, whose father opened the store in 1937, has refused to accept Culver City's offer of $4.89 million to buy the Surfas warehouse." Others are speculating that the store will not close,and will simply move to another location.

Times about Eminent Domain abuse, and this just seems to be another case in that bowl of problems. There are PLENTY of other places that the city can use for "redevelopment projects". I honestly hope can Surfas can relocate to a "safer" location. At this rate, there aren't going to be a lot of businesses around, just f-ing "luxury" condo's, and starbucks and mickey D's... meh. I'm saddened at this news.
