  PRESS TELEGRAM ARTICLE
  ok. the news we've all been waiting for is here, and it is absolutely ridiculous. As we all know, a slap on the wrist. This is our beloved justice system at work. Money rules this country, and its evident here yet again. how about making sure Mr. Yanik is never allowed to do business here in downey ever again, or for that matter that Mr. Smyrniotis, is not allowed to do business here in downey. We don't need any more careless businesses looking to rape and profit from our community. DON'T GIVE UP... THIS IS NOT OVER YET.

  The Friends of Johnie's in coordination with the Modern Commitee, support of local Southland car clubs, and outraged citizens will be staging a "Cruise in" at  Johnie's Broiler on Sunday Jan 14th from 3:30- 5:30 p.m.- the exact time the illegal demolition occurred.  We will be asking those with classic cars to cruise  around the block, and ask that people bring symbolic momentos to hang on the chain-link fence such as yellow ribbons, hanging signs, car club logos, message to Johnie's
  "Restore Johnie's" messages to the city: " Justice for Johnie's" etc..-- whatever inspires you!
  
  Your presence is important- let's continue to show the city we are outraged by this desecration and we want justice and we want Johnie's! Please, spread the word- let's continue to show our collective outrage and that this is not a forgotten issue that will simple fade away from our memories.

  Thanks to everyone that came to the City Council meeting last night. What an amazing turnout and show of community support. The room was packed with people; standing room only! Truly touching and inspiring stories and comments from everyone. The only right thing to do now would be to build the Broiler back to its original beauty and to make sure that this NEVER happens again to any other American landmarks. We don't need to be going through this in another 50 years. Lets protect history and build on its foundation, not demolish it. Please stay tuned for a proper website here where we will all be able to discuss news, stories and ideas about our community. thanks everyone!
