"We will fight for our 61 year old landmark and hope that Mr.
Udvar-Hazy will do the right thing and reopen these businesses. The
postcards are addressed to the Airplane Tycoon at his Los Angeles office
and ask him to help us by either reducing his asking price or consider
donating the building that he owns to the City of Laguna Beach or to a
newly created trust," said Karger. "He could donate the property and we
could keep it as a gay bar, hotel and restaurant and even include a gay and
lesbian community center in the historic building. We have an operator all
lined up if Mr. Udvar-Hazy is willing to do this. And If the building were
remodeled it could become the finest gay resort destination in the world
and become a huge money maker for its owner," said Karger.

"We are going to keep up our campaign to save our landmark bar for as
long as it takes," concluded Karger.
