Welcome to the
COALITION FOR 10801
TENANT SAFETY & JUSTICE
After you get through this introduction, see the other news items on this side bar. Also, the “Related Links” (also found on this side bar – just scroll down), has a wealth of articles on this subject including several that cover our story.
HERE'S SOME BACKGROUND TO THIS STORY:
This blog was set up on Jan. 14, 2009 -- the day the building owners and Frank Rahban of 10801 National Blvd, L.A., CA 90064 (This is where I practiced from 1993 to 2009), World Wide Rush (Sign company), and Tropicana (Division of Pepsico, Inc.), put up a monstrous supergraphic (vinyl sign) that completely covered one side of the 6 story building.
10801takesigndown.blogspot.com was set up to be a centralized place to inform the tenants of the latest news concerning their safety and to find a way to have this sign removed as soon as possible.
FLASH - Approximately one month after starting this blog (Feb. 16, 2009), the owners found a way to have Dr. Allan removed from his office. See a short documentary by KCET that explain what happened by clicking here.
PROTEST AT FRANK RAHBAN'S HOME IS A HUGE SUCCESS. CLICK ON PICTURE TO LEARN MORE.

This blog was started to take a stand against Frank Rahban and the owners of 10801 -- for their unconscionable actions against myself and the tenants of 10801. How do you stand up against big business that serves up injustice? This blog is retribution against the unjust actions of big business – the pen in mightier than the sword.

I'm glad these huge signs are coming down. I don't want to see them. When I watch TV, I turn the channel when the commercials come on. When those building signs are so big, it's hard to just look away. Why do some people like having products forced down their throats with base advertising? Is that your idea of aesthetic beauty?
