#WeHo #LionsLogCabin #AA #Landmark #BeverlyHills  WEST HOLLYWOOD (KABC) -- A fierce fight is underway to save a decades-old West Hollywood landmark. Supporters of the Lions Club Log Cabin on Robertson Boulevard have set up a  petition to save it on change.org , which reached the halfway mark for its goal of 5,000 signatures by Monday. The pushback came after the City of Beverly Hills, which owns the lot the cabin is on, announced plans to demolish it.

It eventually became home to the Lions Club and is now a meeting place for sobriety and recovery groups. Copyright © 2020 KABC-TV. All Rights Reserved.

Located at 7985 Santa Monica Blvd., at Laurel Avenue, the French Market Place building dates to 1936 when it opened as a grocery store. Howe...
