    Built in 1967, the Parasol with its white dome roof and pink spines, is a hybrid of architectural styles that flourished in post-war Southern California.  The restaurant is also an important gathering place, patrons say.  Generations have dined and worked at the restaurant.

    News that the restaurant might be demolished spurred thousands of residents to sign a petition calling for its protection.  The city hired a consultant to determine the building's historic value.  Their preservation effort is ongoing.  Visit their website, and sign the petition at:
