You can also visit the forums that are posted on the development plan signs once the buildings are sold. You can influence what is put in it's place. Granted this doesn't help B&O but it helps slow the Condo Movement.

while i've only eaten at the b&o once i had to look up the address just to place where the building is on olive. i don't think anyone is going to give it landmark status. this whole "up in arms" mentality about insignificant buildings is starting to get boring. if, as a person living in the neighborhood, you feel so strongly about the building and the business, raise the money to buy the building and you can do with it what you want.

This has been going on for years and I'm not sure why the plans didn't go through when I started hearing about it in 2005.

I walked past the B&O yesterday, and I couldn't help but wonder if it's the business they are more interested in saving rather than the building - which is not particularly significant architecturally.
