Mel's Drive-In on Route 66 at risk

A property owner has filed plans to replace the historic 1959 Googie-style Mel’s Drive-In building in Santa Monica with an eight-story apartment complex. Preservation groups are advocating for a historic designation to protect the landmark, which marks the official end of Route 66. The Santa Monica Landmarks Commission will review the nomination in December, but the owner has indicated plans to pursue development regardless. The building remains open, and if designated as a landmark, it could be preserved despite the proposed redevelopment.
