Historic Sites and Museums need your help.
Throughout the country, important historic sites, homes, buildings, and museums are in trouble. Because of the recent rise in gasoline prices and the general world-wide financial collapse, historic sites and museums are in danger of closing. Some are being forced to sell off artifacts and property. Most operate on a thin margin and will not weather these hard times without your help.
Places Earth urges everyone to support these vital and important public resources any way you can. Please find a worthy local or distant historic site or museum that is in financial danger and donate your treasure, time, and talent.

While not significant architecture in the eyes of some, this type of Goggies architectural was once quite common, but sadly, most is now gone. Johnie's Coffee Shop Restaurant sits on the northwest corner of Wilshire and Fairfax near Miracle Mile. Built in 1955 by architects Armet & Davis as Romeo's Times Square restaurant. Now closed (since2000), it is often used as a filming location. Now owned by 99 Cent Only stores, Los Angeles Conservancy is working for its preservation. Location: 6101 Wilshire Boulevard, Los Angeles, CA 90048
