Update on La Cana Reopening Project

New owner Bobby Green talks about his plans for the restaurant, which closed in the 1980s.

Last month, Patch reported that long-shuttered La Cana Restaurant would soon be getting a face lift courtesy of Bobby Green and his 1933 Group.

The Vineland Avenue spot has been closed since the 1980s and Patch regularly gets emails from readers asking if anything would ever become of the old relic.

On Thursday, I got an email from Green about his plans for La Cana and this is what he had to say:

I'm very excited to get started on the La Cana restoration project, I have been working on it for the last 4-5 months but it's still in the Architect/Engineer phase and until we have definitive approved plans, I don't want to start any demo or construction due to the historic nature of the building.  So unfortunately I don't have an official start date for ya, but hopefully it will be in the next two months.

We'll keep you updated on the project.

Whatever happened to the old recluse lady who supposedly lived in it?

Denis, she died in 2009

Dear tbs, Deon Coles black box is the worst tv show ever. Though it is hosted by a black man, it'sRead More a show based on pointing fun and rude Racist jokes directed toward black people. If there was a white host it would be considered racist but because a black man was appointed to be host , you might have figured we wouldn't be offended but we are and I can't speak for all but I feel like resist jokes aren't ok regardless of who is telling them and I would like tbs to take down this show or atleast change the points in the show ! -signed, Kalil Stimpson

First of all, Bill, a funniest new comic in LA NOT being gay would be news. In addition, being aRead More comedian myself, I can tell you most gay comedians are not as bigoted as you suggest.
