On May 5th the famous ferris wheel on Santa Monica pier was taken down and dismantled. A new one with 160,000 very colorful led lights has taken its place. Slowly but surely many landmarks are taken down and replaced. The Brown Derby for example - the famous restaraunt that was the 'talk of the town' for so long - said its goodbyes a few years ago. Both the Brown Derby and Santa Monica's Old Ferris Wheel were key landmarks in Los Angeles and were placed in many movies over the years. It is sad to see these famous things and places taken away from our city. Only the memories and film clips will remain!
