Griffith Park Fire: May 8, 2007 (10:08 update)

Griffith Park is on fire, in case you didn't see the news all day. (Even some of your favorite shows were preempted on KTLA5.

One noticable City Nerd observation is the emotional distraught of the ever-passionate Councilman Tom LaBonge. He spoke multiple times about the loss of Dante's View, of which he once was deemed caretaker. There are years of trails and trees lost. More soon, but for now, remember all that Griffith Park had to offer.

Tomorrow will reveal how much more of the park will be lost - let's hope it's not too much more. (Let's hope it's not as bad as Griffith Park in 1933 or 1961.)
