At the Surfing Heritage Museum Town Hall Meeting on Wednesday, March 25, 2009 many were not interested in seeing their open space replaced by a 30,000 square foot building no matter how cool its contents.<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>&#8220;For you surfers who didn&#8217;t want a freeway ruining your park in San Clemente, we don&#8217;t want a building ruining our park in Dana Point. We will support your surf museum, and you need to support open space,&#8221; McCabe said. . . Though the current plan met with much opposition at the meeting, some people supported the planned location. San Clemente resident <strong>Tom Morey<\/strong>, creator of the iconic Boogie Board, said Dana Point residents should trust their elected leaders, who should do all they can to put the museum in Dana Point.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>According to the <strong><a href=\"http:\/\/www.danapointtimes.com\/index.php?mact=News,cntnt01,detail,0&amp;cntnt01articleid=733&amp;cntnt01dateformat=%25B%20%25d%2C%20%25Y&amp;cntnt01returnid=51\" target=\"_blank\">Dana Point Times<\/a><\/strong>:<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>The location had previously been approved by the City Council as the home of a new library in 2002, but plans to build it fell apart after the proposed $18 million project was denied a state grant. When the Surfing Heritage Foundation approached the city in 2007 with the idea of building a museum they inherited the conceptual plans for the formerly approved 33,300 square foot library. \u201cInstead of books being there it\u2019s going to be surfboards,\u201d said foundation executive director <strong>Tom Pezman<\/strong>.&#8221;<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>We love the idea of the museum, and Dana Point is undoubtedly a perfect place for it, it&#8217;s just a tad ironic to see surfers fighting on the side of ripping out a park to put in a building.<\/p>\n<p><strong>[Link: <\/strong><strong><a href=\"http:\/\/www.ocregister.com\/articles\/museum-city-point-2347028-dana-location\" target=\"_blank\">OC Register<\/a><\/strong><strong> and <\/strong><strong><a href=\"http:\/\/www.danapointtimes.com\/index.php?mact=News,cntnt01,detail,0&amp;cntnt01articleid=733&amp;cntnt01dateformat=%25B%20%25d%2C%20%25Y&amp;cntnt01returnid=51\" target=\"_blank\">Dana Point Times<\/a><\/strong><strong>]<\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Surfing Heritage Foundation is apparently running into a little opposition in Dana Point, California as organizers push for the proposed $30 million project to be built in what the OC Register describes as a &#8220;sprawling, passive park along Pacific Coast Highway and Niguel Road.&#8221; It is the proposed park location that has locals a [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"ngg_post_thumbnail":0,"footnotes":""},"categories":[6],"tags":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.boardistan.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/6870"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.boardistan.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.boardistan.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.boardistan.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.boardistan.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=6870"}],"version-history":[{"count":4,"href":"https:\/\/www.boardistan.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/6870\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":6874,"href":"https:\/\/www.boardistan.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/6870\/revisions\/6874"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.boardistan.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=6870"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.boardistan.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=6870"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.boardistan.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=6870"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
