Pickets and protests are more American than mom s apple pie, baseball, and Mexican restaurants combined. They allow us to use free speech to shape society.
That s why demonstrators spent Saturday supporting Lakewood s 52,000-square-foot Casa Bonita. They showed up to peacefully display their support for saving the 52,000-square-foot Mexican-themed restaurant so iconic the city of Lakewood preserved it as a historic landmark â a strange move for property embedded in a suburban strip mall. Save Casa Bonita! said demonstrators and passersby who honked and shouted support. Known for cliff divers, Black Bart s haunted Cave, a festival atmosphere, and faux cavernous eating nooks, Casa Bonita closed like most other restaurants to help slow the spread of COVID-19 in the spring of 2020. The bankrupt owners want to re-open, but the long-term future remains in limbo.
