The Smell is a historic landmark where people from all ages and any background can come and unite for one passion, music. We need the smell to continue its journey for the sake of all musicians and music in general! save the smell!

The Smell is a venue that means a lot to me and it saddens me that it may get torn down.

To lose The Smell would be a great injustice to the underground community of greater Los Angeles and beyond. Like many signing this petition I visited the smell in my mid teens and was immediately exposed to an array of not only live music and performance but visual art as well, stimulating my mind in ways I'd never before experienced. The Smell was a revelation to me and opened my eyes and ears to the possibilities of limitless creation, free of judgement or oppression. I felt at home here, surrounded by likeminded concert goers, most of whom I'd see each time I went, and most of whom I became friends with quickly, a community you could call it. Though I haven't been in years The Smell still sits high in my mind, an uncompromising being in a sea of followers aiming for a hole that someone else created. The Smell created its own hole, please don't take that away.
