In less than three weeks, famed Laguna Beach, Calif., gay club the Boom Boom Room may shut its doors forever unless a buyer comes to its rescue.

The property's owner, Steven Udvar-Hazy, and the operators of the Boom Boom Room and the adjoining Coast Inn were apparently unable to reach an agreement to keep the bar, restaurant, and hotel open beyond the coming Labor Day weekend, according to an open letter from preservation group Save the Boom! Udvar-Hazy wants to demolish the property to make way for a larger hotel.

Save the Boom! is campaigning to find a buyer who will keep the 60-year-old establishment afloat. The group began its campaign in 2006, gathering 6,000 signatures in three months to preserve the gay institution. (The Advocate)
