Mad Men Given Preservation Award by Los Angeles Conservancy

The Los Angeles Conservancy has announced the winners of their annual Preservation Awards, given to those who have helped protect or restore great pieces of architecture throughout Southern California. While the list of recipients is interesting and it’s terrific to see dedicated preservationists being congratulated, one particular winner sticks out: Mad Men winning the Media Award. Isn’t it set in New York, you ask? The arch-nemesis of Los Angeles? Well yes, but you see, not all filmed entertainment is produced where the action takes place (for reference, see: everything shot in the last 75 years).
