<div>We are friends and fans of <strong>Nick Metropolis</strong>. Nick has been part of the soul of Los Angeles for over 35 years.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>You might know his store from its iconic signs, colorful letters, big metal dinosaurs, or retro phones and furniture... or simply from walking by and being drawn into a world of wonder and whimsy. Nick’s Hollywood Collectibles is more than a store—it’s a museum, a haven, a community hub. It’s a place where you can find everything from a vintage jukebox to a heartfelt pep talk from an older gentleman who truly cares.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Nick will be 80 years old this August. He has no savings and no place to go if his store closes. And now—after three months of struggling to pay rent during a brutal economic slowdown—he’s facing eviction.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div><strong>Unless Nick can raise $10,000 in the next 7 days, he’ll lose the store… and everything inside it. His life's collection.</strong>
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div><strong>Why this matters:</strong>
</div>
<div>• This store is Nick’s life. It’s his only income. He has nothing to fall back on and nowhere to move his massive collection.
</div>
<div>• He gives back—constantly. Every week, he distributes food to those in need. Every day, he gives away items to neighbors, artists, and new friends passing by.
</div>
<div>• He supports others. The workers he hires depend on him to feed their families. He treats them like family.
</div>
<div>• He uplifts everyone. For decades, Nick has poured love and confidence into thousands of people, helping them believe in themselves and their dreams.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div><strong>What you can do:</strong>
</div>
<div>• Donate if you can. Every dollar brings us closer to keeping this magical place open.
</div>
<div>• Share this link with friends, fans of old Hollywood, collectors, artists, and dreamers.
</div>
<div>• Tag us on social media with your memories or photos #SaveNickMetropolis #SaveNicksStore
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>If this store has ever made you smile, helped you find something special, or reminded you that the world is full of surprises… please consider donating.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>And if you can’t give, please share.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div><strong>Let’s keep the magic alive—together.</strong>
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div><strong>Help us save a piece of LA’s soul.</strong>
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>And remember Nick's message: <strong>NEVER EVER EVER GIVE UP!</strong>
</div>
