Neverland neighbors form group to prevent tourism

LOS ANGELES (Winston-Salem Journal) - Neighbors of Neverland are organizing against any move to turn Michael Jackson's former home into a tourist destination that could disturb the area's rural tranquility.

Residents of the rural Santa Ynez Valley announced a new group yesterday called "Never!"

It is backed by area community organizations that want to head off any attempts to convert the Neverland ranch in remote Los Olivos into a commercial venue, spokesman Bob Field said.
