They are actually trying to rebuild that stretch, but people are all but hurt over an abandoned recording studio having to be torn down to increase the right of way. Vote Yes on prop. 1.

Lest we forget the purpose of the Detroit show, the L.A. show, or almost any show: It's organized by car dealerships to get people to buy cars. The press is secondary to the customer. Only over time did it build up as a big to-do for cranky autojournos.

Holding and not wanting to get arrested and their probation/parole status looked into, sure. Actually on the drug at that time... more like…
Kareem! And, was that Mark Mothersbaugh? That was awesome.
This news explains the Detroit sinkhole...
No, all those businesses were sold off decades ago during Chrysler's previous financial crisis. It was a condition of the Carter administration's bailout, Chrysler got the money but had to sell their defense and aerospace units to protect them in case the corporation still collapsed.
