Justice for the Hall of Justice
Ten years after the Northridge earthquake -- and after several false starts -- it appears that reconstruction will finally begin this spring on the long-empty Hall of Justice.
LA Downtown News reports that the classical Italian-style building recently secured $144 million to finally be reconstructed.
The building -- which once held famed convicts such as Al Capone, Sirhan Sirhan and Charles Manson -- has been uninhabited since the 1994 quake. Eerily, the building has been virtually untouched since then: Calendars inside are still set at January 1994; Christmas gifts still sit inside, unopened and collecting dust. It's a grand old building, at least from the outside, and for now, at least, is the most famous of L.A.'s Ghost Towers.
