About the Show

Over 11 years and 570 episodes, John Rabe and Team Off-Ramp scoured SoCal for the people, places, and ideas whose stories needed to be told, and the show became a love-letter to Los Angeles. Now, John is sharing selections from the Off-Ramp vault to help you explore this imperfect paradise.

Corporation for Public Broadcasting

For 20 years, the Los Angeles Police Department says the "Satellite House" on Drew Street served as a headquarters for a vicious clique of the Avenues Gang. Off-Ramp Contributor Jackson Musker went to the demolition of the house.
