This week on Off-Ramp, Off-Ramp host John Rabe and city observer Sam Hall Kaplan talk with billionaire philanthropist Eli Broad about MOCA's 30th anniversary. John was the only one who wasn't there at the beginning.
Plus, the team that brought you "The Ashes of Oakridge" last January -- the in-depth look at the Sayre fire's destruction of the Oakridge Mobile Home Park -- goes back to the "Beverly Hills of Mobile Home Parks" to see how everyone's doing, a year after the fire.

NOTE FROM JOHN RABE: This week, we're looking forward with new LAPD Chief Beck, and back at the career of Bill Bratton. But we're also bringing you a special story from writer RH Greene. Before I interviewed him about his new "memoir" of Dracula, he told me he hoped we'd also let him tell the story of his late twin brother Tommy, who died before the book was published. It was too important to mix with the book interview, he said, and I agreed. We're proud to bring you Greene's commentary this week, and hope you'll check out his book reading on the 15th at Book Soup.
