"I learned that West Hollywood approved an 11-story mixed-use development above the current Viper Room on the Sunset Strip that will demolish the longtime music venue; the project includes a 90-room hotel, 78 housing units (including 16 affordable-rate units) and 28,000 square feet of restaurant, cafe and bar areas, with a nearly 7,000-square-foot footprint where the Viper Room may reopen — the venue was co-owned by Johnny Depp and Sal Jenco in the ’90s and long served as a hangout for upstart punk, metal and alt-rock bands and was notorious for drug-related incidents." - Matthew Kang
