9/25/1969"Former Sentinel Staffer Heads Publicity Firm"Los Angeles SentinelA former reporter at the Los Angeles Sentinel is now a publicist with his own firm, Robert Sye and Associates, and offices at 9000 Sunset. In this article, Mr. Sye explains why he left journalism.
2/14/1978"Fuertes daños ocasionó en W. Hollywood [= Strong Damage Caused in W. Hollywood]"La OpiniónAn office building at 9000 Sunset, housing Burt Sugarman, Inc., burns down, with damages exceeding $300,000.
10/3/1995"New Look for Sunset Strip"Los Angeles TimesWest Hollywood’s “Sunset Specific Plan” will revitalize Sunset Boulevard by attracting entertainment businesses with zoning changes. This plan would allow developers to build higher/denser than normally allowed in exchange for setting aside land for plazas and terraces. Though successful places like House of Blues (8430 Sunset Boulevard) were part of Sunset’s recent “modest boom,” there has been a loss of “key businesses” such as Playboy Enterprises (8560 Sunset Boulevard) and Warner Chappell Music, Inc. (9000 Sunset Boulevard). The large tax revenue Sunset could provide to West Hollywood would allow the city to continue to fund its social service programs (like housing for AIDS patients or a Russian immigrant community center). The city wanted to “preserve an asset that has international significance.”
