With its floor-to-ceiling windows, striking marble exterior and seemingly endless displays of fine imported crystal, Robinsons stood at the entrance to Beverly Hills for years as a symbol of elegance.

But on Wednesday, the once-grand department store was missing its bold, blocky R. Chunks of concrete and curled metal hung limply off the cracked side of the dilapidated building.

More than 62 years after the stores 1,100-space parking lot first welcomed shoppers into four spacious levels, Robinsons-May is finally being demolished.

Its sad. None of us know whats going to be there, said Dorothy Salkin, 78, a longtime Westwood resident who shopped at Robinsons countless times. It was the most beautiful store Ive ever seen. Not like any other.

Although it sits on one of the most desirable pieces of real estate in the country, the building has been unoccupied for nearly a decade. Its demolition has loomed since the property went back on the market this spring. It has yet to be sold.

The city of Beverly Hills issued a demolition permit to BH Wilshire International on June 26, a city spokeswoman said. The developer agreed to demolish the store during the summer when a nearby school was out of session. The work must be completed before school resumes.

The property has gone through multiple owners in recent years. Laurie Lustig-Bower, a broker with CBRE Group Inc., which is marketing the property, said she expects the current owner to sell it within the next couple months.

Previous owners had secured approvals to build a 235-unit condominium complex designed by Getty Center architect Richard Meier on the eight-acre space.

On the one hand, its a department store thats no longer there, Lustig-Bower said. But now its an opportunity for someone to have a beautiful place to live. The time has come for it to be developed and enjoyed by people again.

In recent years, the propertys various owners have been unable to find lenders willing to fund the project.

MCCRACKEN COUNTY, KY (KFVS) -

A contractor for the Kentucky Transportation Cabinet has finished saw cutting of decking on the three main spans of the Old Ledbetter Bridge.

On Wednesday morning, July 23, a crew started some initial demolition work that included jack-hammering along the end of the main span nearest the McCracken County side of the Tennessee River.

The contractor plans to finish the initial dismantling of concrete along the end of the span by hand. Once the crew loosens the concrete decking along the edge, the contractor plans to start using mechanized equipment to take out the concrete decking. The crew will be working from west to east along the bridge.

The contractor submitted plans for the demolition to the U.S. Coast Guard for approval several weeks ago. The Coast Guard has indicated it would take about 30 days to fully review the plan.

Once the plan is approved, the contractor will be able to provide a timetable for the ongoing demolition work through the summer. The contractor said the safety of the workers, the public and river traffic will be the top priority throughout the demolition process.

Also known as the George Rogers Clark Memorial Bridge, the Old Ledbetter Bridge was opened to traffic in 1931. The Kentucky Transportation Cabinet has issued a $5.6 million demolition contract that requires the old bridge to be removed by December 1 of this year.

The Old Ledbetter Bridge has been closed since July of 2013, when traffic was moved to the new U.S. 60 Tennessee River Bridge just upstream.

At the end of April a section of the west approach on the Old Ledbetter Bridge dropped several feet due to land movement along the bluff on the McCracken County side of the river.

Due to the continued land slippage along the bluff, one land-based approach pier and two approach spans at the west end of the bridge collapsed in the early morning hours of June 22, prompting engineers to expedite demolition of the structure.

On Saturday night (July 23), nearly 6,000 people gathered to watch music from Justin Bieber and Miley Cyrus get blown to smithereens. Minor league baseball team the Charleston RiverDogs hosted "Disco Demolition II: You Better Belieb It," a sequel to the Chicago White Sox's 1979 "Disco Demolition" in which a boom box full of Bieber and Cyrus music and memorabilia was destroyed in an on-field explosion following the RiverDogs' match against the Augusta GreenJackets, to a chorus of cheers.

"Disco Demolition II" was not an anti-pop demonstration, according to RiverDogs Executive VP/General Manager Dave Echols, but a way of lightly teasing two of the biggest artists in the genre today. "This wasn't a version of book-burning," he tells Billboard. "It was simply us poking fun at two popular performers right now."

In 1979, the White Sox hosted a "Disco Demolition" night in which a crate filled with disco records was demolished on the major league in between a doubleheader between the White Sox and the Detroit Tigers. Conceived by White Sox owner Bill Veeck and his son, team promotions director Mike Veeck, the original "Disco Demolition" was a disaster -- the field was damaged by the explosion, fans rushed the playing grounds, and the second game of the doubleheader was forfeited by the White Sox.

Thirty-five years later, Mike Veeck is now president of the Charleston RiverDogs, and the idea for "Disco Demolition II" germinated as a way to look back on his infamous marketing ploy in an anniversary year. "We were trying to spoof a promotion that our president got fired over 35 years ago, and put a fun RiverDogs twist on it," says Echols. "We kicked around, 'What can we do? How can we spoof it?' We decided to have our own version of Disco Demolition, in which we weren't blowing up disco albums, but we tried to simulate that as best we could."

Conceived at the top of 2014, "Disco Demolition II" allowed fans who brought merchandise to the game to receive a $1 ticket. So why were Bieber and Cyrus the specific targets, and not a genre of music as a whole? "I think the easiest answer would be that they were front and center, and getting the most attention, when we were having our promotional brainstorming staff session," Echols explains.

Bieber and Cyrus obviously have a lot of fans, but so do Beyonce and Bruno Mars. The reason the former two were singled out for "Disco Demoliton II," clarifies Echols, is because they're the most polarizing popular artists making music today -- for every Belieber and Smiler, there is someone put off by Bieber's run-ins with the law and Cyrus' unabashed sexuality.

"There's a lot of popularity for those two, but there are plenty of people who don't like their music, and don't care for their personalities or how they're handling their fame or their performing," says Echols. "When you have that drastic of a reaction, both pro and con, and they're two of the most popular performers out there, it made it an easy choice for the staff to come up with."

That controversy turned into a promotional home run for the RiverDogs, whose "Disco Demolition II" resulted in a sold-out home game and national media attention, without the on-field riot that marked the original "Disco Demolition." The negative outcries of Bieber and Cyrus fans were a symptom of the ceremonial explosion, says Echols, but the RiverDogs have no regrets, and consider the stunt a huge success.

"When you're a minor league baseball team, you're trying for awareness, attention, to your brand, and to the unique aspects of what you're doing," he says. "We heard from both sides, if you check our social media. We had fans that didn't like what we were doing, and we had fans that couldn't wait to be there. The end result is that we're doing things and trying to have fun while there's a minor league baseball game going on."

Like father, like son.

Mike Veeck, son of famed baseball owner and promotion whiz Bill Veeck, will take a page out of his dad's book by holding Disco Demolition Night 2: You Better Belieb It at the home stadium of the Charleston RiverDogs, a farm club to the New York Yankees, on this Saturday, July 19.

The event will allow any fan who turns up with a Justin Bieber or Miley Cyrus album or merchandise to pay a $1 admission price, then will demolish the records after the game in Charleston, South Carolina's Riley Park.

The senior Veeck, then the owner of the Chicago White Sox, infamously held his own Disco Demolition on July 12, 1979, in which 40,000 rock fans turned up at Comiskey Park with disco records, forcing the team to forfeit the second game of a doubleheader due to damage to the field.

"Like so many, we have taken special exception to Justin Bieber and Miley Cyrus's music along with his numerous run-ins with the law and her controversial performances," said RiverDogs General Manager Dave Echols. "Disco Demolition 2 is dedicated to the eradication of their dread musical disease, like the original Disco Demolition attempted to do. We are going to take Bieber and Cyrus's merchandise and memorabilia, put it in a giant box and blow it to smithereens. It is all in good fun, and we guarantee there won't be a forfeit of a game."

The first 1,000 fans to arrive will also be given a bobble-leg yes, you read that correctly in honor of Bill Veeck, the former Indians and White Sox owner who lost a leg in an artillery accident during World War II, a condition he often joked about.

"It's the 100th anniversary of his birth," Mike Veeck told the Post and Courier. "Fun guy. And we always need a little bit of fun and levity. Everything just lined up this week."

Here's some footage from the original Disco Demolition night, hosted by local DJ Steve Dahl at Chicago's ComiskeyPark.
