Oh, I'm sorry, I thought it was public knowledge, my apologies :wink:
They got bought by Venice Hospital. VH turned them in to a sort of medical/outpatient program. One of those drug dependency type programs that most insurance will only cover for 30 days at the most?
It ran like that for I think 4-6 months, maybe a bit more, then VH realized they could just do it better if they kept it at their own facility on the Island, and shut it down.
If I remember right, the reason they bought LIFE to do it was so that they could use the name(in Venice, at that time, you'd find that LIFE was actually a pretty popular place) and I think they even kept a few of the executive staff on..
I don't know all the minute details or the maneuverings behind the scenes and such, but that's why LIFE as we knew it shut down, and then eventually why the building became a consignment shop :wink:
