Bearing
trademark blue windows of Motown, said to keep out devils
in an African mythology, the Motown headquarters have steadily
decayed since Motown left Detroit for Los Angeles.

Motown
Growing
from a string of gold and platinum hits, Gordy expanded his
operations to 2457 Woodward, just north of the Fox Theater,
in 1968.
In
1972 he abandoned Detroit for Los Angeles. The Motown
Buildings, as they are now known, have sat empty ever since.
With
the revival of the Fox Town area and the Woodward corridor,
developers recently presented plans to create a large Motown
theme district incorporating the Motown buildings
