After 75 years, the last race will be run at Hollywood Park this coming Sunday. Once the celebrity playground of Hollywood stars, who owned thoroughbreds and stock in the racetrack, it's slated to become a multi-billion dollar mixed use development in the heart of Inglewood. We hear a history of the track, talk to the developer and to Rick Famuyiwa, whose film The Wood is about Inglewood, his home town. Also, DJ's show foster kids and other teenagers how to get into the music business.

On our rebroadcast of today's To the Point, democratic Senator Harry Reid says, "Gridlock… is ending." But Republican Lindsay Graham says, "Even when we're functioning we're dysfunctional." We look at how Washington's first budget agreement in three years brought an end to paralysis—and how long that's likely to last.
