The studio location at 2421 Stadium Road, is the same address today of the Sherwin Williams Paint Store. A photo of today will be added. In the 1971 phone book the studio address was here and again in 1975, the 50th Anniversary Year. In 1978, the studio had a new address, 2423 Stadium Road which would be in the back. Information provided by Harry Fitzner. Thanks Harry! A tornado spun off from Hurricane Rita and totally destroyed this location. I will add the photo after my honeymoon!

picture of the Rice Hotel as it is now, lofts

This was the Hotel Rice that everyone went to each summer for Dance Masters Of America Convention. I had heard that it was long gone to demolition but on a visit downtown even without seeing the sign I recognized the hotel and to my surprise it was still in existence. Today they are called "Post Rice Lofts Condominiums" The next time I go I am going to go inside and take pictures of the lobby and maybe the Grande Ballroom. Photo and comments submitted by: Harry Fitzner Thanks Harry!
