Axe Posted March 11, 2018 Report Share Posted March 11, 2018 Yes, we were at Le Studio last October. They've had a fire but we met the owner (who couldn't have been more accommodating) and he told us about the rebuild plans and gave us the $2 tour Us out behind the studio by the lake The property in Flying Baron Estates is now a bus terminal of sorts I believe and I don't think there is any reference what so ever as to what transpired there anymore. They are trying to escape the notoriety and the traffic. Kinda like where Princess Diana died in Paris. We went past it 4-5 times before a driver told us exactly which column they hit.. No marking at all there.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
