OBITUARY & MORE INFO

above, last listing in the TWT Guide, which was odd....
they usually kept good track of when bars opened and
closed, but Studio 13 continued to run ads (just a few)
and was mentioned (in Hot Tea) at late as 7/23/93

1992

1993

Above from 1993 Pride Parade, Women's Action Coalition group
"Out 'N Proud" was theme that year

when did it close?

Usually I can tell when a bar closes by when
TWT stops listing them in the Guide section,
but not this time....
not sure if the space was empty, if a straight
club was there, or what...

1996

Rascals opened September 1996,
