Does anyone know whatever became of Studio 54 in Manhattan? 
Unfortunately, my family moved from Brooklyn, NY to the
South FL region in late '76.  As a young teenager, at that
time, I never got to experience the so-called 'night life' @
Studio 54.  Just curious whatever became of this
establishment and also, what it was like back in the
glorious disco era.

I think a movie was made about Studio 54.  You may want to
check online (Google.com) and see what the outcome of the
club was.  I'm from Brooklyn, NY but no longer reside there.
 I never went to Studio 54, (to young at the time) but I
remember hearing about it when I lived in NY.

The original Studio 54 closed around 1980-81. My then
14-year old catholic-school-girl sister snuck in to the
place one night with her rotten friends. A lot of kids were
doing this then, and she looked older than 14 but not 18.
She got home drunk at 5am after we called the police
thinking God knows what had happened to her. The genius gave
her phone# and address to the 30-something guy whose
apartment she 'visited' that night. The guy then shows up a
week later to pick her up for a 'date'. I wanted to strangle
him but he got the picture real quick and drove off. Very
nice girl my little sister, very nice.

This is interesting information.  Just out of curiousity,
would either of you happen to know if Studio 54 was where
they filmed all the Disco dance scenes of the '70's Box
Office Smash with John Travolta - Saturday Night Fever?  I'm
only curious, as it appears this picture was primarily
filmed in NYC.
