I made the last trip to the old studio today. Everything is finally moved out and at home in our new location in Phoenix. Diane and I are both excited to be out of the Tempe studio. We won’t miss the constant sound of jets flying over our heads, the crumbling building, the leaky roof, or the dumpster just outside the front door.
I know, I’m making it sound worse than it really was. The old place was a fun location with lots of character and we were happy to have a home in Tempe. Unfortunately the management company didn’t keep the building in good condition and the business park started to go sour soon after we moved in. Two months ago the entire business park was sold and new management took over. But it was too late, the damage had been done and we’d already decided to move to Phoenix.
Goodbye Suite 111. Thanks for all the memories.
A last look at the studio in Tempe. I shot this with my iPhone just before walking out the door.
This hole is where we built our makeup counter. We took that with us.
One of the things I won’t miss at all; the dumpster right outside our front door.
And as a tribute to the old space here’s a video from 2006. I think it shows everything in the studio except the bathroom. You may also recognize Lilli and Amanda from previous posts.
