A little history of the building:
1947 - Built as opened as the "Pole Barn" a country western club.
1969 - Sold to current owner. Current owner turned the club from the "Pole Barn" into "The Inferno". This change apparently cost $750,000 (yes in 1969 money). The Inferno was a "Santanic" club where "the kids could walk on the wild side"
1988 - Club rethemed to "Crossroads" a club for everyone.
1989 - Club rethemed to "Stars" This club was futuristic and featured a lot of neon lights and space settings.
1990 - Club changed to "Off The Wall" featuring secret rooms, a "crashed" airplane coming through a wall and just really off the wall themes. A lot of neon lights. Keep in mind, every time he rethemed the building he never removed the old items. He just added to it. So by this time (and the pics you'll see) there's a lot going on here.
September 15, 1992 - The club closed. Neither the owner nor his staff member (who was the club manager from 1970 - 1992) would mention why. This just added to the overall confusing nature of this building.

Will someone please clear this up: news reports said "right behind a shuttered nightclub."
Then reports said that Lake Tyler was being searched, and the "small pond behind the club," a pond that fed into the lake. (These aren't exact quotes, necessarily, btw).
But that small pond isn't right behind Off the Wall. There's yet another lake behind it.
There's a swapmeet area across the street from the closed club. That's the area with a pond right behind.
Looks like the pond feeds into Lake Jessamine and the bldg with the airplane is next to the pond... Correct
Then Lake Tyler is across the street.

Divers just finished dragging a canal alongside a mobile home park in #MichelleParker search. Found nothing. www.clickorlando.com
And then right before that tweet, he sent this one(so now I'm confused - is there one search or two going on today?):

@Katiemadonna1 It appeared CSI might have left with a bag, but too far away to say for certain. He left. Search still underway.

Fitting..........
I'm confused too, though. Which lake? Which pond? Lake Jessamine? Lake Tyler? The mobile home park is near the club, on the east side of OBT. Lake Tyler is on the west side of OBT.
