Absolutely, Positively…The “Florida Showcase” Location

It’s taken a month and a few false starts, but we finally have the exact location of the Florida Showcase space which was home of the ‘Today’ show from 1962-1965. Thanks to our own “NBC, on the scene, reporter” Dennis Degan, who took this photo on the left on Sunday afternoon, we are now positive that we have the exact location. The ‘Tonight’ show’s Kurt Decker gave us invaluable help with the photos he found that show the exterior (center) of the space. We thought we had it the location Sunday morning, but in the Google map photo we had, the second set of fire hydrants (that weren’t there) was hidden by a bus and when Dennis went there that afternoon, we discovered the space is a few doors up by careful photo matching. When all you are working from is memories from decades ago, projects like this are a challenge, but here, thankfully…we get by with a little help from our friends.
