(Original Caption) 10/25/1970- Nashville, TN- Since 1925, Ryman Auditorium has been the "home" of the Grand Ole Opry and the national headquarters of foot-stomping, tear-jerking country music. By the spring of 1972, the red brick walls and stained glass windows will cease to echo the sounds of western music. At that time, not too far away, will be the new Opry House, surrounded by a series of specialty shops, restaurants, a motel and rides for the kids.
