The Clinton Street I was thinking of was 344 Clinton Street, Apt 3B. I can’t give you the city or it would give it completely away. Even _aliens_ would know the answer if I gave the city, that’s how obvious it’d be. He later moved to 1938 Sullivan Lane. (And that street number is a hint all its own.)

**silenus** is in the lead with 8, followed by **Cherry Garcia** with 6. Tied for third are **Archive Guy** and **Clockwork and Candy** with 4 each. I’ll give you one last batch to gnaw on before the weekend. These should be easy, so you should be able to score some points. 🙂 Later today I might post some more hints on the ones already on the board. 110a Picadilly 86th Floor, Empire State Building Danemead, High Street Slip F-18, Bahia Mar Marina Southfork Ranch Wayne Manor Ickenham Hall Ramkin Manor, Scoone Avenue Kipling Mansions, Murray Road Elliott Bay Towers Whitehaven Mansions ---

**Hippy Hollow** is correct with Klickitat Street (Quimby residence) **silenus** gets two more points for Slip F-18 and Ramkin Manor **pinkfreud** , that is exactly the episode I was thinking of — though you could also have guessed The Andy Griffith Show Not giving any points yet for Wayne Manor or Southfork Ranch.
