It’s not featured in the play, though. Only mentioned. The prison is the first six hits on Google right now, too. 😛

The play came first, and is a classic work. Got to give the nod to Tennessee Williams over a comic book.

221B, actually. Mrs. Hudson should have told you. There’s a Sherlock Holmes Museum at that actual address in London today.

Chauncey Street was where Ralph & Alice Kramden lived on _ **The Honeymooners.** _

A funny aside: Geoff Edwards had a morning radio show in Los Angeles and a call-in segment called “Answer Lady.”  
At this time Tony Bennett had a cover version out of “Little Green Apples,” in which he sang, "And it don’t snow in Minneanapolis _[sic]…"_  
I called in and asked Edwards “Where is Minneanapolis?”  
He said, “Right next to Mickeyanapolis.” 😃

Is the first the location of the British version of _The Office_?  
And Rashomon’s somewhere in Japan, I suppose.
