Rules are simple: answer the most famous **real** or **fictional** resident of a **real** or **fictional** address and leave another address in return. No using addresses such as 1600 Pennsylvania Ave or 10 Downing St. where there have been too many famous occupants to list just one, though it’s fine to name just one or the whole family if given an address with several possible answers (e.g. for 1313 Mockingbird Lane you can reply either _Lily Munster_, _Herman Munster_, etc., or just _The Munsters_.)

And honor system: no googling or netsearching.

First address:  
14 Garibaldi St., San Fernando, Argentina

\*San Fernando is now incorporated into Buenos Aires

I’ll add one too, I guess.

Who lives at 430 Spalding Way? Also, _when_ do they live there?

I won’t give the city or state(different reasons for each). 😉

The Simpsons?

And I don’t know why the when is added - just that the address is a reference to Spalding Gray. It was in the Kamp Krusty ep.

OK … **110a Piccadilly, London**

(It’s fictional, and was chosen in a homage to a colleague in the same line of work. So for a bonus can you say who the colleague was?)

Is this Leopold Bloom of _Ulysses_?

**astorian** : I’ll guess the Huxtables of _The Cosby Show_.

Here’s my contribution (though the “resident” is not a person, the address will bring back memories to many **Dopers** ):

And I don’t know why the when is added - just that the address is a reference to Spalding Gray. It was in the Kamp Krusty ep.

I thought The Simpsons lived on Evergreen Terrace.
