Winnie the Pooh. 
Nope.
Hint: One of the neighbouring boats was the “John Maynard Keynes”
Hint #2: the owner worked at 1 University Circle in Monterey.
Or, to be less cryptic, he was a Chief Warrant Officer at the Naval Postgraduate School.
Travis McGee (and the John Maynard Keynes belonged to his friend, Meyer, until it was destroyed and replaced by the Thorstein Veblen)
“112 1/2 Beacon Street, Boston, MA”
Cheers?
Why, the most noble and ancient house of Black!
Two from me:
-
16 Parkside Lane, San Francisco, CA.
-
Bad Street, Atlanta, GA (last house on the left).
AuRa got this one right- it was Nero Wolfe (plus Archie, Theodore and Fritz).
In fairness, Rex Stout sometimes varied the address a little (usually putting the house somewhere in the Hudson River), but it was always on West 35th.
That was the lady passenger, in Harry Chapin’s great song, “Taxi.”
" ‘Where you going to, my lady blue?
It’s a shame you ruined your gown in the rain.’
She just looked out the window,
And said ‘16 Parkside Lane.’ "
Her name was “Sue”.
Me? I’ll be flying in my taxi, taking tips and getting stoned.
OK, it’s actually the last house on the right. And, I’ll add that the further down the block you went, the badder it got.
As an unrelated bonus:
Copperhead Road. Going for a visit is definitely contra-indicated. Need First, Middle, and Lastname.
I’m so excited nobody’s mentioned this one yet:
312 Maple Drive
Beverly Hills, CA
76, Totters Lane, Shoreditch. (Briefly)
Anthony Aloysius Hancock.
“A pint?” “That’s nearly an armful”
I repeat…1, Oil Drum Lane
You got it!
Yes.
Wild guess…the Beverly Hillbillies?
John Lee Pettimore, same as his daddy and his daddy before.
Final hint: the family’s story inspired two movies and a TV series.
