I was walking the streets of the Fab 40’s yesterday after a stop at TJ’s for yogurt pretzels, and I almost missed the Blue House because I was on the phone with my real estate agent. (Our third showing @392 Midstream is today @2:45.) For what it’s worth, if you smell smoke in the Fab 40’s like I did yesterday, it’s probably some rich retired guy firing up a fine Cubano, not some stanky hip-hopper with sagging shorts smoking weed. Just FYI.
For those of you on the outside looking in, “The Blue House” was made famous in the movie “Lady Bird,” Greta Gerwig’s breakout hit – and a “love-letter to Sacramento” – before she made the Barbie movie.
Last but not least…
1341 45th was a rental real estate property back in the late 60’s and early ’70’s. A nice couple named Ron and Nancy lived there. He worked for the State, while she practiced astrology and kept small dogs. It was nothing special by Fab 40’s standards, but they seem to have liked it. Later on they moved to DC after Ron got a promotion. In latter days they retired to Bel Aire in SoCal where they finally achieved the American dream of home ownership. That’s where Ron lost his marbles and Nancy continued with the dogs and the astrology. The things some people do, eh? Ah well, it beats living in a rental at least. 😉
Heading up I-5 to Portland today to visit Ben and see what kind of trouble we can get into this weekend. Stay tuned for details on your late local news @ 11.
