Stephen King's House

[Christiane17]

Hi there!! I don't know if a thread like this exists already, if so sorry for starting this one. I just wanted to post this pic of my nephew (a guy from France) , who's a true fan of our favorite author. He was so thrilled to be able to see the Maine house for real. So here it is. His name is Clement Cardineau, a real nice Young man, my nieces's boyfriend. If any of you have similar pics to share, I'll be happy to see them.

Very nice picture, thank you. He does look thrilled.

Wait, where the gargoyles?

I had never seen the gate closely, but does it say 47? That's the year he was born, or is it also his street number?

I was going to say that as well, I have never seen the gate or house that close up.

I was kinda hoping the numbers added up to 19.

...we have a bunch of pics from our trip to Maine, during the first King Kon....many of the neighborhood the "show house" sits in, but they are on another hard drive....meanwhile enjoy a pic of Solitary from the second King Kon in Mansfield, Ohio(at the Ohio State Reformatory where Shawshank was filmed)......

....at the top of the iron work where they've been since it was installed, look above his head.....

It is 47 West Broadway:

Nice coincidence.

I thought the exact same thing.

It's both.

It IS baffling! What a great idea to take something easy and turn it into a total cluster@@@@.

Great picture. Thanks for posting.

Is it me, or does that just look like a gigantic picture of boobs?

I was surprised that King is allowing people in to swim in his indoor pool and will sign as many copies of your books as you can bring in a wheelbarrow if you tell him that Ms. Mod said it was ok. That seems very generous of him. The water is a bit chilly but otherwise not a bad deal.

....oh sure!...swimming, signed books-but nary a kitchen tour to be had....the unmitigated gall!....

...took me a second, which is unusual since I'm a boob connoisseur, but if it is...they are from a rather matronly lady....saggy is what I'm saying....

I bet SK's place looks great in the Fall months with the changing color of the leaves. I don't know how many leafy trees he has on his property, but hopefully he has plenty. I just have cedars, and cedars just sit there.

What man isn't???
Or a voluptuous buxom lady leaning forward.
