Where in San Pedro is Buk's home?

[Rekrab]

A simple drive by viewing seems harmless enough and not an invasion of privacy. But then, it's not my house. If I were living there, it might creep me out. In fact, I'm suspicious of everyone that drives by my house, especially if they drive slowly and look over at me brushing my teeth at the kitchen sink. I hear there's medication for this.

...i was on YouTube a few weeks ago and it showed a picture of his driver's license that had the actual San Pedro address. I was just surprised to see it out in the open like that.

That picture is from an exhibition catalog and the address has been altered, so you won't find it that way.

Rather than parking in the street outside his house your time might be better spent going to visit his grave, which is only a few miles away. We'll tell you exactly how to get there. ;)

and please, do not take any of that dirt.

No worries, not planning to take any soil samples or watch anyone brush their teeth. fascination is all. Why are some people making it seem like a crime?

Not a crime, but the breaking of the only rule we have on this forum (you agreed to it when you joined). Granted, a drive by visit would be outside the forum here, but the principle is the same. It would have the strong possibility of being an invasion of Linda Lee's privacy (imagine if every Buk fan did it), and we folk don't like to see any iota of a possibility of said invasion happening to Linda Lee, particularly if it results from information found/given here.

Visit the cemetery, read the books, watch the videos, and be happy with every richness that gives you. Let the living go on in peace and solitude.

in the interests of all those curious people that have wondered what it looks like i gotta question...

Can you Google street Map the Location?

This is true of L.A. in general. The city is constantly rebuilding itself and there are very few places left where you can get any sense of history. The character of the city is always shifting. Poor neighborhoods have become rich, middle-class neighborhoods have become poor, ornate old buildings are torn down and new glass, concrete and steel buildings take their places. Even where the old buildings still stand they're surrounded by newer structures to such an extent that they become almost invisible.

I gather that earthquakes in the 80s or 90s have caused renewal of some parts of LA that Buk inhabited, too.

Yes. But we won't. Mrs Bukowski has a right to her privacy.
