When I read that...

"Mike Todd was born Avrom Hirsch Goldbogen in Minneapolis, Minnesota, to Chaim Goldbogen (an Orthodox rabbi) and Sophia Hellerman, both of whom were Polish Jewish immigrants."

...I just assumed that Mike Todd most likely grew up in Northeast Minneapolis, and not near my house in North Minneapolis.

In the map below, North Minneapolis is on the left, or west-side, of the Mississippi River and Northeast Minneapolis is on the right, or east-side, of the Mississippi.

The blue navigation line on the map goes from the Hell's Angels' Clubhouse to Tony Jaros' River Garden bar...home of the "Greenie", a strong lime-flavored drink made with vodka!..

By the way...Anthony Joseph "Tony" Jaros (born February 22, 1920 in Minneapolis, MN) was an American professional basketball player for The Lakers from 1947-1951.

The blue navigation line also travels across the Mississippi River over the Lowry Avenue bridge. Sometimes locals call this bridge "the longest bridge in the world"...because, as they say...the bridge goes from Africa (in N Mpls) to Poland (in NE Mpls).

Since I knew NE Minneapolis was predominantly populated by Polish immigrants and Mike Todd's parents were Polish Jewish immigrants, I figured it was most likely that Mike Todd's childhood home was in Northeast Minneapolis...

^ Remember back a page I posted this?..figuring that Mike Todd childhood home was in NE Minneapolis.

Surprisingly though, Art Cohen gives Mike Todd's exact address in his book and it was near my house in North Minneapolis. Mike Todd's address was south and just one street over from mine.

The streets in North Minneapolis are named alphabetically--

Aldrich Ave.
Bryant Ave.
Colfax Ave.
Dupont Ave.
Emerson Ave.
Fremont Ave.
Girard Ave. <-- Mike Todd's Street
Humboldt Ave. <-- Stephanie's Street (me)

In The Nine Lives of Mike Todd, Art Cohn writes:

They had moved back to Minneapolis and into the fine five-
room house on 718 Girard Avenue North, where the rent was
twelve dollars a month, next door to the home of Floyd Olsen,
the former Governor of Minnesota, no less.

So, Randall...I figure if for some crazy reason I would ever want to go on a metaphysical journey "around the world" with Mike Todd, I have already been to the first stop!

and then a horizontal line from the Hells Angels' clubhouse to the west--

The point where those two lines intersect...

is where Anthony Kiedis's 'doppelganger' gave me this Red Hot Chili Pepper sticker...

I read Anthony Kiedis's book Scar Tissue for the most part.

I seriously doubt that I would be posting here on your astrology forum if it weren't for the Hells Angels, Randall.

In a nutshell...someone came to my house looking to meet a Pisces girl, I was given Linda Goodman's Love Signs, and the next thing I know I'm studying astrology and casting charts for Hells Angels and their Known Associates.
