all the places i have lived before

This is a blog of all the places I have lived from 1971 to the present... as street-view for each place becomes available on Google maps, I will also add those images.

Back to Topanga!

In 2014 we moved to Topanga! Home sweet home.

Valley Glen, CA

Living in Valley Glen/Van Nuys/Sherman Oaks officially makes me a valley girl.

I loved this little spanish bungalow in WeHo, built in 1927.

Santa Monica, CA

I just LOVED this apartment in Santa Monica, CA. I lived here from May 2004 to April 2006.

While I lived here I took a vacation trip to Panama.

Topanga, CA

I drove from Milford, NH to Topanga, CA in April of '04. I lived there for a glorious 6 weeks before finding a more practical, if less picturesque apartment in Santa Monica.

Milford, NH

In anticipation of my cross-country move, I moved all my stuff back to my dad's house in Milford, NH.

Davis Square

I lived in an empty room with a lot of backpacks. And a futon. In Davis Square...

The Fenway

I lived in the Fenway with JQ & X for a few months in the winter of 2003-2004...

Malden, MA

I lived in a beautiful, expensive apartment on Grace St. in Malden, MA until Aug. '01 when I followed my intuition to move to a cheaper apartment... just two months before I was laid off from Digitas in the wake of the .com crash and 9/11. I ended up moving back into the other Malden house, but this time to the downstairs apartment!

San Francisco

While living in Malden, I twice stayed in San Francisco for work, for two months each time. I lived on Nob Hill in 1999, and downtown in 2000.

While I lived here, I visited Portland as well.

Dorchester, MA

Fulfilling a life-long dream, in the fall of 2000, I moved to a gorgeous, sunny studio loft in Upham's Corner in Dorchester near the Strand Theatre.

I ended up being extremely allergic to the apartment, which, in addition to its astronomical allergen count, had the highest average decibel level of anywhere I've ever been in my life. It would have been quieter to live in a cardboard box in the middle of Times Square. I moved back to Malden two months later.

Malden, MA

I lived with my roomies in Malden, MA, the city of love, from '99 - 2000. Kelly and I also visited Costa Rica over Christmas of '99 but made it back in time to celebrate the millenium in Malden.

Belmont, MA

I rented a room from a friend in Belmont, MA for a month or two in 1999 before Kelly, Melanie & I moved to Malden.

wandering 1998

My mother and I went to England and Ireland in spring of '98. When I came back, I moved my stuff from the quarry back to my Dad's house in Milford... then I lived on Francis' boat in Constitution Marina, and sometimes stayed at friends' houses in Powderhouse Sq. , Porter Square, and Jamaica Plain.
