Hello to all in Hollywood and all around the world, I lived on the 1800 block of Cherokee back in 1981 and 1982 in Hollywood…. I am trying to recall the actual house number address….1851…..1850 or something like that on the East side of the street……anyways, if you drive up the hill on Cherokee you will face Franklin …..I feel good about my being so close to “OZCOT” on Yucca….I can say that I lived in my own little OZ at one time in my life….Joe a.k.a.

This piece probably warrants serious expansion. Nice going, Allan.

A very interesting post about the author of the classic book “The Wizard of Oz”, including other stories. The excrutiating pain across his face , suffered at a later time , could have been due to Trigimenal Neuralgia or other term Tic Doulureux, a condition affecting the facial nerve later in life. Of course I do not know what caused his suffering?????
