Can you hear me out there?

OK guys, I don't think I've posted these before. Me & my brother went to Pasadena several years back (95 ish) to pick up a Dig Dug arcade game I bought from ebay. I figured if we were driving out to Pasadena for the day I would check out where Dave lives. Maybe sight see. Anyways, we found his house and parked on the side street. Walked up to front gate, but I pussied out and didn't ring the bell. My brother was prodding me to. WTF? Like Dave would have buzzed me in for a sandwich & some lemonade? LOL. Doubtful. Anyways, I took a couple pics through the fence of his driveway. Someone was home because the 1 garage door was open.

But, the most interesting thing to me was halfway down his property was a service gate slot. A mail slot on the outside of the gate with a big postal box on the inside of his poperty. I'm assuming this was used a lot back in the heyday for fan mail? Never seen a private property with a big US Postal receptacle. But then this is Dave, he does a lot of stuff no one else does. Anyways, here's the pics I snapped and you can see the mailbox in one of them.

I didn't ring the bell because I'm not a stalker. I didn't want to interrupt the guys privacy. I just stayed on the public sidewalk and snapped a couple photos and went on my quiiet way. Now if I'd have seen him pulling into the driveway, or out in the yard doing karate I might have hollered to him. But I'm not gonna just go up and knock on the front gate.

Enjoy!

Driveway here....notice someone is home by the garage being up. Wish I had better zoom.

And the main gate where I wouldn't ring the buzzer.

That just means he is ready to get out of the batcave...and I am sure there is a zoom on you.

...and I am sure there is a zoom on you.

Yes, I assumed I might have been eyed as I stood at front gate. But I tried to be very respectful, took a quick peek like anyone else who buys a map of the stars homes, and then I left. Of course we all dream of just throwing caution to the wind, ringing the buzzer, and Dave walking out & saying "yeah, Ed & Al are in the basement & we are recording now. Come on in & tell us what you think".

I have seen Hefs' house many times on TV and in my years of collecting playboys..to the point.

I had Google Earth on my computer and used only the suburban cities name Holmby hills and spent perhaps two hours searching the sattelite, working my way across the USA from Kansas City by image only , ( actually airplane geographical layout photos) to find hefs house...to the point.

I did this only because I knew from very few photos and talk on Hefs show about the Bunny House wich is supposedly on the same street, never use street addreses that is cheating only use things that are concidered a hunt type not a direct arrow point that is not a propper stalk.. ...to the point.

My objective was to see the airial view of the Bunny House in hopes I could zoom in on some babes laying around the pool in the back yard that took another hr or so..to the point.

I only knew it was a Kidney shaped pool a common style of pool layout but I also knew it was close by Hef's Mansion..to the point.

The right wing of hefs house has a large room addition as the viewer is, facing the front door from the circle driveway Hef added some years ago, as in relation to original photos from the 1930 that I Googled imaged just off the Google search engine photos, and viewed so you can for detective type situations and follow lead and discover interesting things..to the point.


I couldn't see any babes laying out the detail was not top notch that is the pay part of google earth that I am not putting out for...to the point .

You get within aproximately 300 or so feet above the ground with the free Google Earth,,,..to the point.


I have thought about doing this with DLR's house but he is a dude and I don't stalk everyone but it would be cool...to the point .

I used to follow Anthony Boudaines show with Google Earth as the show was being broadcast this island to the next oh that dock is the one on the show,.,..to the point .


Fun Stuff.

Mr. J.E. Tilt of Chicago was a shoe manufacturer. Mr. Tilt had several shoe stores and around 150 employees. The shoes had a reputation for high quality and were made especially for Marshall Field Co. To show the quality, the shoes carried the “Diamond T” trademark: the diamond for quality and the T for Tilt.

Dave's house was built for the Chicago shoe tycoon J.E. Tilt. Like Florida, southern California was a popular sunny winter destination for the midwest elite. It probably was a winter home built so the Tilt's wouldn't have to put up with those nasty Chicago winters.
