Okay, I’ve never been to California. But these addresses, from my research appear to be real places in and around Los Angeles. Some were pretty easy to pinpoint. Some were much, much harder. I’m especially proud of triangulating the address with the partial visual and finding Guy Mayer’s elementary school, Overland Avenue Elementary. (Crying Child)
