A year or two ago when I heard that Kerouac lived in Northport I did a little research on-line and found a website (can't remember what it was) which had an address of his former residence on a street called Judyanne Ct.. I don't remember what the number was but I did look for it when I was out there. What I found was a ranch style house on a cul-de-sac nearer to the Crab Meadow beach area, not like the Gilbert St. house, which was in a neighborhood nearer to the train station. After I went to the show at the NY Public Libary and saw that the house was on Gilbert (they actually had a framed photo of it in the gallery) I just assumed that the Judyanne Ct. address was inaccurate. 49 Earl Avenue? Hmm. I gotta check that out too the next time I'm out there. Ya know..that would be insane if old Jack actually went to the Bali Hai. I would say that if anything, he may have went there once on a whim, for a laugh, OR by mistake. We all know he did like to drink. However, I'm betting that he wasn't a regular. Hey Johnny Carson used to hang at the Mai Kai! Carson..Kerouac. Two of my biggest heros!!!!! Jack sold the Earl Avenue house is 1961 , and moved down to Orlando , Fla...However , once again he and Memere returned to Northport on the snowy Christmas Eve of 1962 . They'd bought a new ranch house at 7 Judyann Court .
