It was 34 Gilbert Street and he moved in there in March 1959 ( and he did live with his mother ) , but , for a variety of reasons , sold it in June ! His mother went down to Fla. where Jack's sister lived , to look for a place , but Jack proceeded to purchase another house in Northport , this time at 49 Earl Avenue .

Was in Northport over the weekend and found 49 Earl Avenue. Like the other houses it's pretty modest in equally modest surroundings. The crazy thing about the Earl Avenue house is that it's a stone's throw from the former Bali Hai location. The street runs directly behind it. It would take no more than 5 minutes to walk over there. Crazy! Sushiman, just out of curiosity how did you find that Kerouac lived at this address?

Jack my numero uno writer bar none . I've read all the books ; the books of letters ; several bios ; and have seen a few docu/movies about Jack , and in the process , have absorbed an abundance of factoids such as the 49 Earl Avenue address .
10 to 1 Jack hit the Bali Hai at least once .
