now that’s a shame...

Some one missed an opportunity here- Bradbury fans would probably have paid to have this a museum or something

That’s what I was thinking.

The John Wayne home in Newport Beach was substantially remodeled and Ozzie and Harriet Nelson home in Laguna Beach was torn down.

The real estate was worth more than the existing homes.

Cheviot Hills is a wonderful LA neighborhood. I think it’s OK for the house to be replaced by a more up-to-date home if someone wants to do that and can afford it. A Ray Bradbury museum is a great idea, and might better be built in Hollywood. It could feature scenes from some of the movies made from his work.

I toured the Hemingway home in Key West. It’s rather a different story, as that house is already the best house in the ‘hood. Also, Key West is rather a small town and Hemingway beards are common, Hemingway contests go on. He was and remains the main cultural attraction there.

But Bradbury is just one of many many cultural icons in LA and his home was nice but nothing out of the ordinary for that neighborhood. Alas.

Not only did they tear down his home but they burned all his books too!!! : )
