People here probably already know this, but as a native New Yorker I can't resist adding that 177A Bleecker Street was the address of the apartment building Roy Thomas and then-roomie Bill Everett lived at for a short time in the mid-'60s...and Roy then used it a few years later when he was scripting the Dr. Strange series. Now the building's address is just 177 Bleecker Street--there's no "A". I've walked past that building many times over the years; I love the older buildings that are still around in the Village (even though IRL 177 doesn't look like the Sanctum as shown in comics or movies), That's because it's protected by a spell!Ha, I wanted to say the exact same thing. And yes 177A Bleecker Street is one of the few things I visited during my time in the U.S. (who has time for the Statue of Liberty?) |

The Sanctum Sanctorum -- home of Doctor Strange at 177A Bleecker Street, Greenwich Village, Manhattan, New York City... People here probably already know this, but as a native New Yorker I can't resist adding that 177A Bleecker Street was the address of the apartment building Roy Thomas and then-roomie Bill Everett lived at for a short time in the mid-'60s...and Roy then used it a few years later when he was scripting the Dr. Strange series. Now the building's address is just 177 Bleecker Street--there's no "A". I've walked past that building many times over the years; I love the older buildings that are still around in the Village (even though IRL 177 doesn't look like the Sanctum as shown in comics or movies), Like Dizzy D above, I just had to visit Bleecker Street when I was in New York, both for the Doctor Strange connection and the folk music/beatnik association. As you say, there is no 177A on Bleecker -- it's an imaginary address like 221B Baker Street. The real 177 is in the middle of a block, whereas Strange's house is on the corner of Bleecker and the imaginary Fenno Place. |

The Legion's (and then Substitute Legion's) Super-Hero Clubhouse I read a terrible story where it explained that it’s not an actual building, it’s a person that tried out for the Legion. |

The Legion's (and then Substitute Legion's) Super-Hero Clubhouse I read a terrible story where it explained that it’s not an actual building, it’s a person that tried out for the Legion. That would be Fortress Lad, from Secret Origins #46. He could turn into a building, but the Legion turned him down. Then they were attacked by somebody who could wipe out memories. To give the Legion time to regroup, FL turned into the clubhouse around them. But the Legionnaires forgot they met FL, and he lost all memory of being alive or something, and was stuck as the clubhouse. Not sure what they were thinking with that one. |
