Mac Sites to See in California?

[fleetwoodtrick]

Hellooo, everyone! I will be visiting some friends in California through out most of August, so I was wondering... what are some interesting Mac sites to see there? I've heard talk of Lindsey and Stevie's old apartment. And of course the Sausalito record plant. And they have a star on the walk of fame, correct? Would someone mind posting some addresses/ideas for me? I won't be in the city too much. :) Just shopping for desginer thingsss. I'll be spending most of my time at the BEACH!

Thanks in advance!

I'm interested in this, too, considering I live here and am yet to see anything Mac related :(

They do have a star-- it's on Sunset in front of Frederick's of Hollywood.

Their apartment was on Fairfax and Orange Grove, right?
Gah, I'm such a dork for knowing that.:p

You could check out where Buckingham Nicks was recorded, where Stevie and Lindsey met up with the others for dinner (wasn't it a Mexican restaurant?) on New Years Eve 1974 to talk about joining the band, Menlo-Atherton High School (555 Middlefield Road, Atherton) and wherever else they recorded in California. Of course I have no addresses. :laugh:

ETA: Mick first heard Frozen Love and met Lindsey at California's Sound City Studios (15456 Cabrito Road) in Van Nuys. The White Album was also recorded there in February of '75.

Rumours: Record Plant Studios (2200 Bridgeway), Sausalito; Wally Heider Studios (245 Hyde Street, San Francisco, between Turk and Eddy Streets, across the street from Black Hawk jazz club), LA; Davlen Recording Studio, North Hollywood; Zellerbach Auditorium, Berkeley.

I can't find Davlen's address, however, they have a website: http://davlensoundstudios.com/
Directions to the Zellerbach Aud are here: http://facilities.calperfs.berkeley.edu/zellerbach_auditorium/

Tusk recording location: The Village Recorder, West Los Angeles, CA - I believe the address is 1616 Butler Ave.
Mirage: France, as well as the Record Plant. Mixed at George Massenburg Studios, West Los Angeles.

Aaaand there's a lot of recording locations on the Penguin Discography: http://discog.fleetwoodmac.net/artist.php?fn=d1&aid=25&gid=0&fid=1

Oh, and Stevie was a waitress at Clementine's. Google says Clementine Restaurant in LA is on 1751 Ensley Ave.

One of Lindsey's homes (I've read it's his 'former' house, but I don't know if that's correct) is at 34.08817800, -118.45163200. Once again, Google says it's on Airole Way, somewhere between house numbers 933 - 957. I think it may be 933. Type in the lat and long and you can use Google Streetview to 'stand' in his driveway! http://maps.google.ca/maps?hl=en&q=34.08817800%2C%20-118.45163200&um=1&ie=UTF-8&sa=N&tab=wl. When Kristen was pregnant, they lived at a Four Seasons in Beverly Hills.

I drive by MA (Menlo Atherton High School) every day-- was just there about an hour ago. It's really not that exciting, especially since the entire place is covered in construction right now. It's so cool for me to know that Stevie and Lindsey went there, though, and its such a normal part of my day to day life.

Aww. I'd love to visit places like that, as trivial as they are. :woohoo:

High school Student Store's often keep a collection of the un-sold Yearbooks for each year. You should stop into Menlo-Atherton's and ask their Financial Manager if they have a yearbook in stock from Stevie & Lindsey's tenure. :shrug:

Juniper Street- the inspiration for "Flying Down Juniper" is no less than a quarter mile from Menlo Atherton High. Lindsey and his richie-rich family grew up in the Flood Circle neighborhood.

Nope, just creepy. ;)

But if you're in Arcadia, my hometown, you can see Arcadia High School, where Stevie went to school for a year or two. And once you're in Arcadia, you'll want to eat lunch or dinner at Clearman's Village -- North Woods Inn -- & unwind at the L.A. County Arboretum, one of the biggest in the country.

You can also drive past the City of Hope on Huntington, where Robin Anderson was initially treated (before being transferred to UCLA Medical Center).

If you're up in central (Bay Area) visiting the Record Plant in Sausalito, eat a meal at Scoma's. Don't leave Sausalito without eating at Scoma's--or I'll kick your ass.

Out of curiosity, does anyone know what street Stevie lived on? I've heard her mention it was only a couple of blocks from Lindsey's house.

Nah. I know about it because of the story Christine told about her mother's prediction.

My friend thought I was a creeper for knowing about Menlo-Atherton. :laugh: She said her friend went there and I mentioned Stevie and Lindsey. Her response: :rolleyes:

The Plant Studio in Sausalito is in trouble.
Read about the preservation attempts here (http://avehicleforchange.org/?page_id=162).
Posted on the link is a video of Mick Fleetwood boring me to tears with his take on saving The Plant.

I'll do that. I'll also take some pictures of the school tomorrow when I'm in the area. I'm pretty sure the store is only open during the school year so I'll run through sometime in August.

He apparently grew up in Atherton. Let's put it this way-- there are a handful of houses under 5 million within the ENTIRE city.

When will you be there? Their first day of school is August 19.

Well, I pass it every day... its on the way to my stable. So I can go basically anytime to look for that. My first day is the 20th so maybe I'll go on the first day.

Actually, as far as I know, Student Stores are open year-round. :shrug: Good luck, and have fun!

Just talked to my friend who goes to MA... she says that there are a few teachers who were either students or teachers at MA when Lindsey and Stevie were there. She says that she's more than happy to introduce me so I can ask obnoxious questions :)

Ugh, I'm starting to really, really regret losing touch with Dave Young right about now... Rule of thumb: if a teacher of your past happened to date your favorite singer/songwriter of all time, don't let that connection die! I'm still shocked that I let that happen.

[fleetwoodtrick]

Jesus you guys! Thanks soooo much! I don't think I'll be able to see all of these, but I'm going to try! My dad will be the one driving... and he doesn't like Fleetwood Mac. But my mom and I both LOVE them (hence how I got the name Rhiannon!) so it'll be 2 on 1.

Oh, and I will mostly be in Southern Cali. My parents aren't sure if we'll make it to the Sausalito area though. D: So David can kick my ass. But I'll definitely get to see the Mac's star!
