Fleetwood Mac Landmarks

[Jezzup]

I have been thinking about this recently as well. My niece recently relocated to the Los Angeles area. I may visit in the fall and thought about taking a "Fleetwood Mac" tour.

Two of the locations I thought about were the apartment where Stevie and Lindsey lived with Richard Dashut as well as the Mexican restaurant where they all met for the first time. I'm assuming this is no longer the same business.

If anyone has those locations, please pass them along. The apartment I believe was Orange Grove and Fairfax.

I believe Richard might have mentioned the streets on his blog. Hey, I should ask him for some suggestions!

Absolutely.... I'd love to here what he'd suggest.

I did happen upon their star on the Walk-of-Fame when I visited Hollywood about 15 years ago. If I recall correctly, it is outside a Fredericks of Hollywood store.

Please correct me if I'm wrong .As I read this somewhere. I believe FM ate dinner at Yankee Silversmith restaurant while in town as they were at Trod Nossel.

Alot of the Oakdale Theater acts eat there also I had a couple dinners there too.

The restaurant burned down years ago and now Sonic is at its location now.

And here I thought I was the only person who would do such things!! On several of my last trips to LA I went around to some of the landmarks, including Stevie's old house on El Contento, the Bel Air house where they recorded SYW, and Stevie's old house that was bought by George Clooney. We went looking around for Lindsey's old house on June Street (where he also lived with Carol) but with no cross street or other reference it's almost impossible to determine which house it might have been. I was considering trying to post some of the pics.

Our plan on my next visit is to see Stevie's condo building and possibly the big house. OH! How could I forget-- for you, elle, we went by LB's house. But that was kinda weird, coz he still lives there…..

Richard's response-

Hi Richard. I may be taking a trip to San Jose and San Francisco in a couple of months and was wondering if you could suggest a couple of Fleetwood Mac landmarks. I already have Lindsey and Stevie's high school and the Record Plant in Sausalito on my list. Any other ideas? And thank you for the punter pass!

I’m not as familiar with their Northern Cali hangs as much as Los Angeles, but it seems like you have a couple of main ones already covered. I seem to remember Stevie, Lindsey and Robin, talking about the Bascom Ave. house a lot, where they lived together in San Jose. I have never been there but perhaps you can do some detective work to find out where it was. That would be a cool landmark and a definite part of Buckingham Nicks lore.


Then he later posted-

"To the anon heading up to the Bay Area: There's really not much to see. The Bascom house is private property, so there's nothing to do there. Same with the high school; no memorials or anything. Don't waste your time. Instead, spend more time in San Francisco doing tourist things. It's more fun."

The second one he posted with quotation marks, which he normally doesn't do, so I couldn't quite tell if that was him or him passing on a message from someone else.

Nice thread, I'm following since I'm planning to do a California trip in December or possibly January and to add some Fleetwood Mac flavour to my trip I might want to drive by a place or two.

Does anyone know where Lindsey's Bel Air house was located?

Here's an article I found on FM landmarks.
