Curious about the home of Rob & Laura Petrie, I visited this site. Thought I'd pass it along.

Thanks, Steve. Interesting site. I've actually driven through New Rochelle a couple of times, but never have been able to stop and explore. I just may have to do that sometime!

I think I've said this before here, but there really is a Bonnie Meadow Road in New Rochelle. I went on a vacation in the Hudson River valley a couple of years ago and drove down into NYC. I went through New Rochelle and made a point of looking up Bonnie Meadow Rd. It's a short semi-circular street in a nice area with lots of trees . The houses look like they were built in the 1950's. The street is in New Rochelle, but the back yards are right on the city limits with Scarsdale.

I wonder if one of the houses on that street has a rock in the basement?

I once read there were plans to create a DVDS museum in New Rochelle someday... sort of like the Lucy-Desi museum in Jamestown, NY. If they did that it would be awesome!!! And at the grand opening, everybody from TDVDS message boards at SO could have a convention and we could all meet each other.
Now that would be cool! Kurt |

On the advice of another member of this board (I think it was Lolac), I bought Carl Reiner's book "My Anecdotal Life." I started reading it last night and am already about halfway through. So far I am thoroughly enjoying it. Anyway, in one of his stories Mr. Reiner mentions that he lived on Bonny Meadow Road in New Rochelle! He doesn't give the exact address, but I wonder if it could have been 148? I also wonder if Carl Reiner bought the house with a rock in its basement?
I am also finding out that some of the guest names used on TDVDS are from friends of Carl Riener. Two of his friends mentioned are Sol Pomerantz and Joe Coogan!! |

Even though there's a Bonnie Meadow Rd., there isn't a for real '148 Bonnie Meadow Rd.' I guess they had to do something to maintain a semblance of privacy for those who live there.

Carl's actual address was 48 Bonnie Meadow Road. He put a "1" in front (as someone noted) simply to make sure there weren't fan seekers trying to find the address (148 Bonnie Meadow Road does NOT exist).
