I guess it was in 2021 when I shot some footage with Duane and Rachel Anderson of Travel by the Book TV. Took them awhile, but they’ve got about 20 minutes now up on YouTube, touring Hammett sites in San Francisco.
I show off Burritt alley, and they have a nice sequence where I’m telling about how Beat poet Lawrence Ferlinghetti wanted to rename Burritt.
He wanted to name it Dashiell Hammett Street.
As you’ll see in the video, my response was “NOOOOOOOOOO!!!”
