I had no idea the neighborhood was that popular -- and I'm surprised more hipster Wes Anderson geeks don't trek up that way. I'm really happy that you found the post and got to re-explore your neighborhood. It's a very interesting area. I am so curious about who lives in that house now. When I went to visit, I seem to remember seeing some people moving around upstairs, and I wondered what it looks like on the inside -- did they paint over the scenes on the walls, etc? Who are these people? Did they buy the house because it was the RT house or just because it's a beautiful house? Weird that you've never seen anyone go in or out of it!

Walked by this morning on my way to the subway. It is 144th. Hamilton Terrace actually starts a half-block away. What the hell kind of way to act is that? Oops.

There are rarely tourists here on a weekday but on Sunday they come by the hundreds to see the local churches and attend services (likely to see the gospel choirs). It has gotten so bad that some of the churches create lines for the tourists in order that the locals can all get seats. Standing out from the tour buses and church lines yesterday I saw two women taking photos of the RT house. Since I have lived here I have known that the corner place was the RT house but no one else seems to notice it or talk about it. Seeing those women taking the pics piqued my interest again so I Googled "Royal Tenenbaum house" and your post came up near the top. After reading it I felt like a tourist in my own neighborhood. It's like old NY up here. Not too many chain stores and real neighborhoods full of people that grew up in this area. There are a couple of celebrities that live on the block and Law and Order: SVU films here (along with a number of movies) every couple of months or so. I remember seeing Ice-T walking back from the set on Hamilton Terrace (which reminds me.....the RT house is not on the corner of 144th and Convent Ave., it's on the corner of Hamilton Terrace and Convent) to his cherry-red Bentley while Richard Belzer had a driver take him the two blocks to his porta-dressing room. BTW, after all these years I have never seen anyone enter or leave the RT house. It's always very quiet there. I will have to watch the movie again this week and then open my curtains and look at the house just because I can! Thanks for your detailed post. Maria, I live across the street from the RT house.
