Yup, this was my first home there - http://www.hplovecraft.com/creation/...sp?id=598angel.
I lived in the third-floor apartment, with the entrance around the back (so my street number was 600 Angell). When I was looking for a place, the rental agent said "H.P. Lovecraft used to live here, if that means anything to you."
I said, "Wow, it sure does!" I had somehow discovered H.P. Lovecraft in my late teens/early 20s or somewhere around there, i.e., the impressionable ages, and I had never forgotten him. I took the place because it had what I wanted at a price I could afford, but I have to say H.P. was an additional draw.
(Yes, so maybe Michigan people don't know from quahogs [which I first heard of after I'd moved to New England, i.e., metro Boston], but those in the right frame of mind could find out about H.P.!)
