There is no question that 221B Baker Street is the most famous
address in all of fiction. What makes it interesting is its
non-existence at the time of the stories' publications, and legions
of fans attempting to determine its actual location
afterward.
Vincent Starrett was a huge fan of this game. So much so that
he dedicated a chapter in his book The Private Life of Sherlock
Holmes to it. To celebrate our 221st episode, Scott and
Burt read "No. 221B Baker Street" from the book. It's just a
Trifle.
