@bijouxbroussard I used to drive out to Clint Eastwood's restaurant in Carmel, when I was a teen, but not officially an adult. He was there often signing autographs. This was between the time he was an actor, but not yet a superstar.

Captain Cook and Bram Stoker are not from the same place
@Jamesy So we can claim anyone that goes on holiday to our home town then?
Jamesy · 41-45, M
@TheDeathOfOzymandiaz bram stoker was inspired to write dracula while staying there, captain cook sailed regularly from Whitby and he was a Yorkshire man, why so serious
@Jamesy Stoker had a lot of inspiration for Dracula, I am sure Whitby may well be one of them.
