ok, one more Portero Rd. one before the nice men in the white coats show up to haul me off to the looney bin again:
first, a creative shot from a tree in Sue Ellen's Sister, just before the famous 'Bobby drives around the bend, passing a small blue car going the other direction' segment that they used in a subsequent season as well.
note that the road is bending to the right, and there's a driveway not far away on the right. Check out the two (not sure of the word - pillars? columns?) flanking the end of the driveway, just to the right of the ditch and shrubs, and the round pot-like ornaments on top (not the figures with the red tops and white pants to the right of that).
now, flash forward to Google Maps 2008: - I think the camera is in/by the tree on the left of the road here. You can see the road is about to bend to the right:
and as you go a little bit further, voila, there's a driveway that still has those round pot-like things on top of the column/pillar driveway-flanking things!
(maybe the pot-like things are 'cups', like the 'Stanley Cup' or the 'Ryder Cup' or trophies from Wimbledon) . The wall to the right of the road, of course, is post-1978
