You are correct the Post Office was about 2 blocks away so JD could have walked there.

I checked for both places just in case the Idaho address is a little farther but still not that far like 1.4 miles
Grey Hound is close by in boise as well

 

[cold case lady]

what i meant is not the actual address he gave but the meridan part might be where he came from or did at one time in his life.His family might be there!

 

[Meyahna]

I think what she means is "Lyle's" identity as a missing person is not listed on either site.

Yes, thanks, of course that's what I meant.

 

[cold case lady]

what about the 1019 address in meridan,is there such an address there or a progress ave.

The address he gave is an actual one. The address he gave was for a Best Western in Idaho

 

[cold case lady]

thank you outofthedark!notice i was talking about meridan in mexico.I realize the address he gave was a real address in idaho.I was meaning trying to find out about the 1019 and/or the progress ave part in mexico.

I think when I stayed at the Best Western a couple of years ago they had book that gave the listings for all the best western's some included small maps showing location in city of some choices so he could have gotten it anywhere. I believe they also ask for ID and may even make a copy of it but I couldn't tell you how long they keep them though(not sure if they keep them for any amount of time but might for audit purposes)

 

[cold case lady]

that's what i thought to Al b! That he was looking for motel and the other address was there to,so he used it.

 

[Al_B]

you know reading this book and I am not that far into it yet they have mentioned a couple of places in Canada that I had to search the net just to know where they are (I would have assumed them to be in New York just because the people live there,but I was wrong) I will make a list to post later and see what everyone thinks.

 

[Al_B]

OK so they mention a Shoal lake(one in canada) in the book but there is a Shoal point near NY and quebec
they also mention l'isle verte ,grande isle, isle a la motte
and they make mention of the Adirondacks

 

[cold case lady]

the references your talking about(what is the book called)is that the same one everyone thinks he took his name and address from?

 

[Al_B]

well, name but yes places in you must remember this by joyce carol oates

Dearest Al_B,:blowkiss:
I have not read the book. I live a very short distance from Grand Isle and La Motte. The spellings that you show are different, but are these places in the book listed as being in Vermont?

Respectfully,
dark_shadows

 

[Al_B]

well the I figured they would be close to New York somewhere since that is where they are suppose to live and the places listed are suppose to be where they vacation at. I copied the names as she put them in the book so I don't know honestly where they are at I figured the spelling couldn't have changed that much since it's copyright in 1987 but the book takes place in the 50's but still wouldn't figure a change.

We are right next to New York and Canada. Thank-you you very much for your post.

no problem I figure there may be something in it not sure and just hoping to be done with the book soon as it is something I wouldn't read normally.But it would make sense since he was at the very wertern part of the US and possibly another country.

I got half way through the book and quit because it was so darned depressing. I love her books in general, though.

It seems almost all of Joyce Carol Oates' books take place in the same area (NY and Canada) if I'm remembering right. When reading the book, nothing stood out to really made me think he picked that book for any particular reason. Other than the general theme of suicide, I guess. Someone mentioned maybe he was a "fan" of Oates' books.

To my dearest Laini,:blowkiss:
Thank-you so much for your post.
Do you still have the book? If you do, what is said about Grand Isle and Isle LaMotte?

All of my Love and Respect to you,

[Al_B]

well even if he was a fan of hers it may still tie in somewhat.
She used to teach at Windsor University before moving to Princeton and she still guest lectures at Windsor U.
I couldn't pin point any bus route from the mentioned areas that went through Meridian though they all seem to go through Coeur D'Alene and Spokane
but with Best Western giving out the books with other locations I don't know.
