    Groundhogs-3744 James Road

    When the Groundhogs were on tour in the states, they played Memphis and somehow Tony broke his arm, so they ended up staying at this address here in town while he convalesced.

    if we're accepting apartment numbers you have to include the house classics from n.y. house n authority (APT 3A, APT 1B etc.)

    in fact you could include their second 12" too (dyckman house, fort green house).
