by Paul A Drockton M.A. After reading “Gematria 9-11” aloud to my wife, and then showing her the “1164 Facade” where “Bewitched” was filmed, she commented that it sounded like the Laurel Canyon research of D McGowan.

It’s the address of the Laurel Canyon Association. http://www.laurelcanyon.org/YourLCA.html “Laurel Canyon– a heavily wooded, rustic, serene, … Read More
