the Brooklyn apartment where Biggie grew up

"Eleven days after his birth, Ms. Wallace took her son to the place that he would call home for the next 20 years, apartment 3L in 226 St. James Place, between Fulton and Washington. Theirs was a spacious apartment, with a large living room, a dining area, a study, and three bedrooms. The one opposite the kitchen on the far end of the hall was Christopher's." [The Life, Death, and Afterlife of the Notorious B.I.G.]

That address is geographically impossible. St. James Place is parallel to Washington, so it can't be "between Fulton and Washington." That said, I live on St. James Place, just a couple of blocks north of Biggie. Word!

226 St. James is between Fulton and Gates, one block east of Washington. (I live one block away, on Cambridge, and used to date a girl who lived on the third floor of 228 St. James.)
