Now, since everybody is fascinated with celebrity, and as it turns out I'm quite familiar with the general area, allow me to take everybody on a little tour.
So we start with the school complex of Wines Elementary and Forsythe Middle School (Forsythe was a Junior when I was growing up) in the center.
Now to the north, you'll see the "Newport Hills" area. There was no "Newport Creek" when I was growing up, it's a subdivision in that area that has been developed more recently than that. This is the area where the more affluent kids who went to Wines and Forsythe lived.
Moving south to where Sunset ends (or begins, depending on your perspective) right at - it's actually the main exit of the school complex, the main entrance is about 50 or so feet north, off of Newport - and turning to the southeast as Sunset runs, and going downhill down Sunset, we enter into the "Greater Sunset Brooks" area, although I don't remember anybody ever calling it that back in the day.
This is the area where I grew up, a few houses from the corner of Sunset and Brooks. The area was middle to upper middle class; not quite so hoity toity as our schoolmates who lived in Newport Hills.
Going back to the school, and then moving to the neighborhood that's to the south and west of the school complex - this is where the kids whose families tended to be more middle and working class who went to Wines School lived.
I guess that's still the case, because apparently nobody seems to have bothered to give this neighborhood it's own name still.
Anyway, I hope that was educational and informative for everybody.
Se ya in the funny papers.
