Good memory. Lennon was shot outside his apartment building, The Dakota, there.
Aside from gaining popularity due to the various celebrities that have lived there over the years, it became well known when it was used as the apartment building that Mia Farrow and John Cassavettes lived in, in the Roman Polanski movie 'Rosemary's Baby.'
Yoko Ono still lives there. I believe their apartment is on the 4th floor correct? I wonder what they look like on the inside. From the outside there's nothing really grand about it. You'd never know it was The Dakota except for the tourists all getting their pictures taken in front of it. Present company included.
