on TV?
Have you or anyone you know lived down the street or even in the same general area of someone famous or that you looked up to on TV?

I lived down the street from John Mellencamp. I never met him but a friend of mine almost ran him over when John pulled out in front of my friend's truck on his motorcycle. John Mellencamp and his wife almost died that day because he was acting like a moron on his bike.

I lived right across where Brent Severyn grew up. Other then that no not really. Lived in areas of town where Johnny Boychuk grew up and brought the Stanley Cup all across the neighborhood in 2011

I saw Neil Webb (a successful ex-Enlgand international footballer who won several domestic and European trophies) in one of my local pubs a few times. Despite his impressive football career he famously worked as a postman at that time.

Nobody I really looked up to, but Loretta Lynn lives in my town. We're vaguely related.

Not a celebrity by any means, but my neighbor played for the Chicago Blackhawks during the "original six" era

My next door neighbor that used to babysit me was in Playboy.
She had a grey bush.

I grew up and still live in Hollywood. So the answer is, yeah, probably.

When I worked for a grocery store I was constantly surrounded by famous athletes. Mike Bibby and I were on a first name basis, other Kings players would come in all the time too. I partied with Dante Greene at bar before, I used to see Chad Mendes and Joseph Benavidez(UFC fighters) every day and they were two of the coolest dudes I've ever met. Like any other Sacramentan I've met Urijah Faber more times than I can count.
I do see Mayor Kevin Johnson a lot since I've moved to downtown and he and his wife are very nice.
Edit: I forgot to mention I've met Jocoby Shaddix(Papa Roach lead singer) a few times and he was a nice dude. I also met the lead singer from Tesla, but he was a dick.

Tom Brady used to reside in Marina Bay (Quincy, Ma) at times during the season. I've seen him at Dunkin Donuts once or twice, and at CVS once. The latter time, I actually had the nerve to say hello, to which he politely say 'hey' back.

I used to baby sit a former Australian Rugby players kids. His parents lived next door.
It's mostly Rugby players around here though, no big time musicians or anything like that.

I live next to a Whole Foods that my brother used to work at which was frequented by several prominent Boston athletes. I recall Garnett and Ortiz having visited and my brother would get to have short conversations with them, which I always thought was pretty cool.

Sucks about Jeff Keith from Tesla. They're one of my favorite bands and Sacramento's greatest export.

In his defense I met him while I was picking up my buddy from work(cell phone store) and he was having issues with the way his account was billing so he was probably just having a bad day.
