Here is a little thread to brag about where you've been that has been mentioned in a Frank Black Francis song.
Off the top of my head I have been to:
The Hilton Hotel in Amsterdam - Angels Come to Comfort You
Dresden - She Took All the Money
Baltimore - My Favorite Kiss
Prague, The Jewish Quarter, the Old Jewish Synagogue, Rabbi Lowe's grave - The Golem
How about anyone else? |

I must have missed that verse of the song where he talks about their Louisiana relocation.

Non geography related, instead a person with the same name as a song written by Frank Black related coincidence:
There was a guy called Robert Onion in the year below me in school. He was murdered around the same time that I left home at 18 and went to university. I sat and drank a cup of coffee in the university of glasgow union on my first day as an undergraduate and read about it on the front page of the daily record. This would be around the middle of September 1990.
I also used to know a girl called Anna, but that was with two n's. and I named my dutch bike Velouria, after the song Velouria. |

NIddry Street in Edinburgh is supposed to be the most haunted place in Europe. Maybe there...? |

I'll add Manchester to mine as well. Anyone remember where the haunted place in Scotland that inspired Frank to write Ghost Coming is? Maybe I'll check it out while I'm here. |

Did he sing about Zwolle? I was on the guest list for his Herman Brood tribute gig, only time I have ever been there.
Maybe I have been to the town featured in the song Holland Town, but all I know is that it begins with the letter L. Amsterdam also I suppose features in Angels come to comfort you.
I lived in Manchester for three years.

I once went down to a well, but it probably wasn't thee well. |
