  • Baker Street

    Baker Street is a street in the Marylebone district of the City of Westminster in London. It is named after builder William Baker, who laid the street out in the 18th century. The street is most famous for its connection to the fictional detective Sherlock Holmes, who lived at a fictional 221B Baker Street address. The area was originally high class residential, but now is mainly occupied by commercial premises.

    Baker Street is a busy thoroughfare, lying in postcode areas NW1/W1 and forming part of the A41 there. It runs south from Regent's Park, the junction with Park Road, parallel to Gloucester Place, meeting Marylebone Road, Portman Square and Wigmore Street. At the junction with Wigmore Street, Baker Street turns into Orchard Street, which ends when it meets with Oxford Street. After Portman Square the road continues as Orchard Street.

    The street is served by the London Underground by Baker Street tube station, one of the world's oldest surviving underground stations. Next door is Transport for London's lost property office.

    64 Baker Street

    64 Baker Street, London was the address of the headquarters of the Special Operations Executive. The organisation moved to Baker Street in September 1940.

    A plaque on the building's face gives details of its former inhabitants.

    Nelson, British Columbia

    Nelson (Sinixt: k'iya'lmup,Ktunaxa: ʔaqyamǂup) is a city located in the Selkirk Mountains on the extreme West Arm of Kootenay Lake in the Southern Interior of British Columbia, Canada. Known as "The Queen City", and acknowledged for its impressive collection of restored heritage buildings from its glory days in a regional silver rush, Nelson is one of the three cities forming the commercial and population core of the West Kootenay region, the others being Castlegar and Trail. The city is the seat of the Regional District of Central Kootenay. It is represented in the provincial legislature by the riding of Nelson-Creston, and in the Parliament of Canada by the riding of British Columbia Southern Interior.

    History

    The West Kootenay region of British Columbia, where the city of Nelson is situated, is part of the traditional territories of the Sinixt (or Lakes) and Ktunaxa (Kutenai) peoples.

    Gold and silver were found in the area in 1867. Following the discovery of silver at nearby Toad Mountain in 1886, the town boomed quickly, leading to incorporation in 1897. Two railways were built to pass through Nelson. Due to its location near transportation corridors, Nelson grew to supply the local mining activity and soon became a transportation and distribution centre for the region.

    Baker Street (song)

    "Baker Street" is a song written and recorded by Scottish singer-songwriter Gerry Rafferty. Released as a single in 1978, it reached #1 in Cash Box and #2 in Billboard – where it held for six weeks. Additionally, it hit #1 in Canada, #3 in the United Kingdom, #1 in Australia and top 10 in the Netherlands. Rafferty received the 1978 Ivor Novello award for Best Song Musically and Lyrically. The arrangement is known for its haunting saxophone riff.

    In October 2010 the song was recognised by BMI for surpassing 5 million performances worldwide.

    Origins

    Named after the London street of the same name, the song was included on Rafferty's second solo album, City to City, which was Rafferty's first release after the resolution of legal problems surrounding the formal break-up of his old band, Stealers Wheel, in 1975. In the intervening three years, Rafferty had been unable to release any material because of disputes about the band's remaining contractual recording obligations.

    Rafferty wrote the song during a period when he was trying to extricate himself from his Stealers Wheel contracts; he was regularly travelling between his family home near Glasgow and London, where he often stayed at a friend's flat in Baker Street. As Rafferty put it, "everybody was suing each other, so I spent a lot of time on the overnight train from Glasgow to London for meetings with lawyers. I knew a guy who lived in a little flat off Baker Street. We'd sit and chat or play guitar there through the night."

    Baker Street (comics)

    Baker Street is a ten-issue comic book series created by Gary Reed and Guy Davis, and published by Caliber Comics between 1989 and 1991.

    Publication history

    The series consists of two story arcs "Honour Among Punks" written by Reed and Davis and "Children of the Night" written by Davis alone, who also provided the bulk of the art (with some early fill-in inking).

    Plot

    It features an alternative Sherlock Holmes world where the values and class system of Victorian era England carried over into a late 20th Century where World War II never occurred. The story mainly concerns a group of punks attempting to solve a series of murders reminiscent of the Jack the Ripper killings of the late 19th century.

    Collected editions

    Ten issues were published and collected in two trade paperbacks (one for each story arc) by Caliber:

  • Honour Among Punks (collects Baker Street #1-5, 175 pages, 1993, ISBN 0-941613-42-9)
  • Children of the Night (collects Baker Street #6-10, 178 pages, 1993, ISBN 0-941613-43-7)

    Baker Street

    by: Good Will Hunting soundtrack

    Performed by Gerry Rafferty
    Produced by Hugh Murphy Gerry Rafferty
    Written by Gerry Rafferty
    Windin' your way down on Baker Street
    Light in your head and dead on your feet
    Well another crazy day
    You'll drink the night away
    And forget about everything
    This city desert makes you feel so cold.
    It's got so many people but it's got no soul
    And it's taking you so long
    To find out you were wrong
    When you thought it had everything
    You used to think that it was so easy
    You used to say that it was so easy
    But you're tryin'
    You're tryin' now
    Another year and then you'll be happy
    Just one more year and then you'll be happy
    But you're cryin'
    You're cryin' now
    Way down the street there's a lad in his place
    He opens the door he's got that look on his face
    And he asks you where you've been
    You tell him who you've seen
    And you talk about anything
    He's got this dream about buyin' some land
    He's gonna give up the booze and the one night stands
    And then he'll settle down there's a quiet little town
    And forget about everything
    But you know he'll always keep movin'
    You know he's never gonna stop movin
    Cus he's rollin'
    He's the rollin' stone
    And when you wake up it's a new mornin'
    The sun is shinin' it's a new morning
    You're goin'
    You're goin' home.
