Stranded in the Strand?

O.J. at Simpson's....

"I think that something nutritious at Simpson's would not be out of place."

— Sherlock Holmes,
“The Adventure of the Dying Detective”

Everybody who has read my story called Holmes is Where the Heart Is, knows I’m a life-long fan of Sherlock Holmes. As a young lad growing up in Indiana, I read about faraway London landmarks in the detective’s adventures, and I dreamed of seeing them someday with my own eyes.

Baker Street, Charing Cross, Paddington, Victoria, the Thames, Scotland Yard….

I could close my eyes and almost taste the succulent roast beef at Simpson’s-in-the-Strand, the restaurant where Holmes and Watson dined.
