After getting a picture of the door, I decided to see if anyone was home so I could share with the current resident the story of who used to live in his apartment.  I figured that anyone living there should definitely know such information.

Fortunately, as mentioned earlier, I had with me a of copy the LP itself and the Porter Wagoner biography that revealed that the photo was taken in the doorway of Porter's very own apartment.  It's probably always a good idea to have some documentation with you if you're going to knock on a stranger's door and try to convince him that Porter Wagoner used to live there.

After knocking on the door, though, no one answered so I reluctantly decided to head out.  On the way down the hall, I noticed a sign saying something like "If you need assistance, please knock on the manager's door."  Determined to share the information with somebody, I figured I'd burden the building manager with the story.  So I banged on his door and while waiting for an answer, a guy entered the building and walked past on his way down the hall toward apartment #104.  We exchanged courteous nods as he walked by and headed for, you guessed it, Porter's old apartment.

When I noticed he was reaching for his keys as he approached the door in question, I blurted out, "Excuse me....do you live in apt. #104?"

"Yep."

His name was Brandon and I showed him the album cover photo and the text in the biography that verified that he was indeed living in Porter Wagoner's old apartment.  Like any sensible person, he seemed to think that this was pretty cool.
