The current owners of the home are Brady and Emily Johnson, who say they were skeptical when a neighbor told them Dylan once lived there. But they believed it after seeing proof from an old city directory.
"Bob Dylan lived in the attic, which is unfinished to this day; however, I'm sure it would've been quite comfortable in the summertime," Emily Johnson said. "As a fun proof of this, my husband found a cable cord, which directs to our attic, labeled 'Bob Dylan.'"
And Dylan's vibes might still be in the walls.
"When we first looked at our home, it immediately felt comfortable and familiar...A place where we could settle but also grow into, not unlike Dylan's music," Johnson said.

Back to 1959. Ron's father Al Joelson had just died the year before in 1958, and according to city records, they owned and operated Sid's Tavern (the bar that later became The Round Up Lounge on NP Avenue.)
