Reply to comment by MyAccountWasBanned7 in New owner of Astoria Goonies house wants to keep it open for movie fans by OregonTripleBeam

I used to live on LI, play shows in Amityville, and found the house. Totally different, but still pretty cool.

I live in western NY, so it's a ways away but do-able for a daytrip. I was really disappointed when I heard that they remodeled that whole side of the house so rhat it no longer looks like the book/movie cover.

I never understood the reasoning either - you purposefully bought the Amityville house. You knew what it was when you bought it. Why even move there if you don't want the attention? You paid a premium, I'm sure, because of the infamous nature. It's just so dumb to me.

Exactly. They could have easily made a barrier so people could see, but not pass for far cheaper than remodeling the front of the whole damn house.
