You guys are thinking outside of the box, and that's a good thing, an interesting subject for sure. However, don't forget, Zodiac had originally sent Stine to Washington & Maple, NOT Washington & Cherry. I am curious, is there a police call box on that corner too?
I think the million dollar question is, why did Zodiac choose that location? Personally, I don't think Zodiac was a rich guy like Mr X, and I think if he was in that neighborhood, it was as a visitor and not a resident. Was he house sitting, visiting Family?? Sure he could have had some business or reason to go into the Presidio too. A thought I have had for a while is that perhaps, he worked for somebody in that area, and wanted to shock them or scare them, or maybe he was a Patient of a Doctor that lived nearby. That leads me to the next question, anybody have a 1969 criss cross directory for that neighborhood? Maybe we could look at every person in that small area to see if any of the residents stands out to us for any reason.
