No one here's big on WWII history I take it.
Phil's closest, Shell's closest to the name. I'm looking at my map to find Nick. 101st Airborne, d-day, some what famous soldier hanging around until he went deaf. Famous enough they still have him, or a mock of of him, still hanging there. Edit- Found Nick, split the difference between Phil and Nick and you'll find me. I'm just hanging around waiting for you to let me down.

And Phil for the win!
I am hanging out in Ste-Mère-Église Private John M. Steele style- From Wiki- Quote:
Someday I'm going to visit the beaches of Normandy and a few of these towns where so many gave so much. Also planning on seeing a Nazi concentration camp museum. After that I think I'll need to spend a few days or a week in some of the Italian beach towns Shell spoke of above. You up Phil, go hide. I still got cable to run.

Tsk, tsk, tsk such language. We finally get new blood in here and you go dropping the "F" bomb all over. squeeb might take offense, never return. Then, then it'll all be your fault.
Just to be clear we're looking for the birth place of a person, right? (Shell- I've been very bad for a very long time. What, do tell, do you have in mind?)

Theodore Roosevelt's birthplace at 28 East 20th Street NYC?
Edit- you already told Nick this person wasn't a former POTUS. I shall go think some more.

Not a POTUS, not a literary figure and no connection to golf.
Was this person a woman?

Hey, hey, hey. Don't leave. We've all done it. I did it a couple posts above where I missed Nick's question. In fact we both did it on the same missed clue.
Certainly don't leave on my account. We need fresh faces in this joint. For what seems like forever Phil, Nick and I have been it around these parts. So, dude, famous dude... actor?
