"Gran Torino" ... Clint Eastwood's House

238 Rhode Island Street, Highland Park, MI

In 2008, this was the house where "Walt Kowalski" (Clint Eastwood's character) of the movie Gran Torino lived.

Walt Kowalski was a cantankerous, beer-drinking veteran of the Korean War and a former Ford worker who was recently widowed.

He struggled to come to terms with his changing neighborhood, which has become occupied by predominantly Asian immigrants.

Walt reacts to anything he doesn't like, with a low growl and a snarled 'GET OFF MY LAWN!'


Notice: In just two years how large the shrub on the right of the house has grown.
