ST. PAUL, Minn. -- The host of public radio's "A Prairie Home Companion" is apparently looking for another place to call home.
According to the St. Paul Pioneer Press, humorist Garrison Keillor is selling his St. Paul, Minn., home a few weeks after a dispute with a neighbor ended up in court.
Keillor is seeking $1.65 million for his seven-bedroom, five-bath historic home, the paper reported.
The move comes after Keillor reached a settlement with his neighbor, Lori Anderson, over the new garage she planned to build seven feet from his home.
Keillor and his wife had filed suit against Anderson and the city of St. Paul claiming the garage would block their supply of light and air.
Terms of the settlement were not released due to a judge's order.
Keillor's "A Prairie Home Companion" was adapted into a feature film by late director Robert Altmann in 2006.
A comedy about the last night of a local radio show, the film starred Keillor, Meryl Streep, Kevin Kline, Lindsay Lohan, Woody Harrelson, Virginia Madsen and Lily Tomlin, as well as regulars from the real show including Tim Russell and Sue Scott.
