That is one strange city, strip joints and beer joints all on the same street as the Morman Temple.

ZenGum 10-27-2011 08:50 PM

Big organs all over the place, eh?

glatt 10-28-2011 07:48 AM

I knew that organ too. I think it's been on TV a lot.

Grav, I was looking from Chicago to Richmond. I didn't settle in on New Jersey until I was trying to match the shade of green. When you look on Google Earth, the green comes in different shades in different regions.

So the rail didn't hug the river but it wasn't river we were looking at...!

It's very close to the Delaware. I'd say "hug" is appropriate.

If all the beer in Utah is 3.2 beer then I wonder if all the strippers wear bikinis or something. Don't the LDS have special underwear?

Where is this?

wolf 10-28-2011 11:49 AM

Total guess, someplace like Windsor Castle.

wolf 10-28-2011 11:54 AM

Right idea, wrong country, apparently. It is a palace ... Governor's Palace, Williamsburg, Virginia.

Spexxvet 10-28-2011 12:03 PM

Yep.

glatt 10-28-2011 12:04 PM

That could be almost anywhere. Probably Europe though. I've been to at least a couple armory rooms in castles that looked like that.

But it could also be some place like colonial Williamsburg VA.

glatt 10-28-2011 12:05 PM

Are you kidding me? I'm such a slow typist.

Seen in isolation, sometimes things become less familiar.

HungLikeJesus 10-28-2011 12:21 PM

I thought it was Spexx's new addition.

Lamplighter 10-28-2011 12:24 PM

Ron Paul's campaign headquarters ?

infinite monkey 10-28-2011 12:28 PM

Independence Hall?

If I'm right I'll tell you how I figured it out.

wolf 10-28-2011 12:33 PM

You are right.

Yay!

I thought...well, it's in Philly right? And Philly has the liberty bell, right? Well where do they keep the bell, I thought. Google images of liberty bell, saw this, then wiki'd liberty bell to see where it used to be housed.

Not rocket science but I was proud, having never been anywhere near it.

Where is this?

wolf 10-28-2011 12:39 PM

Back in my day you had to go inside Independence Hall to see the Liberty Bell. And you were allowed to touch it.

wolf 10-28-2011 12:41 PM

Well, that narrows it down to about 20,000 possible places ...

Cincinnati airport?

infinite monkey 10-28-2011 12:43 PM

Ding dong, I ding donged you way up thar!

wolf 10-28-2011 01:08 PM

That's not the real picture. That's the picture of how the cloaking device based on alien techologies looks.

OK, here's a pretty easy one. Where is this?

Lamplighter 10-28-2011 01:14 PM

I'm not even gonna go there.

It looks a bit like other photos of the Empire State Bldg, but then...

Spexxvet 10-28-2011 01:28 PM

Imma say Sears Tower

glatt 10-28-2011 01:37 PM

Yes. Empire State Building.

Lamplighter 10-28-2011 01:53 PM

Yea....

OK, here is a building that changes annually...

If you really without a clue, there is a hint in another thread

Spexxvet 10-28-2011 01:59 PM

Is it made of Lego bricks?

Lamplighter 10-28-2011 02:00 PM

Leggo bricks... No

glatt 10-28-2011 02:02 PM

Reminds me of the Corn Palace. Is it the Corn Palace? I thought that place burned down?

Lamplighter 10-28-2011 02:06 PM

Ha. It's been a very long time since I was there. Maybe it did burn down !

It is the Corn Palace... and it is where ?

glatt 10-28-2011 02:07 PM

Mitchell, South Dakota

Lamplighter 10-28-2011 02:09 PM

Yes...

glatt 10-28-2011 02:11 PM

And looking up its history, the Corn Palace burned down in 1979 and was rebuilt. It's now the corn veneer palace, so it will stand up to future fires better. I was there a very long time ago as well.

Im gonna jump in with one (even tho I haven't guessed one yet).

infinite monkey 10-28-2011 03:24 PM

San Diego?

Lamplighter 10-28-2011 03:24 PM

My first reaction is that I've seen that pic on TheCellar before.

East coast ? civilian boating mishap ?

HungLikeJesus 10-28-2011 03:31 PM

San Diego - isn't that German?

infinite monkey 10-28-2011 03:34 PM

No. Russian.

Pico and ME 10-28-2011 03:55 PM

I don't think Dr Fumblefinger should be working there! :eek:

Pico and ME 10-28-2011 08:07 PM

hmmmm. Even Glatt's not guessing.

Lets see.

Lamp, you are right, this picture was posted before, because I posted it - I took it. What I like about it was the view of the neighboring state's mills. Its something you only see on a very clear day.

Lamplighter 10-28-2011 08:16 PM

So the pic was taken in Indiana and the mills are in Michigan ?

Pico and ME 10-28-2011 08:16 PM

:cool:

Pico and ME 10-29-2011 02:08 PM

Ok, I guess it is a bit esoteric. Pete Zicato should recognize it and possibly Nirvana too.

It is Lake Michigan, Lamplighter, but from the vantage point of Navy Pier. I grew up very near to those mills on the Indiana shore - sometimes, on a clear day, you can see the Chicago skyline from there.

OK, this one is also from a long time ago.
The question is not what, but where...

wolf 10-29-2011 09:21 PM

Well, it's a pixelated picture of a hanger ... looks a bit run down ... Soviet Union?

wolf 10-29-2011 09:25 PM

Or maybe it's run down from plain old disuse ... Lakehurst, New Jersey?

Lamplighter 10-29-2011 10:48 PM

Sorry, no.

Griff 10-30-2011 08:20 AM

Mena?

wolf 10-30-2011 08:24 AM

Tustin, California ... which did involve some google fu. I knew roughly what KIND of hangar it was, and went looking for pics of such.

Lamplighter 10-30-2011 08:47 AM

Tustin, California - Sorry, no, but closer

wolf 10-30-2011 08:58 AM

Ah ... with the addition of the airplane graveyard we get ... Tillamook, Oregon Air Museum.

Lamplighter 10-30-2011 09:10 AM

Ding ding ding...

It's hard to appreciate how BIG that place is without going inside

The blimps were used to during WWII to look for submarines
