the car in the lower right looks american, plus speedboats and the architecture of the marina seems totally american

That's too many! I just wanted to see if I was on the right lines since the two guesses were at the opposite ends of the country.

can anyone discern the logo on the white building?

69, Monday, 12 July 2010 18:50 (thirteen years ago) link

it's either a 1, or an I, or one of those fancy F's

is it north of DC, latitude-wise?

i think the overcastness may be leading me to believe it's somewhere with a blustery climate despite the fact that all those trees look to be pretty meager, which would suggest otherwise?

del griffith, Monday, 12 July 2010 18:57 (thirteen years ago) link

It's north of D.C.

The 1 is the logo for Bank One, but this is not the corporate headquarters so that shouldn't tell you anything.

God, I gotta stop answering questions! I'm out until someone picks the right city.

kkvgz, Monday, 12 July 2010 19:02 (thirteen years ago) link

yeah yeah, i wasnt asking you -- just a general question in case it spurred something in someone else...

If it's this easy I'm playing along more often, but North of Washington, on a big river -> Harrisburg?
(Googled Harrisburg and I seem to see that capitol building style dome?)

looks suspiciously similar to #118, are you sure it's not McKeesport, PA again?

del griffith, Tuesday, 21 September 2010 14:54 (thirteen years ago) link

brownie, Tuesday, 21 September 2010 15:07 (thirteen years ago) link
