Here's one that could be easy - or not. What is it and where was this photo taken from?
(Photo Edited to blur text that would give it away.)
Wild guess - Olympic Stadium in Montreal, taken from the tower that held the old removable roof up?
Nope, but you're pretty close for a first guess.
Okay - the Rogers Centre (Skydome) from the CN Tower?
Off topic - are you all dug out yet?
OK, Let's see if I can jog Michael's memory !!
Looks like I missed the response - but yes, that is correct.
More specifically, that's looking straight down at the Skydome from the glass bottomed floor portion of the CN Tower.
And yes, I am dug out. We got about 20 inches, but the wind was the thing that really made it a nasty storm. I left the Garage Door open, and that was enough to have the Front Windshield (facing the back wall) of my car covered in several inches of snow!
And you left the door open because, you were concerned that if it was closed, you couldn't open it again? Or?Quote:

I had to put my chains on to get my truck out of my driveway and down the alley last week - the last time I put chains on a vehicle was about 40 years ago. I'm still parked out in the street. Joplin snow removal is quite an oxymoron.
I took this back in August...
where and what?
This thread has been dead for too long !
We need a clue Pfemm. Lol !
In the mean time if anyone wants to post one up, let's be having you !
Resurrecting a somewhat quiet thread....

1. Where is this?
2. How long has it been here?
(hint: it is found on Route 66)
Mark
Are you going to tell us?
Seems obvious no one who has seen this thread knows.... and I am curious.
(Have a couple of my own, I might post.)

Nope, not without some guesses...Quote:

And you can post your own "Where in North America is this" photos even if this one is not solved yet.

Bear Alignment Shop
143 W ARROW HWY
GLENDORA, CA
The clue was the motto. I just so happened to have a Bear Alignment shop on a corner near where I grew up.
AZBuck
And Bear Alignment was THE alignment for many years. It doesn't have the same reputation it used to have. I thought someone might remember the slogan and congrats to you for being the first to seize it.
That structure provided shade and shelter for the rain and can accommodate ~ 8 different alignment racks. I've never seen one like this before. Most places could only afford one or two Bear Alignment bays.
Do you know how long this location has been in use (question #2)?
Great Job!
OK, a new one. I've always liked bridges, do you recognize this one?

1. Where is this?
2. What is the name of the canyon the bridge is crossing?
3. What is directly upstream from this location?
Hint: It's found in California
That is one I have not seen... probably on a road I have not travelled.
Lifey
San Gabriel Canyon between Azusa and Wrightwood?
Attachment 3179
Where is this?
...should not be an excuse. Using all the information available, in particular the filename of the jpg image (Is that cheating?), I did a little research and found this to be one of the murals at Wynwood Walls in Miami.

Gen, that's a good guess -- the road dates from the same period, but this is a few miles to the west!Quote:

Argh, I didn't realize the name of the file appeared in the thread:). It is not visible when I look at it.Quote:

Didn't you get my private message?Quote:

Maybe someplace in British Columbia? I think we need some clues. Perhaps Nelson?Quote:

One more : It's located in a National Park in the Province of Quebec. That park is great for rafting and kayaking.
It was just by the side of the road. There is a yellow board there, explaining its whys and wherefores.

This thread has not been active since June 24, 2010 and I found a photo -- while working on another assignment that I thought might be a perfect way to revive this "game."
Thousands of kids and a few hundred adults stand in the very spot every year. Where is this?

Can it have been that long?
Dunno; Rose Center in NYC?

Wow, it's good to see this back and up and running.
Is this an annual childrens charity balloon release kinda deal ? Hmm, not even sure if they are balloons. Been digging around but can't find anything to help locate it, we might need a another clue, connected to that building maybe.
Dave.
California Science Center??
Not that I've ever been, but I kind of remember seeing photos of it that looked like that. I might be wrong though. (Wherever I travel, if I have the time, I always try to visit a science museum/center - usually very cool places.)
Subman
Excellent work Subman!
Yes, it is the atrium at the California Science Center in LA. It connects the IMAX theater with the main museum.
And those cylinder objects "look" like balloons -- but they are fixed in place as art.
I was there a couple of weeks ago to see the Pompeii exhibit.
Mark
Yes!! It's nice to see that some parts of my ever-vanishing memory capacity still remain in place.
Now, as for the prize... Please note that I don't take cheques. (Only joking : )
Would you recommend a visit to this place, on our trip next year? And do you know of any other cool/interesting science museums/centers/parks out in the West (of St. Louis - before that, I doubt we'll have the time)? In the general direction of St. Louis - Denver - Las Vegas - LA - SF?
Thanks.
Subman
The Pompii exhibit is there now -- not sure if it will still be there next year -- here is the link you can see.
But the space shuttle exhibit is very, very cool. And the rest of the museum is free to visit and has some pretty amazing stuff. So... yes, I would recommend it.
One of my favorite museums is the Clark County Museum in Henderson, Nevada. And, of course, Hoover Dam. Here is a link about a recent post I made about visiting those places.
Cove Fort is an odd sort of "history" -- worth stopping just to "witness" a little hard to imagine that this is a state museum....
I'll add a few more in a bit.
By the way, I've created a new thread continuing this theme of "Where in North America is this?"
