"Where in North America?" -- Section I

Cor, it's Bin a long time since I posted the Kentucky fried chicken photo... no guesses? Come on, who'll be the First???

[AZBuck]

There are over 5000 KFC franchises in the United States alone! What makes that one special?

Guess.

Corbin KY.

Re-arrange these words:

:)

Yes, it is Sanders Cafe in Corbin, Kentucky. The very first Kentucky Fried Chicken store in the world. (and also a seriously busy one these days!!)

Okay a new one.

I was gonna go with this but then thought it'd be just a tad rude!



So, how about this one instead? (if anyone can get the first one I will personally buy them a pint!)



PS No pint for guessing the second one!

[Mark Sedenquist]

I've certainly see that winter view a bunch of times (or, at least one very similar). Wyoming, North Dakota, even I-25 on the eastern slope of the Rockies can look like that.

Dry Tortugas for the beach scene perchance?

I think the quest for the location of the first photo could run and run... which is a shame as I think I owe you a couple of pints (of Alaskan Amber?!)

And, yes, the latter is indeed in Dry Tortugas NP. Taken from the loading dock as the second (and final) ferry departs for the evening and heads back to Key West leaving me and a handful of others on our own 'desert island'! A great feeling... only spoiled when that damn ferry return the next morning and spewed a whole boat load of tourists onto MY island!!

Anyway...

another for those coaster fans

[Mark Sedenquist]

I gotta get back to work but....

Could it be Kings Island Park in Kings Mills, Ohio?

Joel Rogers has created what is arguably the best coaster photo gallery on the web....

[UKCraig]

No, way further south...

[Mass Tim]

Ah yes - I remember trying to get the same shot in 2005 and being chased off by a diminutive security guard who proceeded to mumble something about private property and security concerns... I guess I wasn't supposed to tell the world about a 40-floor office building!

[Mark Sedenquist]

We had a similar experience -- It does seem a bit peculiar that one can't take a photo there.
