"Where in North America?" --- Section IV

[Mark Sedenquist]

Okay, what and where is this?

Note - I had to wipe out the name on the front and side of the building.

If you remove the writing from the building, then what is the significance of this? I guess we're going to need a hint or two.

With palm tree, it could be Santa Monica or Florida?

No shirt, no shoes, no problem!

Hodads Burger Bar, San Diego.

Well known for its mean burger. On the beach front no shirt, no shoes, no problem is quite apt.

PS. Thanks for the web cam link to the new Hoover Dam bridge.

George, that was a great clue and Eris -- I continue to be truly amazed at the depth of your knowledge about places in the USA!

OK, let's get back outside....
Where is this? When was it built? And why?

That is the Eiffel Tower in Paris TN.

Engineering students at Christian Brothers University originally constructed the tower to commemorate the 1990 Memphis in May festival. Each year, the festival honors a country, and 1990 focused on France.

I'm not a fan of the Wikipedia -- but here's an explanation that seems reasonable...

This bridge is in the US, but may be off topic for this thread. Do you know where it is?

With that hint, it's probably in Hawaii somewhere.

[Mark Sedenquist]

I think GLC might be correct about his guess in Hawaii -- and yeah, technically that's beyond the purview of this topic because it's tough to drive there from the mainland. But that banking looks insane -- if that's true -- how'd you liked to be in the other lane (driving towards the camera) in a rainstorm? Yikes!
