Geek Contest

[Hurricane Ditka 0]

Just for kicks let's see how well traveled some of you geeks are. Plus I know how you geeks love to play games.

 

Here are 7 photos that are all locations in the United States. I have taken all of these pictures. You must name the place or city of each picture to score a point. You get one shot. Most points wins. Some of these are tough so I don't expect anyone to go 7/7.

You were the drunk focker I was talking about....

 

 

My mom used to live about 2 blocks from the old stadium on 9th and Sinclair. Spent many a day while visiting in the summer going to Tribe games(back then it was kind of easy to get tickets). Went to a few Browns games too.

Municipal Stadium was like a ghost town for Tribe games through the 70's and 80's as I was growing up. The stadium held over 80,000 but a Tribe game would draw about 5-8k (unless there was a special event). You would go and buy the cheapest ticket, then sit wherever you wanted.

Nope, Fannette Island in Lake Tahoe's Emerald Bay.

 

The little house on there is called "The Tea House." The old lady that lived in the nearby Vikingsholm castle would go out there for tea sometimes.

#1 I live about 90 minutes away from.

#2 Was up in Fairbanks, AK for work. Too cold and North Pole (a tourist spot) was stupid!

#4 We lived in Folsom, CA (home of TNG) for 2 years and were weekend Tahoe camping junkies.

#5 Will never miss a Bears Super Bowl... That was incredible.

#6 Napa, CA is a great place to vacation. Although I prefer the Washington wine.

#7 Cleveland ~ Most Obvious ~ needed a freebie.

I agree. Its the stupides tourist spot ever. But did you check out Chena Hot Spring (about 1hr north of Fairbanks) while you were there? That place is the sh*t!

Try, Two Mountain Winery and Portteus Winery.

 

As a wine lover,,, these are two of the best places I have been too. Great wine by very dedicated winemakers who only care about quality.

[Bier Meister 1,532]

both very solid.

[AmbassadorOfKwan 0]

I lived across the street from Santa Claus' house in North Pole, AK for a little over a year. You are right, its colder than all get out there.

You're right. I was just a kid when she lived there. Loved Baseball though, so me and my brother would go there to Municipal just about everyday when we visited her. How's this for funny, the first couple of times we went we actually sat in the seats assigned by the tickets, took us until the 3rd time to realize that nobody gave a damn where we sat, course we were just kids back then.

 

Sad, back then, you could give a couple of kids a few bucks and let em walk to a b-ball game by themselves and not worry to much...now if you did that you would probably go to jail for reckless endangerment of your children.

 

Visited my Grandparents a few years back for their 50th and went to the new stadium. Great place to watch a game.
