Where in the world is CasaSoho? Contest

[CasaSoho]

In my business/pleasure travels I have taken many of pictures around this great country. Below you will find a collection of some of my forgetable. Although, far from memorizing, they should provide you with just enough information to figure out where I took them.

The task: Identify the 7 cities/towns by clues provided in the following pictures.

The rules: Each correctly identified city/town matched with the corresponding set of photos is worth 1pt. for photo sets no.1-6, 2pts. for photo set no.7. The winner will have accumulated the most points with 1 guess/post, no edits by the time I reach my 600th post. In the event of a tie, please include a tiebreaker of the date and time (EST) I will make the 600th post. My decisions are final.

The prize: A 5'er to include (3) Tatuaje Havana VI Nobles, plus (2) other cigars of my selection.

7)Worth 2 points

You took all the photo's from your place in Southampton, MA. Being a recluse, you used the internet to get photo's of these places - then took a picture of your monitor.

Did I win?!

Wrong, sir! Wrong! Under section 37B of the contract signed by him, it states quite clearly that all offers shall become null and void if - and you can read it for yourself in this photostatic copy - "I, the undersigned, shall forfeit all rights, privileges, and licenses herein and herein contained," et cetera, et cetera..."Fax mentis incendium gloria cultum," et cetera, et cetera..."Memo bis punitor delicatum!" It's all there, black and white, clear as crystal! You stole fizzy lifting drinks. You bumped into the ceiling which now has to be washed and sterilized, so you get nothing! You lose! Good day sir!


Actually, I did take all of these photos with the same digital camera beginning in 2004. Looking back over the photos they should all be easy to find out with simple internet searches with the exception of no.5. So get your lazy ass to searching.

edit: no.5 not no.6

To clarify my instructions as they are not really that clear. The first to identify all seven wins, no tie-breaker, no 600th post, contest over. The tie-breaker and 600th post only come in to play if all 7 are not identified. In that scenario, you are not allowed to just copy and paste the entry of someone else and guess a new tiebreaker. You must have a unique set of 7 guesses.

Nobody has scored the max 8pts. yet, I guess the Where in the World is CasaSoho contest will continue on until somebody does...

6 more?

BTW- There is no tie at the moment so the tiebreaker wouldn't be necessary.


2nd edit: Last chance to enter, I'm 1 post away.

600th post, the time has come. Well, where was I?...

1)Flushing, NY ... If you didn't get this one right I would have sent you a chocolate blunt.
2)Everyone nailed Vegas, as AngryFishH mentioned; taken inside of the Luxor.
3)There seem to be some confusion here. I have never been to Cooperstown, that golden baseball giant sits outside of the home of the Philadelphia Phillies. The grave with all the pennies on it; that is the burial site of Ben Franklin.
4)Only so many cities that have Giant Pandas. If you guessed I saw this one at the National Zoo in D.C., you were right.
5)The hardest of the photo sets. This picture was taken from my room at the Marriott in Toronto. You have to look close to see a Canadian flag in one of the pictures.
6)Chicago it is, a yahoo! search of "67 East Madison" would have told you that. It's in the diamond district; I bought my wife's engagement ring diamond at the top of this building. The fireworks were after a Whitesox game at U.S. Cellular field.
7)The final picture worth 2 points is of the skyline of my beloved Boston. I love that place no matter what AngryFishH thinks! It was taken from the parking garage of the Museum of Science.

How did you do?
5pts. Grateful1, bfreeburn
4pts. AngryFishH, AVB
3pts. Wasy

and the winner with 7 pts. ....

If you wouldn't mind sharing, I would be interested to know what gave some of the locations away. In particular; Philly, DC, and Chicago.

Thanks for playing.

 

[KeyserSoze]

Thanks CasaSoho! That was fun. 1 was a given. 2 I can't tell you how many times I've stayed at the luxor. 3 I remember seeing at a philly game. I think there was a guy sliding below that statue. 4 I googled with the lion statue . 5 I had no clue. 6 I googled the night stadium pic by the billboards. 7 was a toughy but I think I also googled city skylines to try and match up the buildings in the back.

Edit: And Congrats on your 600th post!
