RE: Trivia Advent Calendar - J. Beckert - 12-02-2016 09:41 PM Tomorrow, Frau Eva, we put some grease in the pan and turn the heat up... RE: Trivia Advent Calendar - Eva Elisabeth - 12-03-2016 01:31 PM Herr Beckert is entertaining family, so the weekend is my turn. I'm afraid I can't level up to this German's brilliant charme and powerful language. Also I hope #3 won't underchallenge the knowledgeable members of this distinguished site - where is this, and how is it linked to the saga? [attachment=2460] RE: Trivia Advent Calendar - RJNorton - 12-03-2016 02:22 PM I will guess this is somewhere along JWB's escape route? RE: Trivia Advent Calendar - Thomas Kearney - 12-03-2016 02:28 PM It looks like the exterior of the Old Clubhouse used in the 2011 movie The Conspirator. RE: Trivia Advent Calendar - RJNorton - 12-03-2016 02:35 PM Or a spot where Lincoln stayed or spoke along the route of the inaugural train? RE: Trivia Advent Calendar - Eva Elisabeth - 12-03-2016 05:16 PM Three excellent ideas, I'm sorry neither is correct. RE: Trivia Advent Calendar - RJNorton - 12-03-2016 05:26 PM Is it a building on Illinois Eighth Judicial Circuit? RE: Trivia Advent Calendar - Eva Elisabeth - 12-03-2016 05:42 PM Excellent idea, Roger, but it's not in Illinois. Where are y'all? Hint #1: Try to a) narrow down locations (e.g.by state...) or b) guess on "whose/what kind of place". RE: Trivia Advent Calendar - RJNorton - 12-03-2016 05:44 PM OK. I'll guess the first location that comes to mind - Washington, D.C. RE: Trivia Advent Calendar - Eva Elisabeth - 12-03-2016 05:47 PM Excellent, Roger - you score in any case as this is the correct reply to the first part of my question. (I would give another point for the precise location!) Now - what about b)? RE: Trivia Advent Calendar - RJNorton - 12-03-2016 06:07 PM The Rathbone House at 712 Jackson Place? RE: Trivia Advent Calendar - J. Beckert - 12-03-2016 06:22 PM The Laird-Dunlop house in Georgetown. RTL lived there. Give my point to Roger, please. I'm very busy digging up another brain twister for when I come back to fill in. RE: Trivia Advent Calendar - Eva Elisabeth - 12-03-2016 06:57 PM Kudos, Joe - here's some info and a photo matching the season: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Laird-Dunlop_House (Not that Roger's efforts don't deserve all points possible, but where's your fighting spirit for the German team, Joe???) Laurie: 1 Thomas: 1 Roger: 2 (Germans: 0) Joe, you win at least a ride on the Xmas Tram (streetcar): [attachment=2461] RE: Trivia Advent Calendar - J.

The German team would be winning handily, Eva, but I can't guess on questions I post, so I'll have to recuse myself this year. I will maintain strict German discipline in your absence and make sure this year's Trivia Advent Champ earns it! Machen Sie sich bereit für Hell Woche nächste Woche!! RE: Trivia Advent Calendar - Eva Elisabeth - 12-04-2016 05:23 AM The early bird catches the worm - or the trivia point (which is way more worth it - who wants to get a worm???) What "worm" hides behind window #4? [attachment=2462] Please notice the image will show as soon as you log in! |
