RE: Trivia Advent Calendar
Thanks, Eva. The key was here. I googled the weather for a bunch of European cities, and the closest to what you posted was Lisbon.

RE: Trivia Advent Calendar
Another excellent guess, Roger, but, sorry, not in Washington.
Hint #2: It's in one of Lincoln's "homestates". (It was - since turned down in 2005.) |

RE: Trivia Advent Calendar
Is this the place (after some extensive renovations) located in Franklin, Nebraska
https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/c...from_E.JPG So when is this "Old Enough To Know Better" supposed to kick in? |

RE: Trivia Advent Calendar
Another outstanding research, Gene, but not the place either. To clarify - "homestate" was supposed to mean that Abraham Lincoln had lived (not just boarded) in the respective state.
Hint #3: Members who especially lately followed the forum attentively and thoroughly are much in advantage. Hint #4: Abraham Lincoln and another protagonist were said having stayed there at least once. |
