Nope.
Hint #1 - it has the same name as a figure associated with the assassination.

The Parker House in Boston where JWB stayed.

Nice job, Roger! That is indeed the Parker House where Booth supposedly met with some Confederate higher ups. Except for a few benefits, he never acted again after his stay there. You are now the reigning TAC Champ!

I hope it's a sunnier (and warmer) day where you live than in Vienna - I'd like to be here now:

Where is Mr. Lincoln?
RE: Trivia Advent Calendar - RJNorton - 12-17-2016 05:35 AM
Based on the way you worded the question...can I assume this is not in the United States?
(Eva, where Vicki and I live...forecast highs for the next 3 days...87, 87, 85. Our local forecaster said a couple of records may be broken. But much of the USA is colder than normal right now.)

But you are right - it's not in the US. (But a place where I'd like to be contains another strong geographical hint to those who know me...).

Tunisia?
RE: Trivia Advent Calendar - Eva Elisabeth - 12-17-2016 12:18 PM
Ha - logical guess, Joe - I thought less specifically - of a rather southern coastal area. It's not in Tunisia.

Here's the weather forecast for Mr. Lincoln:

PS: Please try to think of yes/no questions - I will answer them.
This question obviously doesn't score...
Hint #1: The country is historically much "involved" in US history.

Is the location in Europe?
RE: Trivia Advent Calendar - L Verge - 12-17-2016 02:27 PM
Havana, Cuba?
RE: Trivia Advent Calendar - Thomas Kearney - 12-17-2016 03:50 PM
Los Angeles?
RE: Trivia Advent Calendar - Eva Elisabeth - 12-17-2016 04:41 PM
Good idea, Laurie (another place where I'd love to be now!!!), but Roger is on the right track. (Thomas, please re-read post #847!)
