Tomorrow, Frau Eva, we put some grease in the pan and turn the heat up...

RE: Trivia Advent Calendar
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?

I will guess this is somewhere along JWB's escape route?

It looks like the exterior of the Old Clubhouse used in the 2011 movie The Conspirator.

Or a spot where Lincoln stayed or spoke along the route of the inaugural train?

Three excellent ideas, I'm sorry neither is correct.

RE: Trivia Advent Calendar
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
OK. I'll guess the first location that comes to mind - Washington, D.C.

RE: Trivia Advent Calendar
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)?

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.

Kudos, Joe - here's some info and a photo matching the season:

(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):

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!!

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?
