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.

Another outstanding idea, Roger, but not correct either.

Hint#1: You are right as for the kind of facility.

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.)

Is this the place (after some extensive renovations) located in Franklin, Nebraska

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.
