NEW GAME - "Where am I?"
This might be kinda fun for the local members. If you are out on the town , take a pic of the MC and post it as a "Where am I" thread. See who can correctly name the location most often!
I will start.
Taken this past Saturday......

Excuse the quality of the picture. Taken with my iPhone.
And also, if this is too difficult, let me know, and I will give a hint.

Hmm...... I recognize the building in the background (270/Manchester I believe), but I am having a hard time placing your location.
I will guess. Is it parking lot of West County Center? It is different now, however I notice the date on the picture was in 05.
Am I close?

You are very close
Think kitty-corner. We had a car show there. And yes it is a parking lot. And no it's still the same place.

It's not the Arctic, nor is it anywhere around here, but it is looking out at the 10th biggest lake in the world.

I think you have to POST where it is, not just that you know
Hey John, how goes the famous daughter
? Oh, and was the blue ink the same colour as you MINI's

The parking lot of Adam's church on Ballas and Manchester (?)
(She's fine. And the ink is more Indy Blue than Electric Blue
)

Another hint;

Clue #1: 10th largest lake in the world. It could be either Great Bear (9th largest) or Great Slave (11th largest). According to the interweb, the 10th largest lake is Lake Nyasa in Africa-and I think that's a lot of snow and ice for Africa.
Clue #2: Looking a little east of Gimli. It could be Lake Winnepeg, the world's 13th largest lake.
Is this a multiple choice quiz?

I guess it depends on when the list was created. Maybe things changed after this "Global Warming" thing started. That would also explain the difference in the two pictures of the lake.
