Posted June 24, 200519 yr Post your links here, when someone guesses it without cheating it is there turn to return the favor and post another Google Maps link. I will start out with an easy one. (The hint is WTF were they thinking?) http://maps.google.com/maps?ll=39.194552,-84.475411&spn=0.007199,0.010664&t=k&hl=en
June 26, 200519 yr Since the title of thread requires Cincy locations, I'll stay there. http://maps.google.com/maps?ll=39.166646,-84.430103&spn=0.020943,0.030427&t=k&hl=en My clue - It's worse than Paddock and I-75.
June 26, 200519 yr There is a third component to the complex there. Please identify it as well. (I don't mean to be a hard-ass, I just think giving more specific answers might save this thread (or I could be wrong).
June 26, 200519 yr Without Eigth and State's hint I don't know that I could have gotten it. Once I zoomed in I can make that cluster out real well. Are you looking for Ridge Ave and the Center of Cincinnati built by Vandercar?
June 26, 200519 yr I like how Google let's you use the arrow keys to scan all of greater Cincinnati. I was comparing the location to where the Ohio River is. It makes for a nice fly-by.
June 26, 200519 yr Without Eigth and State's hint I don't know that I could have gotten it. Once I zoomed in I can make that cluster out real well. Are you looking for Ridge Ave and the Center of Cincinnati built by Vandercar? Yeah. Now can someone put the two answers in a single post....if someone wants to choose the next map for us to guess at.
June 26, 200519 yr Your funny... I-71/Norwood Lateral/Ridge Avenue and Center of Cincinnati Here is the next one: http://maps.google.com/maps?ll=39.335593,-84.524496&spn=0.007199,0.010664&t=k&hl=en
June 26, 200519 yr There's no place quite like it. http://maps.google.com/maps?ll=39.105384,-84.553292&spn=0.005901,0.006115&t=k&hl=en
June 27, 200519 yr Moonloop, you are correct, but Grasscat got the words I was looking for. Your turn, Grasscat.
June 27, 200519 yr this is a fun game! too bad the only one i've been able to identify is jungle jim's :lol: c'mon grasscat, get the next one going!
June 27, 200519 yr http://maps.google.com/maps?ll=39.266617,-84.521899&spn=0.025277,0.036263&t=k&hl=en (zoom to 3rd notch down)
June 27, 200519 yr http://maps.google.com/maps?q=Cincinnati,+OH&ll=39.162483,-84.837112&spn=0.022960,0.031672&t=k&hl=en I have been to this area of town a few time doing pest control, have any of you .. ;)
June 28, 200519 yr ^ I cheated. And I was wrong! So I'll remove myself from this one. This one gets a high difficulty level, definitely.
June 28, 200519 yr atlas you got it..lol Not many people know about that place. it's amazing to see the lake from on top of the hills and homes.
June 28, 200519 yr Yea, it is a cool view. That neighborhood has some nice homes in there. Also, I am from Harrison and this place is practically right next door, so I know a bunch of people my age that live there that went to our rival school, East Central. Also, I have been to the Willy's there a few times recently. Anyway, looks like its my turn so here we go. I hope this isn't too easy or too difficult, I really have no clue! http://maps.google.com/maps?q=cincinnati&ll=39.254022,-84.739265&spn=0.021930,0.031586&t=k&hl=en POSTED BY montecarloss: Atlas, I modified your posts to clean up the multiple errors. It should be right now.
June 28, 200519 yr OK, so I guess that was too easy. I was sticking with the west side theme with that one. Your turn,8th and state, and thanks montecarloss
June 28, 200519 yr http://maps.google.com/maps?q=cincinnati&ll=39.145038,-84.374442&spn=0.005901,0.006115&t=k&hl=en
June 28, 200519 yr Was I right? I believe I was but didn't want to continue until the map poster confirmed.
June 28, 200519 yr Yes, it is Mariemont. The street pattern is unmistakable, although some of it is obscured by trees in the satellite view. Your turn, Montecarlos.
June 28, 200519 yr ^ Well I do know my "EAST SIDE" ;) Ok I am looking for the exact name of this facility. And please no panning around the map on this one else it will give it away real quick. http://maps.google.com/maps?q=cincinnati&ll=39.085922,-84.430554&spn=0.007886,0.010664&t=k&hl=en
June 28, 200519 yr I actually killed an yellow jackets nest inside one of the boats there. It made under one of the seats.
June 28, 200519 yr This is too much fun. http://maps.google.com/maps?q=cincinnati&ll=39.168298,-84.526212&spn=0.005901,0.006115&t=k&hl=en
June 28, 200519 yr That has to be Spring Grove Cemetery. I'd recognize the lakes and the curvilinear roads anywhere.
June 29, 200519 yr Spring Grove Cemetary it is. Spring Grove was Cincinnati's first park-like open space, run by a nonprofit corporation but open to the public with limited restrictions. Adolph Strauch was hired at Spring Grove's landscape gardener in 1854. By 1875 he had expanded the grounds to 594 acres, including large areas of woodland preserve. He transformed swampy areas around the original cemetary core into five acres of spring-fed picturesque lakes. Frederick Law Olmstead proclaimed Spring Grove the best cemetary in the United States from a landscape gardening point of view. Source: Queen City Heritage, Volume I, Spring 1993. Your turn, grasscat.
June 29, 200519 yr Wow I was stumped and I tryed real hard not to cheat so I was clueless. Isn't it called Spring Grove Cemetary and Arboretum?
June 29, 200519 yr ^ Yep. They have a ton of different varieties of trees, including some that are "state champion" and "national champion" trees, whatever that means. I recommend a visit, definitely. Spring is best but it's pretty nice year-round. Okay, here's mine: http://maps.google.com/maps?ll=39.022579,-84.567175&spn=0.012639,0.018132&t=k&hl=en (zoom 2nd notch down)
June 29, 200519 yr Nice job, I see I am no match for the natives on some of these. I didn't have a clue although I have been by Thomas More College.
June 29, 200519 yr Ok, I will let some others play for a while. To keep things moving, here's the next one. To appreciate the magnitude of this, zoom out. It aint pretty. http://maps.google.com/maps?ll=39.278870,-84.598675&spn=0.023603,0.024462&t=k&hl=en
