yes USA

uncle phil · 11-03-2008, 12:48 PM

east of mrs. sippy?

BadNick · 11-03-2008, 01:31 PM

yes, east of that wet miss.

uncle phil · 11-03-2008, 01:34 PM

in a landlocked state?

BadNick · 11-03-2008, 06:40 PM

Not in a landlocked state. In fact, I'm right next to some water.

uncle phil · 11-04-2008, 03:18 AM

atlantic water?

BadNick · 11-04-2008, 04:43 AM

not atlantic water

uncle phil · 11-04-2008, 05:03 AM

mississippi?

BadNick · 11-04-2008, 10:02 AM

Not the missus.

uncle phil · 11-04-2008, 10:27 AM

that leaves alabama...

ok, a city in alabama?

BadNick · 11-04-2008, 03:49 PM

nope, not in alabama.

unc, you lost me with your "conclusion". I'm east of the miss, not landlocked, not on atlantic waters, and not on the Miss. River. But that leaves a lot of other possible fresh water locations in coastal states. So I could be in a state the touches the Atlantic Ocean, but the water I'm next to is not the ocean.

uncle phil · 11-04-2008, 04:24 PM

my mis-whatever...

i presume that landlocked is not bordering on an ocean...at least, that's how i give my clues...

and you said not in a landlocked state...

BadNick · 11-04-2008, 05:50 PM

correct...not landlocked, the state I'm in touches the Atlantic Ocean....but I'm next to some fresh water in that state.

uncle phil · 11-05-2008, 03:47 AM

BadNick · 11-05-2008, 04:36 AM

yes NY

uncle phil · 11-05-2008, 04:38 AM

a city?

BadNick · 11-05-2008, 04:42 AM

I'm in a city but I'm wanting you to find the specific place I am in that city...it's a relatively large (bigger than one building) public space.

uncle phil · 11-05-2008, 04:49 AM

in new york city?

BadNick · 11-05-2008, 06:44 AM

yes sir unc, NYC...right next to the water.

I love this place and try to get there if I'm in town for more than a couple days. It's an island of beauty, peace and serenity in an otherwise bouncing-off-the-walls-full-of-energy place...or BOTWFOE for short.

uncle phil · 11-05-2008, 08:29 AM

battery park?

BadNick · 11-05-2008, 08:33 AM

not battery park...you gotta go about 12 miles up the river.

uncle phil · 11-05-2008, 08:38 AM

van cortlandt park?

BadNick · 11-05-2008, 12:08 PM

nope, not v.c. park....I'm close enough to the Hudson River that I can literally throw a stone into the river and the word "park" is not in the description of this place.

Think more along the lines of museum.

uncle phil · 11-05-2008, 12:45 PM

the museum of the city of new york?

BadNick · 11-05-2008, 08:18 PM

Nope, wrong museum. I'm about 5 miles farther north up river, right on the river (ie, next to it, not in the river). Take another shot and then I'll start dropping heavier clues.

Paladin · 11-06-2008, 01:31 AM

are you at the Hudson River Maritime Museum

uncle phil · 11-06-2008, 03:39 AM

the museum of art and origins?

BadNick · 11-06-2008, 04:37 AM

Not at the Hudson River Maritime or the Museum of Art & Origins.

OK, here's a huge clue: unicorn

uncle phil · 11-06-2008, 04:40 AM

oh, shit...the cloisters?

BadNick · 11-06-2008, 04:50 AM

a haaa...yes the Cloisters! I love that place. It's right on the Hudson River just above the George Washington Bridge. I highly recommend spending at least a few hours here if you haven't already.

OK, unc. You're up...go hide.

The Cloisters is the branch of the Metropolitan Museum of Art dedicated to the art and architecture of the European Middle Ages. The Cloisters is located in New York City, USA, specifically Fort Tryon Park near the northern tip of Manhattan island on a hill overlooking the Hudson River. The Cloisters include the museum building and the adjacent 4 acres (16,000 m²).

Collection
The Cloisters collection contains approximately five thousand European medieval works of art, with a particular emphasis on pieces dating from the twelfth through the fifteenth centuries.

Among the famous works of art held at the Cloisters are seven south Netherlandish tapestries depicting The Hunt of the Unicorn, Robert Campin's Mérode Altarpiece, and the Romanesque altar cross known as the Cloisters Cross or Bury St. Edmunds Cross, which was acquired under the curatorship of Thomas Hoving. The Cloisters also holds many medieval manuscripts and illuminated books, including the Limbourg brothers' Les Belles Heures du Duc de Berry and Jean Pucelle's book of hours for Jeanne d'Evreux.

The building housing the collection is itself a work of medieval art. It is a composite structure, incorporating elements from five medieval French cloisters: Saint-Michel-de-Cuxa, Saint-Guilhem-le-Désert, Bonnefont-en-Comminges, Trie-en-Bigorre, and Froville. These disassembled European buildings were reassembled in Fort Tryon Park (1934/38) in a setting with gardens planted according to horticultural information culled from various medieval documents and artifacts. Notable works of architecture include the Cuxa cloister, with an adjacent Chapter House; and the Fuentidueña Apse from a chapel in the province of Segovia (Castilla y León, Spain).
