Are we looking for a city?

uncle phil 12-09-2008 02:32 PM

Psycho Dad 12-09-2008 05:08 PM

Would you say that someone in the midwest would recognize that city being in Florida if they heard it mentioned in conversation?

Tully Mars 12-09-2008 06:02 PM

zephyrhills?

BadNick 12-09-2008 09:21 PM

Fats?....are you in Miami at the Jackie Gleason Theater of the Performing Arts? ....or maybe at his gravesite at the mausoleum at Our Lady of Mercy Catholic Cemetery in Miami, Florida. "...Below the graceful Roman columns, at the base, is the inscription "And Away We Go..."

ok, clues so far:

city
in florida
think "minnesota..."

new clue:

rocky and bullwinkle...

BadNick 12-10-2008 08:26 AM

Frostproof, FL?

if not, can you give us a more specific clue?

uncle phil 12-10-2008 08:32 AM

you got it, nick...

Frostproof, Florida - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

BadNick 12-10-2008 08:41 AM

I used to watch all those Rocky & Bullwinkle cartoons but I would never have remembered that association...so it was just my wild guess looking at a map.

The old Rocky and Bullwinkle cartoons took place in the fictional town of Frostbite Falls, Minnesota. Well, at the other end of the country, and on the other end of the temperature scale, is a real town named Frostproof, Florida.

Famous people
Frostproof is the birthplace of NFL Free Agent Travis Henry.
Former Dallas Cowboys wide receiver, Alvin Harper was born in Frostproof.
Ben Hill Griffin, Jr., founder of the citrus empire, politician, and on the Forbes 400 in 1989.



OK, where in the world am I?

uncle phil 12-10-2008 09:15 AM

bentonville, arkansas?

Tully Mars 12-10-2008 09:58 AM

Tierra del Fuego?

BadNick 12-10-2008 10:05 AM

no to both of those, but I admire the "bold" guesses.

disclaimer: nothing in the sentence above is intended to be a clue

Tully Mars 12-10-2008 10:12 AM

NH?

BadNick 12-10-2008 10:13 AM

yes NH

Tully Mars 12-10-2008 10:23 AM

WH?

BadNick 12-10-2008 10:27 AM

yes WH

Once you home in on a more specific location, I'm in an unusual building that I hope you can guess.

Tully Mars 12-10-2008 10:31 AM

US?

uncle phil 12-10-2008 11:15 AM

located in a state bordering on an ocean?

BadNick 12-10-2008 12:00 PM

Yes in the U.S. but not in a state bordering an ocean, or even a lake or major river.

uncle phil 12-10-2008 04:04 PM

holy roller, batman...

east of mrs. sippy?

BadNick 12-10-2008 07:05 PM

First, please allow me to retract part of what I said above. The state I'm in does border on water but the town in which this building stands is not on any coast.

Yes I'm east of mrs. sippy.

Tully Mars 12-10-2008 07:15 PM

Border on the Atlantic?

BadNick 12-10-2008 07:17 PM

The state does not border the Atlantic....think lake.

Tully Mars 12-10-2008 07:19 PM

Lake Michigan?

BadNick 12-10-2008 09:12 PM

Nope...the state does not touch L. Michigan.

Tully Mars 12-11-2008 03:00 AM

One of the other great lakes?

uncle phil 12-11-2008 03:00 AM
