I'm at a place that is not a town or city, but a famous location nonetheless...I think it must be a lucky place.

not Notre Dame, and not anywhere in Indiana....unless you meant Notre Dame College in Manchester, NH...I'm not in New Hampshire, either.

But this place just makes me feel so lucky.

Nope, I'm not in Ohio.


...and while I like that clover statue in Muskegon, I'm not there or anywhere in Michigan.


-----Added 20/8/2008 at 02 : 38 : 38-----
OK, see map below....along with other supporting clues I said I'm in a Great Lakes state, but not in Canada, Indiana, Wisconsin, Michigan, Minnesota, NY or Ohio...



So by the process of elimination and applying our best scientific methods, you might conclude that I am in......drum roll bbbbrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr....______________

From there, think of symbols of luck and you'll be on the right track.

Nope, not a horse track anywhere, not that kind of track. And the "luck" is not related to gambling of any sort. Think of a symbol for luck that you haven't mentioned yet and you'll be on the right track.
