Were you in Manhattan?
Yes!
A phone booth in Times Square?
Penn Station?
Scott's warmer!
Jacob Javits?
Jacob Javits? He's not here right now....
I think Scott's still warmest.
Is it the call center at the USO in Times Square?
Specifically at Port Authority in Times Square.
Sorry, Dolph. Scott is still warmest.
Are you on 32nd and Broadway?
Grand Central Station. There used to be a special bank of telephones there, a hold-over from when phoning was a singular act.
I think I'd still give Scott the warmness edge here.
Herald Center?
No, Debbie.
Remember: One can have the warmest guess so far...and still be lukewarm.
Is it a PATH station? For location, I'll say 14th street.
No, but you're getting warmer, Scott.
Is it the new loo way downtown?
Or ... how about the new Charmin loo at 46th Street and 7th Avenue?
No, Dolph--it's no new loo.
Is it back down in the South Street Seaport area?
Much warmer, Debbie.
The relatively new Staten Island ferry terminal?
26 Wall Street, the newly renovated Federal Hall Visitor Center?
Gary, you are correct! I was at the Staten Island Ferry Terminal (as part of my trip to the Staten Island Zoo) when I noticed the interior signage lining the building's interior. You can see two examples here.
As was the case with the old terminal, the new terminal also shelters some birds. I almost had a good shot of a bird in a water drinking fountain but I didn't quite pull it off.
Incidentally, it's a good thing that Manhattan was already ascertained. Otherwise we might've had a sticky hint situation.
One more thing: Take a look at
this page. Isn't the image a poor choice?
I can't believe I missed your blogging about my home boro. I immediately recognized your shots of the SI Zoo & the Manhattan side of the SI ferry terminal, but alas I haven't been reading your blog daily. A lesson learned! And why does the image of the ferry appear to be crashing??? How horrible...
