marmer Posted September 11, 2009 Share Posted September 11, 2009 You know the rules. If you know the answer, post a cryptic message and/or PM me. If not, guess wildly until someone blurts it out. No fair mining the photo info for clues. For those who care, proper captions and attribution will be forthcoming after the successful identification of the city. If I get around to it.

This reminds me I need to go to Buchanan's to restock some of the herbs that couldn't tke the July heat. Heh. Good one, Porch, or should I call you Sherlock? Want some tomato soup? Congrats to porTENT, officially the winner, honorable mention to Porchman. porTENT, start choosing your city. I'm going to leave this with one more image and let the rest of you keep guessing overnight. Tomorrow, time permitting, I'll post the answers. Good luck!
