[thomascanty]

Paris?

[SoccerRef]

Dresden?

Sorry...

Paris?

How do you say "no" in French?

Murano Island Venice

Bueno! The glass figurines were crafted by glass blowers on Murano Island, and they were on display in a glass shop in Venice! Excellent Forno!

Now, just a piece of information that will make that photo all the more impressive. Every piece of that orchestra was hand made from TINY pieces of glass. Every musician you see could sit on half of your average stamp. The lantern in the foreground is not even 2 inches tall! It was a simply amazing piece of art.

[forno]

Pretty amazing craftsmanship on that little island

Here we go

Yes, America

[Lawrie B]

[Chelan1074]

Historically yes

[short5]

Great Falls Va.?

[Chelan1074]

No, but you are within 250 miles

[Lawrie B]

Harrisburg?

[Lawrie B]

Delaware?

[Lawrie B]

Richmond?

[Lawrie B]

Lynchburg?

[Roy Mathers]

Presumably someone famous lived there?

[ducko]

I'm guessing that a battle took place there. It looks like something around Manassas or Leesburg.

[Chelan1074]

Harrisburg?

No

Delaware?

No

Richmond?

No

Lynchburg?

No

Presumably someone famous lived there?

Yes

I'm guessing that a battle took place there. It looks like something around Manassas or Leesburg.

Not a battle but soldiers were there.

[Roy Mathers]

?Harpers Ferry?

[zippy25]

So, is this in Virginia, or do we need to go a different direction for the 250 miles?

[Chelan1074]

?Harpers Ferry?

No

So, is this in Virginia, or do we need to go a different direction for the 250 miles?

Not Virginia

[Roy Mathers]

Valley Forge?

[Chelan1074]

Valley Forge?

What building?

[zippy25]

I think Roy might be right, more specifically George Washington's headquarters at Valley Forge

[MSJGD]

You’re right zippy

[Chelan1074]

I think Roy might be right, more specifically George Washington's headquarters at Valley Forge

I was thinking of Washingtons Headquarters, but if you want to give it to Roy thats ok.

[zippy25]

Zippys up
Thanks Chelan, but I am going to have to pass it back to the all powerful Roy Mathers. I don't have one to post from work...so, since Roy narrowed down to Valley Forge (I suspect that he probably knew the answer anyhow), then I will give him the honors of posting...;)

[Roy Mathers]

Thank you zippy (all powerful - oh:D) - here's my next offering.

[MSJGD]

California?
