We make our own rules here. :cool: That and this street is a one way. I hadn't even thought of that when I put this photo up. I'm glad I could throw you guys off for a moment.

[BmanH]

New York City?

Yes

[Roy Mathers]

Is the building notable in any way?

[vk2gwk]

Never trust first impressions... :) Is this in Manhattan?

[BmanH]

It sure is. I wouldn't put up some random apartment building.

Yes it is.

East or West of Broadway?

Excellent question. It is neither East or West of Broadway.

[Heath]

I do not know the name of this building but now I remember where I have seen it.

There is a lot of controversy from the neighborhood because the lights never go off and it drives the neighbors crazy.

Is it a library? I think it has something to do with a school.

[Picass0]

New York Law School at W. Broadway and Leonard St.

If I'm right, someone who isn't about to go to sleep can post the next WAIN.

Good night all!

You are right. I've never seen the lights off on this building. It is a school.

New York Law School at W. Broadway and Leonard St.

If I'm right, someone who isn't about to go to sleep can post the next WAIN.

Good night all!

Yes, it's the New York Law School. I guess it's open to the first taker I suppose.

[Roy Mathers]

Allow me to step in and take up the slack:)

[hqqns]

Is there anything notorious here?

[Roy Mathers]

Notorious? :) No.

[hqqns]

So is this a pure guessing WAIN or is there any detective way to find this place (other than the number 21)?

[Roy Mathers]

You would use the same techniques as most other people on this thread do.
