The San Remo Co-op Apartment Building at 145 Central Park West


http://www.thecityreview.com/uws/cpw/cpw145.html

You got it! The building is visible from Central Park and I intentionally didn't put up both towers to make it less obvious. FYI, past and present residents include Tiger Woods, Steven Spielberg, Donna Karan, Steve Jobs, and Bono.

Over to you, Jim.

[Narwhal]

I'll bet they have some cool parties there?

What and where? WAIN?

[sparkin]

Thanks. I have a feeling Sean was throwing us all a bone on this one.


Yes, sorry about that - I was called away on a honey-do job. Oh well, life goes on, as does WAIN.

No, Tom.

[BmanH]

Athens?

[Roy Mathers]

Europe?

[vk2gwk]

Athens?

Not in Athens - but you are getting closer Berman - and thus yes for Europe.

[BmanH]

Greece?

[vk2gwk]

Greece?
Greece, yes .

[Roy Mathers]

Mainland or island?

[vk2gwk]

Mainland or island?
Mainland. (And btw... Athens was pretty close... :) )

[Roy Mathers]

A suburb of Athens?

[vk2gwk]

A suburb of Athens?

I am not sure if this is a suburb of Athens, but it is pretty close....

[BmanH]

Close as in within 20km?

[vk2gwk]

Close as in within 20km?
Yes.

[vk2gwk]

Good night, all!

It looks like this one, identified by the first filename as "portoleone", which seems to fit - but is the port really called Piraeus ?

Sean, it can't be since Piraeus is a part of Athens (its port) and Henk already said it's not in Athens ;)

[sparkin]

Sean, it can't be since Piraeus is a part of Athens (its port) and Henk already said it's not in Athens ;)

:shock:

[Roy Mathers]

It's funny but when I first saw the picture, something told me it was near the sea. I have no reason to believe that - it was just a feeling. So Sean it may well be right. We'll have to wait and see.

Don't get me wrong, I'm pretty sure that's the same lion...was just being my usual sarcastic self...

[vk2gwk]

Sean got it right. It is on the waterfront in the port of Piraeus. As I said above I am not sure if Piraeus is a suburb of Athens or in Athens. When we were there I was told it was a seperate town but it is very close to Athens (less than 20 km). Also wikipedia (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Piraeus) says it is a separate municipality.

Over to you, Sean!

It is on the waterfront and the people waving are waving at our cruise ship departing... :)

UK?

UK yes ...

if UK, somewhere in London?

but not London.

Nice job Ken. I guess you've figured out that all I've got in the far east is Taiwan... for now. :) I'll give it to ya but can you tell me the name of the building though?

[glhs509]

Sorry - day from hell! I intended to post properly for Roy's WAIN this morning, but got bogged down with non-cooperative x-ray machines.

Great job on Berman's WAIN Ken.

At least you can always unplug the x-ray machine...Hard to do that to a boss/client without getting incarcerated :)

And to keep things moving...WAIN?

It is the Netherlands, but not Northeast of Westland (I presume you are referring to the glass house area West of Rotterdam).
Correction... to be exact, it is just about Northeast of that area.... :)
