Also my 175th post

Good work, man! You found the exact place. You're up!

Here we go!



Okay, another Google Street view picture, but we are not just guessing the road (This road does not have a route number, interstate number, just a name, but it is a major road)

I want to make these interesting, not just bring on a guessing game of roads, so I have a few questions that you have to answer to get the next turn.

-What is the name of this road?
-What city is this is?
-What was this city once the capital of?
-A scene from a famous movie series was filmed on the parallel road on the opposite side of the river, what movie was this?
-What road or highway is on the opposite side of the wall on the left side?
-What park is this in?

Your clue is that this road is closed on weekend days for recreational activity (Walking, biking, skating).

I hope you all do not mind this, I want to make this more then just a guessing game of roads this time around.

Good luck!

It looks like Hamilton, Ontario. beside the QEW in the Royal Botanical Gardens. idk the name of the road though

Nice guess, but not in Canada.

New England?

Not New England, but Northeastern U.S.

Philadelphia?

I'll tell you it is in Pennsylvania, but that's all you are getting in regards to pin pointing the exact location.

Columbus Avenue, in Philly?

I found it: https://maps.google.com/maps?q=Lancaster,+PA&hl=en&ll=39.967656,-75.189025&spn=0.003361,0.005284&sll=40.278101,-74.855808&sspn=0.004731,0.010568&oq=lancast&t=h&hnear=Lancaster,+Pennsylvania&z=18&layer=c&cbll=39.967656,-75.189025&panoid=axmCHlNcx-itgq_XM9NouA&cbp=12,318.65,,0,1.01

-What is the name of this road? W River Dr/ MLK Jr Drive
-What city is this is? Philadelphia
-What was this city once the capital of? Pennsylvania/US
-A scene from a famous movie series was filmed on the parallel road on the opposite side of the river, what movie was this? One of the Rocky movies, possibly Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen
-What road or highway is on the opposite side of the wall on the left side? Schuylkill Expressway
-What park is this in? Fairmount Park I believe

Dangit wrong river

Congrats CR

CR gets the win, and Philadelphia was once the capital of the US, the movie was Rocky, and everything else is right.

I assume another hard one is coming up?

Possibly hard. I might go for something easier this time though, or something similar to what you did. I've never seen any of the movies filmed in Philadelphia, so I had to go on the ones I'd heard of that were filmed in Fairmount Park or near there.

I'll put it up when I get the chance.

You have to know the area to recognize the scene from Rocky, but during the intro (Gonna Fly Now) with him running through Philadelphia, he runs on what is known as Kelly Drive (East River Drive), home of the famous Boat House Row. They are some nice roads to drive one (can be rough, and full of people doing all sorts of recreational things)

You can see the video of that scene here around 0:56.

I hope you all enjoyed your history lesson.

Well, this one will be a little bit easier than my last one. It will have some supplemental questions though XD



1. What Highway Number is this?
2. What is the name of this road?
3. What is the city up ahead?
4. What state is it part of?
5. What was this area formerly part of before it was merged in 1963?

Little Rock is the city I believe..

Little Rock it is not.
And I have all the questions fixed now XD

Okay, here is the street view and it's in Virginia, it is the skyline of Virginia Beach, it's US Highway 58, and it's called Virginia Beach Boulevard.

In 1963, Virginia Beach city split with Princess Anne county politically, but still was somewhat tired to the county. It currently is politically not in any county.

If I am correct (and it's my turn), I might not be able to post a picture until late tomorrow, sorry for the delay.

-Tom

Yep, you're correct enough XD

The pic is the skyline of "Downtowne," Virginia Beach's self-proclaimed commerical center and possible future home of the Sacramento Kings (I almost included that question) My profile picture is the Oceanfront. Highway and road are spot on. The history is, Virginia Beach had grown up as a small independent city along the coast of Princess Anne County, and was its own autonomous region after splitting sometime in the 50s. With the city of Norfolk threatening to take more land from Princess Anne County, Princess Anne County and Virginia Beach united in 1963 to form Virginia Beach today. Yep, you're up! And, out of curiosity, what led you to the answer?

Of all things, Wikipedia. The whole 1963 thing gave it away lol.

By the way in the future lets keep it at guessing the highway. If you ask say, what city, what crossroads, what movie it was in during the 60's, and what highway you're actually on, and someone gets the first three and someone gets the fourth one that is usually all that's needed, who wins?

The idea is nice but I don't think this is the right spot for it

I see your point K50, and I do agree that it could create some complications, but maybe a compromise? You can add optional questions that are not required to me answered to get it correct as long as you get the highway correct? I think we can keep the focus of this, while maybe adding a few little history lessons?

But back to the basics, what highway is this?
