Unidentified Earth #53
OK! After my most recent round of hints, I think we’ve finally pegged UIs 49 and 50. Number 49 is the FAA Credit Union on Aviation Boulevard in Los Angeles, near LAX. A credit union, you ask? As an Unidentified … Continue reading
Unidentified Earth #52
OK, the general consensus on UI’s 49 and 50 is that I may have taken too perverse a pleasure in coming up with tough ones. I’m still not giving up the game, but more hints: the building seen in UI … Continue reading
Unidentified Earth 51
I dunno, folks, is there any interest in me continuing this series? I didn’t do one last week, but there are no guesses at all for the last two installments, UI 49 (for which one might want to follow some … Continue reading
Unidentified Earth 50
The fiftieth installment is at hand! Woo-hoo! And I can’t believe nobody pointed out that I forgot to do this feature last week. Oh well. Anyway, here we are. First, UI 49 remains Unidentified. Come on, folks; you don’t need … Continue reading
Unidentified Earth 49
OK, I forgot to do this yesterday. Sorry! Anyway, there was a partially correct answer given last week, by Steph: it is a promontory on Lake Como in Italy, but we were looking for a bit more specific information than … Continue reading
Unidentified Earth 48 (The Return!)
And now another formerly regular feature here at Byzantium’s Shores makes its triumphant return! I don’t think I ever bothered to officially reveal the location of UI 47, almost four months ago, but as I recall, it was guessed correctly … Continue reading
Unidentified Earth 47
Here we go. I think we’re all caught up now: UI 44 is the MI6 Headquarters in London, England; otherwise known as the Home Base of James Bond, 007. (Although they didn’t start showing this building in the movies until … Continue reading
Unidentified Earth 46
No guesses on UI 44 yet? That’s odd, especially considering how many times the world has been saved by a guy who works here…. But UI 45 was pegged, as I thought it would be, as Land’s End in Cornwall, … Continue reading
Unidentified Earth 45
OK, I think we’re at last caught up with all the still-Unidentified locations. It took a while, and many hints, but UI 40 was finally pegged as the Illinois State Police Station in Des Plaines, IL. What’s significant about this … Continue reading
Unidentified Earth 44
Well, we now have three outstanding installments that as yet have zero guesses among them. I’m running out of coy hints for these, so it’s time for un-coy hints, I suppose. UI 40 was used as a location for a … Continue reading
