Sploofus WTHAI Annoyance

#1 Post by TheCalvinator24 » Sat Nov 01, 2008 8:04 pm

A few days ago, the Where the Heck Am I turned out to be Garland Texas. I remember thinking that the pic looked like the Garland square, but they don't have water in it. Well, the pic they used (from the Wikipedia page) is apparently several years old because Garland drained the fountain in the square at least 5 1/2 years ago to do some renovations.

I should have made a guess nonetheless.

I know the feeling. The Who Am I? just completed turned out to be a giant statue in Tulsa.

I don't know if I've ever seen the pool in Garland, but I wasted a lot of time on that one trying to establish if it could be one of the less-photographed parts of Las Colinas. (To me, "less photographed" means anything without the horse sculptures.)

Do you get a different puzzle than I do?? The three I see today are from Russia, China and Italy.

Not the "Where Am I," but the "Who Am I" -- it was the Golden Driller.

Well, rats! I might have finally gotten one if I'd looked at it!
