Click For Summary
A game is being played where participants provide clues to identify buildings, requiring players to post Google Maps images of the locations once guessed correctly. The game began with clues pointing to a building in Warwickshire, England, which was identified as the Chesterton Windmill. Subsequent clues led to various locations, including Jackson Square in New Orleans and the MGM Grand in Las Vegas. The clues often involve wordplay and connections to cultural references, such as the "gold lion" representing MGM's logo and the "light" referring to the Luxor Sky Beam. The game encourages creativity and engagement, with players taking turns to present new riddles and locations, fostering a collaborative atmosphere. The discussions also highlight the importance of using Google Earth for better visual context in solving the clues.

The clues were fine and I assume the answer could be abbreviated to DSC but I barely have time to follow these forums at all at the moment.

Are ye' familiar with,
"Who trusted God was love indeed
And love Creation's final law
Tho' Nature, red in tooth and claw
With ravine, shriek'd against his creed"
?

"In Memoriam A.H.H." is a poem by the British poet Alfred, Lord Tennyson, completed in 1849.

That's as far as I got. There was a fire in St. Louis of that year, but I don't know how that ties into a particular "house of worship."

[Unless it's St. Louis Cathedral or somesuch, but that's probably pushing it a little far.]
