Where & When: Game 7
Welcome back! While you’re checking out the post season action, you can still enjoy a challenge or two of your own with the latest round of Where & When. As you know, the object is to determine where and when the picture was taken, drawn, etc. Without further ado, I give you this:
Sometimes they’re hard, sometimes they’re easy. But at least they are engaging. This one should be an easy one for the internet savvy or hardcore New Yawka from back in the day. I know that one of these features was very familiar to me growing up in the Hudson Valley, which is certainly not where this is.
Have a go at it; but since this is relatively easy, let’s try something a little different: Post your answer on the thread and any finite info you might have about this location relative to the date the picture was taken versus another period of time when the scene was or is significantly different in some way. Or, you can talk about an interesting personal experience you had there. The most interesting answer (by acclamation) will get the root beer this time, with all others with a correct answer and interesting stories or info getting cream sodas. Let’s see how this works out, and above all have fun. See you in the afternoon!

First Time, Long Time
Belated, but not forgotten, here’s your comedy for the week:
Nothing Shocking
Ah, 2004, when the Yanks decided not to sign Carlos Beltran. It was a move we talked about over and again in this space. And so yesterday, there was Beltran, still playing well, hitting a home run against AJ Burnett, who is still doing his thing. Burnett was a mess in Game 1 of the NLDS and while I felt bad for him and the Pirates fans I also felt relieved that he was someone else’s headache.
