Name this place

I give up! I researched it for the last two days. Good one! Obviously, I haven't been there. I just know it is not Machu Picchu. :lol: I went to Machu Picchu when I was five because my father was a geophysicist for Standard/Amoco Oil, and he/we were transferred to Cochabamba Bolivia for 2 years. I saw a lot of S. America. I wish I had the ability to post pictures of all that. Maybe, someone else knows where your pic is from; I bet you have been there. This is a fun and informative thread. Thanks for bringing it back. It is a nice break from all the political stuff. :smile:

How many of you are cheating by using Google Images Search?

I did that for a few, but didn't post the results.

Well, if one has not been to a place, how else can one know? Why does that matter, anyway? I think it is fun to play detective, and try to figure it out, and it inspires me to go to these places; not to mention that this thread is fun and educational; unlike most threads on this forum when members are bashing each other. When this thread was started 9 years ago, members were guessing. I don't get your point. :shrug:

No, I haven't been there. :lol: Found it when searching for something else today, and thought the history was interesting. Where is it?

Hint: It is not there anymore.

Correct! I didn't know, but have a source that told me. Thank goodness because it was driving me crazy! So, I didn't post the answer because that would be cheating. :lol:

Holland Island. I saw that on Chesapeake Bay by Air on PBS just the other day.

Was there in the 90's while stuck in Milan for a few weeks.

I found the story so intriguing, and was fascinated by it. It is like a local Atlantis. I am sure there have been other islands submerged, too, and no one knew. I am a history nut, so finding info like this is fun. I missed the PBS show. Maybe, my xfinity has it on demand. Thanks!

There is a city that is view able from the highway. It's in the US. Most Americans have heard the name of this town.

Hub went to Quantico for overnight run/race, so I thought I would take the time to try to figure out your place. I can't figure it out. :tantrum: I love brain teasers, history and knowledge of the world so am glad you brought this thread back from the past. I will think about it tomorrow. Maybe, someone else knows the answer. More hints appreciated. :smile: Nite nite.
