Color me stumped. It looks like there’s a cathedral and a big city park with water to the east, but the layout is like no east coast city that I know. I was going to guess Chicago but a quick scrub of the lake shore doesn’t turn up anything that looks like that.
Well, for one thing, while it may have been known at some time as “Chicago’s first suburb,” it’s not really a suburb any more. It’s got an alderman, for example.
But I was more semantically obnoxious than that… Tim “was going” to guess Chicago, but never actually did. So I thought I’d let the game continue for a little longer.
Of course, then I forgot about it, which kinda killed the whole thing.
So, um, sorry about that. Thanks for playing along though. And for reminding me.

Well, it’s certainly not near Dick Cheney’s house, because that area has been deleted from Google Maps.
So, I guess that narrows it down…

One of you was incredibly close. Would it help if I said that we will be neighbors, more or less, with the next president of the United States?

Tim was more than incredibly close, though I guess you were looking for someone to come up with two word name of the suburb.
