This new series is a throwback to the game, “Where in the World is Carmen San Diego?” I will give a brief description of a place, including its latitude and longitude and several “interesting” facts about the location. I will also try to include a picture or two from my visit to the place. You, the reader, can then hazard a guess to answer the question posed in the game.

I will reveal the correct location on the following day. Hopefully, this type of post will encourage interaction and perhaps stimulate comments. Good Luck!

The answer to yesterday’s place (#29) is Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, USA

Where in the World is Gary?  #30

Latitude — 41º 49′ North

Longitude — 71º 25′ West

This was the first colony founded on religious freedom. It is known as the “Renaissance City” because of its transformation and renewed popularity. The lightings of braziers in the middle of a downtown river are major events here from spring to fall.

Its capitol building is modeled after the US capitol in Washington, DC.

The founder of the colony is commemorated in a statue which overlooks the downtown.
