Keith,

Believe it or not, I've never been there! I've done several Boston Tea Party re-enactments at the Old South Meeting House, I've lectured at the Paul Revere House, but have never taken the time to go to Old North Church (which is formally called Christ Church). Now that you've shamed me into it, I'll make it a point to go.

#3 is Dealy Plaza looking towards the Texas Schoolbook Depository (building to the left in pic) - both are National Historic Sites and the Depository contains the 6th Floor Museum.

#4 is Ebeneezer Baptist Church, Atlanta, GA.

Purple726,

Sorry, #4 is not Ebeneezer Baptist Church.

#4 has not been identified correctly yet.

Steve

If no one gets #4 by Friday afternoon, I'll post a hint.

Default Sorry Doc.

Just thought it was interesting you didn't get the Old North Church. I didn't visit it but its steeple was in several pics and matched perfectly. Went to Paul Revere's House on our visit.
We also visited my wife's cousin's home, (The John Adams and John Quincy Adams complex.) Very interesting. She's in the same line as the Adams family as they are descendants of Pricillla Mullins and John Alden (Ruth Alden married John Bass, the Bass line).

Okay, here's a hint for #4:


"Don't know the manners of good society, eh? Well, I guess I know enough to turn you inside out, old gal — you sockdologizing old man-trap."
