''OH NO!! HIDE THE LIGHTHOUSE!!!!!"...never knew hiding a lighthouse was a viable option....also where the heck do you hide a light house?
In Florida during the second Seminole Indian war. The original Canaveral light house was attacked twice before being dissembled and hidden until later. During the first attack the Fresnel lens was made up of several separate crystals. The Indians took the individual crystals and fashioned them to wear as jewelery. During the second attack the replacement lens had already been dissembled by the light house keeper and hidden in the woods.

Yay obscure history!
There's a joke somewhere in there about hiding a light(house) under a bush(el)...

Aww, there's one in Atlanta. Shame it's not at the Tybee Lighthouse. I'd get over my fear to check that out.

Call audio for completeness, didn't get a chance to trim it and a little clipped in places.

Just curious how you came up with that?
I was kind of thinking the same thing, but it was because doing a search of just the cities names and well I found
Spoiler (Rollover to View):
Montreal, Toronto, Boston, New York, Chicago and Detroit were the original 6 franchises in the NHL

LOL That would do it!
But we may still want to check for other options. I'm not sure what the 53 is referring to.

Before anyone even said anything about hockey, I was thinking the "53 made it 3" might be a reference to a jersey number. I donno squat about hockey, but did Toronto ever have someone with #53?
