My first guess about the pictures of Paris was that "Grandpa's Hometown" was Paris. But now I think that it has more to do with the corrupted Naples_small.jpg file.

I wonder if this is an actual address of a restaurant? My guess is that there really isn't a restaurant there, and the website is just a front for hired hitmen or something.
Hope someone is able to get through with a call today!

The address is non-existent and the pictures on the site are not important, a bravenet template ("travel") was used.

ETA: Meaning the "travel" pics seen below aren't important, any pics added to the template (i.e. Naples) may be.

I tried looking on Google Maps for the address, and it couldn't find it, unless I just don't understand the way US addresses are written. It either came up with Upper E Illinois Avenue, or E Illinois St

Still getting a busy signal. I'll try again on my lunch break.

Heh, but I did post on their guestbook, so hopefully either the phone thing will be cleared up, or I'll get an email from them haha

ooo they changed the number. Now it's:(206) 208-9549

There's a recording of a woman on there speaking italian, which I only know bits and pieces of. Anyone know someone who can translate?

She does mention San Francisco though

Using my madd tranzlation skillz, uh, all I could get from it was "ciao" and "San Fransisco". Sad

Hopefully *someone* on here can translate it!
You CAN leave a message for them, though. Did anyone try that?

I know some Italian, having taken it in high school. I'll see what I can get from it, but it make take me a bit to do so.

The bits I could get (she has a pretty bad pronunciation) says something about her being "Mama" and I think a part about "if you know who this is."

This should probably be taken with a grain of salt, since my experience with Italian comes mainly from opera and knowing Spanish. >_>;

EDIT:
Anyone have the capability to record the message?

I can record it into one of my digital recorders, but not until I get home in about four hours. If nobody can do it before then, I can record it when I get home.
We still have the Arabic and the key card to work with, too.
Red seems a bit suspicious on his blog because so many of us are helping him. To be honest, I would be suspicious, too.
Just curious...has there ever been something that people THOUGHT was an ARG, and it turned out to be real and dangerous?

I have a couple of people I can tap to translate the letter in arabic. I will post what I can find out in a day or so. Might be sooner, but no promises.
