Seems that the one for Macon, GA (32.8163 , -83.7079) is a shopping mall, Eisenhower Crossing. It's the intersection of Eisenhower Parkway (Hwy 80) at Log Cabin Drive. (This done with maporama and google searching, not a physical drive-by)
Still, I want a little more explicit direction before I drive the 70 miles out there on a workday.

Axon locations are updated with (possible?) times they go hot. The Axon location for Billings, MT moved one block south, two blocks east. The new location features (if I'm remembering correctly) a big Post Office.

updated axons Hmm. The times are all four minutes apart (except a few that are three). Why so exact? Or is this a clue that were supposed to connect all 220 locations in one continuous line, rather than in pairs. Did anybody do that?

Santa Cruz Location Ok so I have read through almost everything and I checked out the Santa Cruz Location. Here's my break down.
1) It's at a three way intersection.
2) It's a parking lot. That's it. Just a parking lot.
3) It's across the street from the Boardwalk's Casino Arcade on one side and a Bowling ALley on the other.
4) No chinese food, libraries, or billboards around.
5) Nearest payphones are at the boardwalk and the bowling alley.
6) There's a plaque near the Boardwalk, this is the nearest intersection.
7) the street names are Beach St. and CLiff St. for the anagram people.
8 ) In previous years, a private Haunted House company has rented the land. It's possible that Microsoft could do the same.
The new coordinates show this location as being across the street, on the beach near the plaque. They also show another Santa Cruz location five miles off the coast in the bay.
I think that's about it but I'm not sure so if I left anything out just let me know...
EDIT: so the location off the coast is gone now...

-117.129132,32.785099 (Near Qualcomm stadium). I went to -117.129132,32.785099 (Near Qualcomm stadium).
This is near a popular shopping mall with IKEA and Costco warehouses. Very busy place. The location is across the street, inside a brand new luxuary condo complex. There was nothing at the specific spot that seemed to be of significance.

anybody notice what shape the piece of land the location is? I've heard from a few people that there are triangles. The one I'm looking at is too.

The Santa Cruz one isn't any specific shape; the address itself is a rectangle (being a building and all), but its just next to a park and all, no special shaped outcroppings. There are several payphones around the building, however.

the location from the GPS points isn't the building (the arcadde). In relation to the street intersection it's outside the building to the right., most likely the park/grass next to it, or the beach itself. I checked the other day and made sure to ake note it wasn't in the building.

Hmmm.... Well, the only thing remarkable about that peice of land (other than a bit of its shape) is the payphones. Unless the spot they chose needs beach access too.
