Speaking of wikis, I haven't seen much participation on http://mymilwaukee.wikibruce.com for archiving information at all lately. I hope people don't abandon that site. I liked the idea of there being a directory of confirmed data.

I'm still pretty fond of overlaying the map from the SF drop onto the actual Milwaukee. You have to rotate it, but the Y shape lays nicely over the rivers.

[chrismenning]

Here's another try.

I layered the Fax with the SF Drop. The only thing that matched up was the position of the square. I then rotated the Milwaukee map until the river was positioned roughly the same as the Y shape on the SF Drop.


The y matches the river.
The diagonal lines follow the direction of the streets.
The square fits roughly on top of a soccer field.
The 7 is close to 17th Street.
The strange partial-symbol-thing on the edge of the SF Drop clue fits directly on the edge of the levee.
The "00" and the "2 or Z" don't seem to match up with anything. [EDIT: If it's an upside-down 7, then it's close to 7th street]
The Circle and Triangle don't seem to match up with anything.
The Black Star lands nearly on top of the MSOE Dorms, which I think bears a slight resemblence to the Blackstar building in the video. (I know it was shot in NY, but we still don't know why.)



The X is not exactly, but very close to the Rockwell Automation Clock Tower.



I don't know if any of this is significant. It's certainly not as elegant as the Great Lawn in Central Park being the shape of the thumb print. Consider this a brainstorm toward a hypothesis.

That's not too bad, actually. I'm a big proponent of the NYC map, but I see merit in your Milwaukee version too.

[chrismenning]

Great. Now I can't even look at the postcard without seeing that Y shape.

Midtown/ Central Park

[rose]

Hey I hope I didn't sound too negative with my post about Central Park on New Year's Eve. It really is a fun time to be there. I don't think the police will arrest anyone for walking around, but they will be keeping a sharp eye out. I have never seen as many cops in the park as there is for New Year's Eve in the Park - and they don't even smile if you try to tell them Happy New Year. Maybe they are just mad they have to work on New Year's.

Anyway, I'm definitely going to be in the park that night. My friends run the race every year and I, personally, love the fireworks. So if there is anything you want checked out near the race or the event that night, I'm happy to do it. I just don't know about the Great Lawn as a location.

I like the idea of lining up the SF deaddrop map and the fax based on the squares. What I still don't think I buy into is the overlay with the Haven chart.

The haven chart includes:

84: This came up on the NYPL deaddrop (though the fact that it did could still be a red herring.)

2010: This came up in the youtube video, and ties into -- again -- a NYC location. It seems entirely too well-placed in the video and on the table and nowhere else for it to be coincidence, to me.

"QUATI": This L-shaped sequence of letters appears on the chart in that order (starting from the Q). These are ALSO the letters (in the same order) missing from the sign in the TIMM video at 4:39, since on page 20 of the mammoth thread, someone spotted that this bar is named "QUARTINO." Quartino is also in NYC. *

124: The channel of the TIMM video at the very beginning. (No connection to NYC?)

I just find it hard to credit that these things have such a vague connection with an overlay.


_{* (It's possible here we need to do some kind of substitution -- "the Milwaukee Margarita substitutes VERMOUTH for TEQUILA" -- which might yield and of the following (depending on which two letters you "conjoin" when substituting. My preference is Ve.R.M.O.U.T.H. since this would match the format for Go.D.S.E.E.D.):
M.O.H.VE.U
M.O.H.V.U
RM.O.H.V.U
R.MO.H.V.U
R.M.H.V.OU
R.M.H.V.O
R.M.TH.V.O (note that if the "h" in vermouth corresponds to nothing, this becomes "RMTVO"
However, none of these seems immediately useful.}
