Ugh. Still no winner in Philly. I wish I was up there helping out. Seems they picked a really busy place to have the drop- supposedly there are 4 coffee shops on the block, and obviously there is only one correct location. So I see a lot of people trying to get lunch while a bunch of loons are asking everyone if they are "mint".
DANG YOU WORK!
EDIT: Just announced I was right- it's at Passero Coffee House.

LOL. Good job SkekTek. I can't believe no one has found the one in Philly yet. Dallas is coming up at 1 central. I'm pretty sure I know where it is going to be. Wish I lived just a little closer so I could go. The clues said to look east of the expressway and to follow the call of the mockingbird. Well if you take mockingbird lane just east of the expressway, there is a little shopping center called the Mockingbird Station with a comic book store in it. I may be wrong, but it makes sense to me.

Philly has been claimed- Passero's Coffee House in Suburban Station on JFK Blvd.
So it was indeed "outside the Square box"- Logan Square to be precise, though technically it was also outside the area of "Centre Square" or city hall.
There was a "joe" clue that indicated that it was indeed a coffee shop.
The evergreen comment, not sure how that was appropriate since I'm not on the ground. But presumably the winner was near a bush.
The last one indicated it was at a station with a coffee joint on JFK, which meant one of the four on the block One poor guy read the clues indicating the person being OUTSIDE (as I did), so he never went IN to the station to find the person, but when he finally clued in, someone else had snagged it.
EDIT: since trains and stations are a big part of the movie, wonder if ALL of the drops are related to trains and stations. Philly's was.

Chicago was found. It was at a comic shop "2 miles" north of where I thought.
Darn final clues. Twitter shows aidanbrezonick claimed it.
But check out that twitter. No mention of Super8 "hide and tweet" at all.
I guess ya really don't have to play to win.

Finally mentions something.

And Super8's confirmation.

No I'm not jealous. Just think they should at least check to see if they were playing. Rather than just ask for a password.

Phoenix has been found. Congratulations to whoever got it. It was a hard one; you had to find a women with a baby and tell her "MINT".
I assume the prize is a single blu-ray? Have you heard what's at the drop?
Yeah, they're not making it easy in some cities. Hoping to see posted pics soon, and curious if there are people dressed up.
EDIT: looks like the prize includes a Super 8 tshirt and tickets to see Ghost Protocol.
Kind of peeved at the Phoenix drop. As soon as the first clue went out. I knew exactly where it was Mccormack-span train park. I tweeted the location and thought someone would be there in 15 minutes. I was in Tempe so it was not feesable for me to try, but at 9am they tweeted it is still available. So I jumped, I was there about 920 ran into the station and said mint. All I got was two screening passes to Hugo, and they said the dvd was picked up at at 9am. I got in my car and then at 925 phoenix was found. Plus the earlier clue about Lincoln Village put the drop close to the 17 and camble. No where close to Scottsdale
Yes, Phoenix was a signed DVD (I believe BluRay), t-shirts, and tickets to Hugo.
Edit: Runner up prizes were the shirts and tickets.

Ha ha! I should have known who would be right on top of the drop in Toronto! Great job!
Edit: No one has made it to the skate store in Dallas yet? I think it is Index Skateboard Supply that is in the shopping center adjacent to the train terminal.

I know where both LA locations are, but I'll refrain from posting them until after the drop, so I have an edge over the competition.
Get the prize??
