[PUZZLE] Post Coordinates locations here

These are all VERY SPECIFIC coordinates, so if you live in an area and can recognize it, post it here. A good tool to use is http://www.earthamaps.com/default.asp

I'll start with the Vegas one:

36.1387 -115.1607: The entrance driveway of the Riviera Hotel in Las Vegas.

[Edit: not the Riviera after all, but a vacant area just north of Circus Circus. See my post later in the thread.]

That's a great doc. What would be even more great is if we could add the specific data people are posting here into it as well, so we end up with a comprehensive and detailed list in the end?

Well, maybe Yahoo Groups is good for something.

There's a publicly editable table here. In case it's useful

There IS one near where I live. It's at:

107th Ave and Allen Blvd in Beaverton. I'll see if I can get over there sometime today. Possibly this morning, if my mom feels like going for driving practice. ^_^

Oh, for reference's sake, I just figured out the coordinates:

45.5314 -122.6502 - 107th Ave and Allen Blvd in Beaverton, OR

EDIT: I take that back... As it appears, I have the wrong addy there. This one points to Lloyd Center, a mall in Portland, OR.

I've got another script running pulling more data (address, state) up on the locations. Will take a little while to work through them though.

Edit: My servers seem to not be liking what I'm doing and dying Smile So I'm not gonna be able to finish up with this list.
