p.s. Courts are a county thing around here.

Next mission: So, staying with the theme of dueling town halls, a town hall.

Town Hall = City Hall here:


Next Mission: Colorful or visually interesting tavern or restaurant exterior.

Colors Caught. Next: Barber Shop

Coop Ale Works may be out of business, though.


University of Wash is a tavern with washers and dryers. I'm surprised I haven't seen this concept more often.

I need a haircut and need some options ... things are going slowly...

Next Mission: Your bike and a traditional barber shop pole (red and white). After 1:00 am CDT Monday 10/26, a barber shop suffices. After 1:00 am CDT Wednesday 10/28, any type of hair cutting or styling shop is acceptable.

Floyd’s near Harvard Square.

There is no truth to the rumor that if you speak nothing but Latin within this shop you get a free haircut.



Next mission - Latin.

The pic doesn’t show up on my phone but does show on my PC.

Update: Picture now visible on my phone.

Next mission - Latin.

Tres leches, a bit beat up from the trip home.

I know it is a bummer, but we should do the antonym; I ran across a lot of them before finding Armando and Chely's Cakes.

Next Mission: Going out of business.

Yesterday, I was considering doing a Mr. Bill clause allowing "everything must go"!

mr_bill clause

I'm actually glad to see that it has been hard to find a "going out of business" photo op.

It's been a week so:

Next Mission: Your bike in front of a defunct business, such as "going out of business", "everything must go", "liquidation", "all sales final" or a storefront that is clearly abandoned.

Not hard to find closed business here:

Inside this closed shoe store:


Closed Shopko discount department store (like a K-mart.) The outline of the old name can be seen behind the website address that is not linked to anything.

Sign on the front door:

Closed pawn/gun shop as well as an associated closed recycling center for deposit bottles and cans:

Inside the pawn shop:

In back of pawn shop:

Directly across from the back of the pawn shop is the defunct recycle center:


New Mission will be posted later tonight.

New Mission: Public transit station, such as train or bus station, designated taxi stand, airport etc. If none of these are nearby, a marked bus stop or car pool meeting place will be acceptable.

I don't even have to pull the bike out of the garage for this one.

Looks like the game has come to a standstill. No action in almost three weeks.

It ran about a year, and I learned some things. .

I wasn’t going to post my inspiration for this mission but under the circumstances I’ve changed my mind:



When a Harley goes on a diet.

Mission: Your bicycle with a motorcycle.

I think it's just the off season for many cyclists. My own lack of involvement is purely based on my hectic personal schedule at the moment. Time will tell I guess....

Or maybe it's the off season for motorcyclists. I've seen just one on the roads during these three weeks. It shouldn't be a problem for those in warmer climates though.

Edit: it definitely isn't the off season for cyclists that's to blame, since this game was started during the last winter and picked up really fast.
