   Well slap me and call me a bitch, but that is hard as hell! The only one I barely recognize is the first one, which could just be because there’s miles of that on the metro from Fort Totten to Silver Spring. Could be anywhere.

   Okay, I could probably guess the sax player if I got 7 or 8 tries. The rest, though, obviously you need to be a regular at whatever bar/restaurants, bookstore, tailor, and apparently some business that has a well known dog.

   This would take a monumental networking effort to solve. I’d spam all my friends and do the work if you upped the ante a little bit… how about you keep your stuff and give me my very own page to do whatever I want with in some upcoming issue instead?

   the sax guy has to be playing at a jazz club.

   It seems to me the only person who can solve this would be a regular at several of the establishments pictured. Hopefully, there’s a person out there who rides the aboveground Red Line metro, has a dog, likes to read, loves jazz, is a regular at whatever bars are depicted, and experiences rapid weight gain/loss and thus has to regularly visit a tailor. In other words, not me! Now, throw in a few architectural fragments or streetscapes and I might have a slim chance of getting a couple.

   Is that Carman’s dog? If so, I’d place that picture as Carman’s cube at City Paper.

   I think I got 3 or 4. I’m feeling pretty good.

   So Carman’s old cube would be the Best Of… what, exactly? Best place to find a half-drunk bottle of jug wine? Best used Kleenex? Best unopened can of warm Bud?

   Is that can unopened??

    Best place to do a taste test of fish sauce. Or best place to get into an argument about the mouth feel of Texas bbq.

    No. 7 looks like a good jukebox. So what are the best jukeboxes in town? The Raven? Black Cat Red Room?

    Best jukebox in town is Atomic Billiards. Could that be it?

    OMG, that’s a dead dog. A dead and stuffed dog. I should have known that, I was just at the Postal Museum.
