Jaypo, this is a ridiculously good picture. The letters on the lot are too obscured for me to read. There are no other markings that someone from out of the city would know. I guess that it is a university or hospital, of which there are too many to look at to figure this out. I give up.

The street bridge in the background- I glanced around till I saw a bridge, distinguishable markings on it allowed me to pick through them pretty quickly. Scarily effective. Also, a beer and finishing my to do list for tonight didn't hurt

Google Earth doesn't have any info on that Location. But the Bridge in the background is the Kingsgate bridge over the Moyie River. I can't find a Google a street address for it so Hopefully this will do.

Fascinating - it'd make a handy workshop/garage with a few more windows! (the stone hut that is, not the kwacka...)

It's actually made out of Sod not stone. The stone house fell down(or was scavenged) a long long time ago. The sod house was built in the late 60's when the marker was put up.
It wouldn't be bad as a workshop as long as you figured out how to share the space with all the mice and bugs. lol.
Your turn.

Okay... Its been several days. Gonna keep the ball rolling.
For all of you techies, and I know we have quite a few on this forum. This picture was taken at one of those cafes where collective brain power is always the common place. You want to know where the next great thing might sprout roots? It's a good bet that this high octane cafe catered to "many a start ups".
Strong coffee. Techno world music pumping softy as the barista calls out your order. This cafe opened only a few years ago. Maybe 5 years? Opened in a sketchy neighborhood where shootings and illegal dealings are an every night occurence. Being a local in The City, I have a bit of experience out here. And I can accurately tell you that this neighborhood had two different lives. Day and Night.
The hipsters moved in during the ".com" era. Changed it from rough grungy to yuppie. The streets were coming alive with new money and small families dressed in the latest "chill" fashion.
Small business flourished. Every night was like Saturday night. And the newly rich generation needed a place to brainstorm. This cafe, open everyday, early and late closing. Large community tables and sofas allowed "board room" style meetings allowed small companies a place to connect and generate. This place has catered to many from Google... Twitter...and more obviously.
Anyway, I hope you enjoyed my thread/post. Enjoy your "google" search.
Because of the low res pic the cafe is on the corner of 24th St and ??? in the Mission Dist of SF.

It took some work but I figured it out! Using the hints of course... the antennas must be at the top of a mountain. So to the top of the mountain range I went searching. Looking for some twisty roads that end for no reason.
