5. St John's
9. Devil's Tower
11. The Cathedral in Cordoba was once a mosque but unless something has changed recently, it is a Catholic church and has been one since the Moors were kicked out of Spain. I've been there a couple of times and it's a beautiful building.
12. Early 15th century. Somewhere between 1400-1450?

4..Rbny has the Shakespeare part in PORTIA. Still, I was looking for someone to identify that Portai Faces Life
was an old radio show.

5..St. Johns River--VTC & geordi. (You're wondering if it has gators. Oh my, yes.)

6..Bud Light--'fess up; some of you thought it was black cats or shattered mirrors.

7..I guess you all live in apartments where you just don't worry about leaders and gutters.

8..Oh, you're millions of miles off, except geordi in citing Uranus.

9..Geordi & VTC have Devils Tower.

10..Meyers listens to ABBA...constantly--TAKE A CHANCE ON ME.

11..How did geordi & VTC get this? Why, THEY CAME TO CORDOBA, or maybe it was Corduva. I can't be sure.

12..1939, NYC--Pinot & VAUC.

13..1431--Several of you are on target.
