And the point of this is? Is there a prize?

ol' stinky and fabian got it.

The point? It's fun and sometimes informative. And there are sometimes pseudo-prizes.

Peter,

a) How the heck do you know all these places?

b) How the heck do people know the answers?

c) How come I didn't even know there was a golf course at 37th and Ontario, given that I live in East Van, near Main?

SIGH. Please post something easy so that I can guess it!

a) I've lived here my whole life.
b) Beats me. But, I usually include some telling landmarks to make it easier (in this case the detail was the pond—which rules out a lot of parks—and the 6 lane thoroughfare on the east edge.
c) Well, now you know!

You should try this game with downtown locations; Google Maps now has better res' on most of downtown, strangely blended with the surrounding older resolutions (Look at the ghost ship at Canada Place), but still very cool...
