Uhhhh....what?
I made up this picture game. Not stolen from anyone. And the rules you posted do not work with my game.
In any case...
Rules are already posted in the opening of the thread by the OP (me).
Take picture near a landmark that shows subtle hints of where you are. Like a business name or a famous landmark. Also post the city to make it easy.
The players of this game will try and figure it out and post the answer with a Google Map link.
This should be an easy to play game that shows the SH community where we all live and play. I think that my game will build a larger sense of community by using these types of photographs.
I mean, really... Anyone can pose there bike next to a donut shop. But can you find the exact donut shop on google maps?
So...no thread high jacking please.

As for riding. I was up and on the road doing twisties since 830am and got home by 11am to take the wife and kids out to brunch. I did my riding for the day. Actually, about 2500 miles in the last 3 months.
Now its time for relaxing and frustrating investigative games!

I vote for a new picture!
You got me on that picture at the gas station. 
I must say that it is pretty obscure.
The data that I gathered from the picture...
It is a BP Station.
It has a green metal fence along one side of the property.
The road in the picture is in front of an unincorporated area.
No business names or addresses or tell tale monuments in the picture.
I have checked every station in the city that you mentioned and I cannot find a match on Google maps.
Does the station picture look like the Google picture? Is it is the city that you mentioned? Kenosha, WI.
If so... you beat me. I have at least two hours of searching.

They are redoing the road, and the Gas station has changed hands, and has not been updated. It is indeed a BP, it is in kenosha, and there is a subway in it.

Dinner
This pic was taken as I filled the tank for my epic journey to Death Valley Natl Park.
Anyone have a picture to add to this thread?
