Stumped? Well, sort of; third back: was out of town, second back: too generic (a zillion "lighthouse buoys it could be), first back: yeah, stumped (though remember Dan'l Boone: I'm not lost, I'm just getting my bearings) but I took months to find Cartagena. Oh, and this most recent? Yes it's "SD," and not just "maybe": see 4.bp.blogspot.com/_0ceHaR5RPhk/TTiF83B8M1I/AAAAAAAAATQ/lZjc7Y_CXWM/s0/san+diego.jpg at dict.space.4goo.net/city/100185?q=San+Diego

"...this sign?": Given that it appears to be "Darlene," of i m a g e f a p.com/pictures/4006754/John-and-Darlene-outdoor-showoffs-in-Canada , and given the other sign picture in that set, I'd say Shingle Lake, Nova Scotia (not too far from Mahone Bay, all in the area of greater Halifax); no Google Street View there, though, so not photographically 100% proven.

"...out the window" is Hong Kong, prominently featuring the distinctive Bank of China Building, as in hansens-hikes.com/Gallery/Central-Western/060221_Hong-Kong_Admiralty_Lippo-BOC.jpg

"...this bank" is the one on Plume Street, Norfolk VA; verified at Google Maps by viewing along the East City Hall Avenue side; picture most probably from the Courtyard Norfolk Downtown hotel.

Thanks Crispus! I went up and down 3rd and Spruce Sts in Reading, but West Reading seems like a much nicer neighborhood.

Monique's picture: Yes it's 3rd and Spruce (across the street from the "3rd & Spruce Café"), but it's in West Reading PA, across the Schuykill River from Reading proper; I did verify the statue (but no Monique, sadly!) in Google Street View.

Re "Any one recognize": Tampa FL, from a parking garage along N. Florida Ave.; base of SunTrust Bank at the intersection w/E. Washington; distinctive Colonial building of Northern Trust Bank ( flickr.com/photos/12684135@N02/2457788916/ ) up the street at intersection of Madison/N. Florida.

Thanks. Those were taken in Vancouver, B.C.

Latest ID: Manhattan NYC; see lh6.ggpht.com/-cAD1PCZk77w/TlJqCi_pbWI/AAAAAAAABTk/2mTTefJp99k/s0/HobokenBoardwalk.JPG (from offmetro.com/ny/2011/08/22/best-places-to-take-photos-in-nyc/ ) for those two buildings -- one w/dome, one w/cranes. Specifically, picture is from the last block of South End Avenue, just south of W. Thames Street, looking uptown...
