That was impossible to do unless you lived in that area. I liked the concept but I didn’t know any of them myself. There has to be a better one available.
I had no idea what were the “landmarks” you were looking for! I also thought the last one was in Florida instead of Hawaii. I was even saying “Tallahassee James!” Lol This was a fun video. Try it again, and hopefully you can get more recognizable landmarks.
James, Washington National Cathedral which is Episcopal [aka Anglican] is modern. It was built between 1907 and 1990. It was damaged during an earthquake in nearby Virginia in 2011.
Knoxville, TN was the site of the 1982 Worlds Fair, I was there as a teenager, and have not been back sense, though I have planned trips through a number of times, and have been to other parts of Tennessee a number of times over the years, most recently in 2021
Millie seemed generally more observant than James, especially with reading signs. But y'all should slow down a bit and look at each scene before moving around.
That was hard! I only knew one, the National Cathedral. The only reason I knew that one was because I took my son to DC when he was about 7 years old and we were lost, driving in circles around the Cathedral - it was straight out of European Vacation "There's Big Ben!" We laughed so hard we didn't mind being lost for awhile!
Besides the national Cathedral, which I wouldn’t of guessed in Washington DC, I don’t know where the hell any of those places were and I’ve been all over this country. Those were definitely not landmarks. The one you did on your own real fast after with the memorial for 911 Washington, DC monument, etc. was much more realistic.
13:13-Your intuition, while incorrect, is understandable and not too far off. The building is actually a lot newer than it looks (it's America, after all, lol). Commonly known as Washington National Cathedral, The Cathedral Church of Saint Peter and Saint Paul in the City and Diocese of Washington is an American cathedral of the Episcopal Church. (The Anglican associate branch of the Church of England here in America.) The structure is of Neo-Gothic design closely modeled on the English Gothic style of the late fourteenth century. Construction began in the early 20th century and continues to the present; it is the second-largest church building in the United States. While the cathedral is located in Washington, D.C., the capital of the United States, with construction “approved” by an act of the US Congress and was built in the spirit of constructing a “National Christian Church.” It has no special legal status or official function and was built entirely with private funds. Tho one US President, Woodrow Willson, chose to be interred there.
Well, my guess is that could have been a little bit of fun to do that little thing. But I can tell you unequivocally. As far as the video goes, that was not fun to watch. The whole thing is very tedious and rightly so , but I kept finding myself like wanting to Reach through the TV and shake you guys. Yeah, that's a little game that would be worth doing but difficult to watch someone else do. Still love you guys. Just wanted to point out. It wasn't much for a spectator to watch.
Zoom in on the street sign. It's green and white. Next to the Subway store and I think Bank of America bank sign. Then put in 204 plus the street name into the Google map. The 204 comes from the Ortiz Funeral home. It will take you to the state and city. Otherwise Google the Funeral Home name in the Google map and it should take you there
Hollywood, California, was founded in Aug 1887, incorporated as a municipality in 1903, and incorporated into LA in 1910. Hollywood, Alabama, was founded in May 1887, and incorporated in 1897 (6 years before CA's), and is the first city named Hollywood. They successfully blocked Hollywood, CA, from trademarking the name, due to being incorporated first. They even have a water-tower with "We're The Real Hollywood" on it.
1st NYC look architecture apartments. 2nd 1982 World's Fair in Knoxville, TN. 3rd WRONG Washington! National Cathedral, National Capitol, D.C. 4th Looks like the Charles River, I guess Boston near Harvard. My bad, the architecture and paving stones threw me. 5th My guess is St. Augustine, FL
I guessed NY for the first one, but realistically those buildings aren't "unique" to NY it's a very North East kind of build hell even Chicago. I assume "land marks" was supposed to be something with the BLM sign there but personally i wouldn't have been able to tell you where that was, let alone anything else on that street it was pretty no descript
I knew none of those, I'm American, 54 years old. I knew the WA one would be east coast WA just because I live in WA state and knew that church was not in my state. I knew the first one was in a blue state via the "black lives matter" on the wall.
The give-away on #1 was the design/look of the buildings. After a dozen movies/tv shows set there, you just learn its feeling. I do not believe the funeral home was the landmark - it was the BLM mural. That funeral chain actually got sued this year for shady practices.
Roswell,New Mexico is well known for UFO crash, Although I don't live exactly in Roswell👽🛸, I have graduated from college there. We have had UFO sightings on the edge of Artesia, Roswell's neighbor. There are Mexican food restaurants as well as fast food. Hopefully after the presidential election Trump will be back in office and businesses will start to open up again.
14:12 / 16:13 - What you guys were looking at was the site of a large monument to Confederate general Robert E. Lee in Richmond, VA that was unfortunately vandalized and removed just a few years ago.
The first one literally screamed of New York City architecture and they thought of Texas😂
Those were landmarks that mostly only locals would know.
That was impossible to do unless you lived in that area. I liked the concept but I didn’t know any of them myself. There has to be a better one available.
#1 the R.G. Ortiz Funeral Home is part of the East Harlem Historic District, listed in the National Register in 2019.
I could be wrong, but the third one has the church. That church is the National Cathedral. All the Presidents have their funerals there.
To be fair, there are millions of Americans who can't identify national landmarks in the US
I had no idea what were the “landmarks” you were looking for! I also thought the last one was in Florida instead of Hawaii. I was even saying “Tallahassee James!” Lol
This was a fun video. Try it again, and hopefully you can get more recognizable landmarks.
Apparently, the funeral home in the first one used to be an historic Italian Bank.
🇺🇸 I did enjoy that, you all should try again sometime!
Those were some random 'landmarks'. A good test for an American geography buff.
All these are aimed at serious geography buffs.

I went to the Worlds fair in Knoxville in 1982 with my parents. It was so cool at the time
Me too. I knew it was Knoxville as soon as I saw the sphere.
@@blakerh yep. I still have a pin with the sphere on it.
Knoxville, TN was the site of the 1982 Worlds Fair, I was there as a teenager, and have not been back sense, though I have planned trips through a number of times, and have been to other parts of Tennessee a number of times over the years, most recently in 2021
Millie seemed generally more observant than James, especially with reading signs. But y'all should slow down a bit and look at each scene before moving around.
Being a life long American, I didn't get ANY of them. I was guessing either Florida or California when I saw the palm trees, just like Millie was.
That was hard! I only knew one, the National Cathedral. The only reason I knew that one was because I took my son to DC when he was about 7 years old and we were lost, driving in circles around the Cathedral - it was straight out of European Vacation "There's Big Ben!"

The way to tell the state capital is from the star next to the name. For example Denver is the capital for Colorado.
LOL most Americans would fail this test!
I haven't recognized any of the landmarks, in fact I don;t even know what they were.
I used to live across the street from #3 when I was at university! $675 for a one-bedroom apartment back then!
I have no idea what they were looking for, but they will never find it zooming around and never really looking for clues.
if ever go to washington national cathedral there is a darth vader gargoyle.
You could have looked at license plates on cars.

You need to look around at the buildings and signs before you leave the area

Those locations were pretty sketchy.
Fun video. I only knew one, Knoxville, but I'm from Tennessee.
That was a difficult test, esp for non-Americans.

Don't forget worlds biggest rectal thermometer in Baker, California.

Look for license plates, and street/highway signs.
License plates are blurred in all this type of things
What was that website? I liked it and wanted to try it, because I, too, had no idea what those landmarks were on your first round.
It is Geoguessor.

I scanned the name of the funeral home. It's in Brooklyn! This could be a fun game.
What is the 'landmark' ?
I think they speak English in NM lol and the funeral home was an English sign.
#2 is home of the 1982 Worlds Fair
What is a "lamock"? 😁
Good to see you again!!!😁😁😁😁😁😁

I didn't guess any places either

these are not national landmarks ,,, local city parks
The first one was obvious. All you had to do was zoom in on that intersection and look at the street signs.
STOOOPID Game
You should be watching the American election.
It is past midnight where they live. Dummie
