That's it... the central business district and Causeway Blvd.

I'm still impressed Sluggo got as close at Baton Rouge on first guess.

Ok, I have a feeling this one is going to raise some eyebrows because it's not exactly a skyline, but I think it could be a lot of fun. It has some significance so it shouldn't be too hard.

A clue to get you guys started: If you believe distance is relative, then this town is only a stones throw from a location we've done recently.

Gonna guess it's in the St. Helena territories given the clue. So I've got a 50-50 shot.

Georgetown, Ascension Island.

You are in the right region, but it is not Georgetown.

This town is of special interest to human geographers.

I guess "officially" it's Edinburgh of the Seven Seas, and that was the other 50% assuming it's correct (and it looks like it). I guessed wrong.

I wonder if there's anyone who lives there who doesn't know every single other person?

Funnily enough, when I posted the picture of St Helena, I had been tossing up between whether to do St Helena or Tristan da Cunha lol. I note that the official name of the Territory is St Helena, Ascension and Tristan da Cunha. It does look like I'm probably right but am not totally sure so I'll wait for confirmation.

When I was a teenager (back in the 70s), I remember reading a book about Tristan da Cunha and the evacuation of the entire population in 1961 to the UK. The majority did return. So, I've always been interested in Tristan da Cunha since that time.

I wonder if there's anyone who lives there who doesn't know every single other person?

Unless there are some hermits on the island, one would imagine that if they didn't know every other person, they would certainly know who they are and possibly all about them.

Btw I am not sure what they do about "new blood" when it comes to marrying etc.
