Tom Galli Posted March 17, 2020 Share Posted March 17, 2020 Forum Members, With all this isolation time on our hands, let’s play a little “Name That Landmark” game. Here are the rules: Use the Google Map program to find Rockwall Texas (my hometown). Then, post the name of your hometown in a response. I’ll give a clue to a significant place or thing (Landmark) that is within 50 miles of a highway that connects your hometown to mine. Guess the landmark. Everyone can play. If no one comes close to the landmark, I’ll give another hint. We can have multiple hometown connections in play at any given time. Roll on down to Texas.... Ready...Set...Go!
