They were clues that validate the answer instead of leading one to the answer. Oh well.



Here are two shots of a bridge, as I couldn't find a single photo I liked. Clue comes tomorrow.

"They were clues that validate the answer instead of leading one to the answer."

You're right. I have to think through some of my clues better.

Although, Funky did get my Madison, Indiana one without much trouble, and Coeur d'Alene is more prominent, so I thought it would be much easier than a small town on a river that gets no publicity at all. 

As for the song, I was referring to the Eileen = Alene (near) homynym, rather than Come = Coeur.

The Richard, Coeur de Lion would have gone well with the first pic, assuming anyone had heard of CDA.

That last one CumOnEileen, Xmas lights was a tough one.  I would never had guessed it.

[quote user="funky2004"]Megyeri Bridge / Budapest (Hungary)[/quote] I even knew you would recognize it by sight. And dang it if I didn't help stuff that ballot box for it to just be named after Megyeri... It's the Stephen Colbert Bridge Angry Wink

Speaking of bridges...

What is the name of this bridge, and where in the world is it?

It's funny that we're doing a bridges theme now. I almost posted a semi-famous bridge on Saturday (I may this week) before deciding on Madison Indiana instead...I don't know yours yet, Kenny, but I'll try later, nice challenge Thumbs up!..I'm trying to figure out why part of the railing is higher...Confused

 The size of the river looks right, the background looks right, I haven't been there in 15 years, but if I'm right, it's just down the road from one of my favorite places, Beaver Liquors. So is it.......?

 From the world's shortest name for a bridge, to perhaps the longest. I'll let it stand for now since I have no replacement photo!Thumbs up!

Did you do some soul-searching to come up with that answer?  I still don't see a definitive answer...

That ain't no castle!...a mansion, a stately home or country house, but no castle!

Another clue needed please.

OK...it's not too far from one of the other posts Purple Elephant 

it's not in Europe (or near)...that narrows it down Wink 

I called it a "castle" not because it is, but it might help a search 

and Minger, you actually have an edge in solving this (hint)

Another clue: think rap music--but not for long Spanked!

Suppose it's either a replica or a rebuilt English mansion somewhere in the Northeastern US.  But I'm still in the dark...

Nothing else left to do then congratulating Seablonde with 1K posts and Minger with 0.5K posts....

From the clues, perhaps this is a mansion of a rapper who's now broke and either faced or is facing foreclosure? What did M.C. Hammer's mansion look like? Or perhaps "castle" is a part of the name or group? Other than that I got nothing. And not even an interesting post count.
