you southern Indiana boys have the Dillinger Museum!!  That would be badass...

[BeSeeingYou]

This one shouldn't be too hard.  There are related places across the whole middle of the country from Minneapolis to Dallas.  Might be a little more sparse on the coasts but there are some.  I know of two within 3 miles of my house and several more in the wider metro.  Many years ago I lived across the street from a 4 plex where Dillinger recuperated from a gunshot wound.   Minneapolis/St Paul had very corrupt city governments/police back then and were an R&R location for the "Public Enemies".

There's Bonnie & Clyde stuff here in Dallas, but my next chance to get out on my bike won't be until next week. 

[trueblue]

Well it has taken me nearly a week to get time to get this one but here he is Ned Kelly, one of Australia's favourite outlaws
 the next mark is right up godzilla's avenue, a statue of a dinosaur at least as big as your bike, bonus points if it is a lifesize giant eg t-rex, brontosaur etc

I think Nessie will do.   She moves around the various city lakes all summer so I had to hunt her down at Lake of the Isles.





How about a large wall mural on the side of a building.  Like this.

Well, this pic was taken a few months ago, so it doesn't really qualify, but I thought I would share it anyway.

Looks like a dinosaur to me too

[pknopp]

 I say in the parking lot of a closed bar. The bigger the dive the better. No closed Bennigans or something like that.

Are you talking about a bar that is closed for the night or one that has closed down?

[pknopp]

 I meant closed down but heck, if you are out riding around at 4 in the morning who am I to argue.

[socalenduro]

so whats the new mark...i want an excuse to go ride...

[OldSchool_IsCool]

Not out of business, but only open 2 days a week, so it may as well be!  And the women there make you do this funny body shaky thing they call... um what is it.. oh yea, DANCING!  Man! what a hell hole!



Next mark:  Kinda Halloween lite - a standing dead tree.

[BeSeeingYou]

Dead apple tree in the backyard of a friend.


large neon sign lit up at night.  Not some little beer sign in a window but something big on a building.

I was beat to the punch so he should call it

[BeSeeingYou]

That was close...only by 5 minutes. Cool pics Mercuno

[Mercuno]

HAHA Ive been watching this thread for a month and was sooo excited. I have a krispy kreme the next town over. I might just have to go now.

I have started a thread just like this over at dotheton.com

[OldSchool_IsCool]

Dang!  Missed it by FIVE minutes!!  But what a stunning entry, Mercuno!

[BeSeeingYou]

Dang!  Missed it by FIVE minutes!!  But what a stunning entry, Mercuno!

Yeah...I feel kind of bad about that.  His was much more impressive than mine though I could not find my big plastic owl to put in the tree....now that would have made all the difference.
