Better hurry DJ! I'll be rolling soon!

The remains of The Checker Motor Company. Some of you might remember the iconic, bulbous nosed New York taxis of the 60's and 70's. This is where they were built.

Checker started in 1922. The last cab rolled of the line in 1982. Since New York City had a law that cabs couldn't be more that 5 years old, the last Checker-built cab left the streets of NYC around 1987. Since '82, Checker built parts for other car companies, namely GM. Checker did not survive the Great Recession and finally folded in 2010.

Next mark, an abandoned barn or farm house. Bonus points if you can get 'em both in one pic!

Maybe this will work, and if so the next mark is an RC Model flying field.

Aw man, an RC field...there's one just 20 miles from me....too bad there's a hurricane coming. How about "your bike in front of a hurricane?" LOL

RC Field.

Next mark, a road bridge over 100 years old. Proof of age by plaque on the bridge itself or by web page. Bonus if the bridge is still in use for autos.

marknpb · « **Reply #886 on:** August 28, 2012, 08:47:14 pm »

That leaves me out. Oldest one in the state is 90 years old.

70CB750 · « **Reply #889 on:** August 29, 2012, 04:31:35 am »

OK 130 years old and in this location since 1904-1928, looks like records are unclear:

Sweet!! Looks good to me. Call the next mark!

70CB750 · « **Reply #892 on:** August 29, 2012, 05:07:50 am »

Very easy to keep the ball rolling - Chinese Restaurant - it should not take long

OldSchool_IsCool · « **Reply #893 on:** August 29, 2012, 03:15:42 pm »

Chinese Buffet! If accepted, next mark will be a City Limits sign with either population or elevation listed. If this mark isn't found by Saturday, then any old city limit sign will do.

70CB750 · « **Reply #894 on:** August 29, 2012, 03:25:22 pm »

Perfect! Come on guys, new and cool mark just got posted.

cb650 · « **Reply #895 on:** August 29, 2012, 03:29:58 pm »

Went by several today but didnt know that was the mark.

DJ_AX · « **Reply #896 on:** August 29, 2012, 07:00:07 pm »

Hate to break the news but Sushi is Japanese... not Chinese.

OldSchool_IsCool · « **Reply #897 on:** August 29, 2012, 07:30:14 pm »

True, sushi is Japanese. But the buffet and the Mongolian Grill (Rho there they use the Japanese word, Hibachi ) are definitely Chinese.

OldSchool_IsCool · « **Reply #898 on:** August 30, 2012, 04:20:50 pm »

The view from inside. Definitely Chinese.
