Well-known waterways
Famous inns
Charming towns
NY state canals? The Thames area in England? Other areas of Europe? Maryland?
I'm leaning toward the NY canals right now.

What an easy Topix game, what did you all think of that?
Here is an example of the questions for those who missed it...
What is 2+2?
1. Gone with the Wind
2. Four
3. Uncle Vinnie
4. Saturn
5. Nematode
As for next week's Passport game, the posse will be studying Venice, New York Canals, and American Samoa.

The advertised TOPIX game did not run. Instead a kids trivia game was played. Evidently, the same thing happend last Friday during a scheduled RetroTV game.

Anyone think it could be somewhere in France perhaps?

Could be. Several other areas of Europe could be candidates too.

I think it is almost certainly the NY State Canal System. Having boated a portion of the Erie Canal a couple of years ago, towns such as Lockport, Little Falls and Palmyra are historical and picturesque and there's some good beer drinking to be done in the old fishing inns en-route. Of course there are other famous canals such as Oswego and Champlain with equally historical sites. It would surprise me if this wasn't the destination.

It also could be just any area with a river-side town (not necessarily a large city). Generally, it could be lots of places.
And "charming towns"? It depends on what consititues as being "charming".

Sacramento, CA, a charming town by a river.

The Grand Union Canal System ? Nah, that would be too easy.

Very late to put in my thoughts ... but Belgium / Netherlands seems to fit. Very extensive canal systems.

Well ... I'm not sure anyone was close to the real destination (Romantic Cities) (and while I think that giving a good set of clues to lead you to this particular destination would have been quite hard ... I thought they did a particularly bad job even so ... I must say that I enjoyed the game very much even though I and my wife did terribly (and the site did worse). When se sat down to play there were 8 people already playing so of course we each played only one playmaker apiece ... never again. By the end of the game all eight of the others had logged off. From now on at that bar we will play 5 playmakers, just to make sure that there are 5 boxes that play the entire game.
Congrats to Jumpin' Joe's (Janet) on your 13th place finish. Last week (Route 66) you finished 5th ... one ahead of Bennigan's Denver (my alternate site ... they typically play only Showdown and a little Six but last week part of the crew played Passport as well and I must say we were very pleased with our work (even if you did take us out Janet ... at least our high board surpassed yours ...  ).
Foxup and Mike ... what bar do you play? (so that I can look for you in the rankings!). My normal Passport bar is Bennigan's Littleton (though we've rarely made national notice).
cheers all ...
SS/MYSTIC/TSIMRI/GIL (depending on bar and whim ..

Hi SS
Mike and I play out off Dannys Lounge, Palm Harbor. We all play individual so your unlikely to find us in the rankings. My scores are usually pretty good but our average is woefull due to lack of knowledge of the other players. Allthough I only made 20000+ points last nite no one else came close to that. Very sad.
