I have no clue.

And speaking of clues. Your clue means nothing to me. :S

Wow.

I stumped Smash, even with a 2nd clue.

I picked a good one this time. You could call it a gem, but I think, technically, it's not. Would have to be a mineral to fit that bill.

Angelbaby, you even working on this one at all?

Good call, Bligs.

Yes, Perlan, or "The Pearl", as translated into English houses a geothermal power plant, a museum, and a fine restaurant, as well as some pretty notable architecture.

Been really busy this weekend, but it looks like Southern California to me. I did a quick scan from just north of San Diego to past Long Beach and didn't see it, though.

Is this that trailer park down in South Florida where they agreed to sell the land for like a half-billion dollars?

Briny Breezes, FL?

Winnar! The owners voted to sell it and the tenants are getting an average of 1.4 million for their trailers.

Ooh, good call. Shoulda thought of that. Couldn't believe the one guy that was there for only 4 years, or something like that, and didn't want to sell his trailer for that much because it was his "home". Gimme a break.

Image is coming out for me, but just in case it's only because I have it cached, follow the link. Lio is one of my favorite comic strips, and today's is very apropos for this topic.
