Name This Place Photo Game - #9

"Never Mind" - The apologetic statement made by Emily Litella (Gilda Radner), an elderly woman with a hearing problem seen on the "Weekend Update" segment of NBC's SATURDAY NIGHT LIVE in the late 1970s. Dressed in a simple dress and a sweater, Emily peered through her bifocals and read an editorial response only to discover in the middle of her report that she had gotten the theme of her story wrong. A typical example: "What is all this fuss I hear about the Supreme Court decision on a "deaf penalty." It's terrible. Deaf people have enough problems as it is..." When the on-air reporter pointed out her error, she crinkled her nose and humbly said to the audience "Never Mind." Other twisted topics included "Soviet Jewelry" and "Violins on Television" :grin: :grin: :grin:

Thanks Jeff, that's a picture of Fort ______ on the island of ______, right at the end of the pier...

So, which island is this?

Jason · March 23, 2004

Okay CruiseCrazies, the island is..

St Croix!

Based on the angle from which the photo was taken, it was most likely taken from or near Fort Frederick, the ancient red fort that is right on the water:

Yep, that was my next guess (since all the other islands were taken LOL)

Actually, I cheated! :grin:

I searched, and searched, and couldnlt find a photo of Ft. Frederick; so, I used one of Ft. Christian, in Charlotte Amalie, St. thomas, USVI, since they are "sister forts.".... :grin: :grin: :grin:
