    That helped. Halona Cove, Oahu, Hawaiian Islands, where Burt Lancaster and Deborah Carr shocked the Catholic League of Enforced Prudishness with their passion on the beach in From Here To Eternity. Never saw that movie - I'll have to pick up the DVD. The other picture is of Schofield Barracks. I was wrong about it being south of the Equator, but it is definitely in the tropics.

    Hmmm. Well, you kinda gave away the city, Orion, but I didn't actually find your building, so I'm not taking credit. I'm not sure everyone wants me to go next anyway. :D

    Hold on there a bit - there wasn't a THING wrong with your Salt Lake City post - it's a legitimate entry & it's up to us to find the thing. Salt Lake City's a big place - the K house is far from found or identified.

    If nobody comes forward in the next few hours, then post more clues to its location, as is the standard in the game so far, until someone DOES pin it down.

    That's my recommendation, anyway.

    Is this in the suburbs?
    If you look at this place on a map originating from the googlemaps website,does it have the traffic button?

    Yes, there is a traffic button.

    Hint: it's near a freeway.

    Still thinking about "K"s? ;)

    Looking North from the observation deck you'll see a monument, actually an entire city, named after the same important American.
