New: What In The World Happened Here? CXXXIV(134)  some (late) info on this one- already figured out by Salty, and also in Alan's summary page. I underlined some of the clues: The balloons flown included both the the Intrepid and the Constitution, flown at the Battles of Gaines Mill and/or Fair Oaks, part of the more familiarly known First Battle of Cold Harbor by those in union suits. All of this part of the Peninsula Campaign east of Richmond, Va during the War between the States. description of the picture or it could be at Gaines Mill Balloon Corps And don't forget Th adeus Lowe!

What In The World Happened Here? CXXXVII (137): Animals playing instruments on the door to some place. One can search a lot of combinations of words related to that theme. Eventually, something saucy will turn up. The place is a plant of some kind.

AlanK took more than 3 days to solve this. That's some kind of a record.

There was an anniversary involved, a few months back.

There was an anniversary involved, a few months back. There is also one coming up. The pictured building opened on October 28, 1972.

Apparently, there are no fleets of eponymous limos anymore.

Of course you had me thinking "next time I say l say 'let's go to Bolivia', let's go to Bolivia." But, as far as I can tell, it's not the right place.

Wouldn't want to hurry things too much here, but giving any additional clues would end this puzzle.

Steve and Wagga have the place, but the specific answer(s) to the question may be more elusive. You may have to drill down more than a little bit.
