Rock Sushi? (a place downtown) ...maybe a big Rock somewhere in Ohio thats a land mark?

I am guessing the latest clue is reffering to some sort of sign being pulled behind a plane. Just think that would give the oppertunity to a lot of people to go online and put in the code.

That flies right in the face of almost every half-worthwhile clue they've given so far as well as everything they state in the bio statement on the Twitter account. That would be neat otherwise, though.

Is it just me, or is there no PR accounts to follow for the south east or Florida?

Wow...from the 2002 Census, Florida is the 4th most populated state. Is Verizon really going to snub a state with so many people in it...even a big city like Miami? Number 1 collegiate football teams...and so many pro sports teams...AND the tourist capital of the United States?

0.o

I seriously hope those PR accounts have nothing to do with this contest.............

You read that there's one in Florida right?

I think you might have been the 3rd person to check the HOF. No one that I can recall has gone to the Hard Rock cafe, tho. Give 'er a shot and report!
 
Yeah, that's why I said I hope those twitter accounts have nothing to do with the contest. Because if they do, someone messed up and forgot to share the ones for Florida.

That would mean Florida hunters will miss our clues....

can't make out what the arrow is pointing to...please clarify for us:)
Click to expand...

its pointing to an app (someone added the arrow...these are old)....these billboards where from the orginal droid release i found on thhr net (they look similar to the ones i just saw in cleveland...but newer)...i wish i would have looked inside the new billboards to see if it had the image of the Droid X ....like those have the Droids
 
ok maybe im reading too much into this......but the last clue got me thinking....check this pic of the Rock N Roll Hall....notice the huge light out front....and the huge light in the back.....maybe is a Lord Of The Ring type deal....with the spotlight? maybe eventually it will be on top of the hall where the back light is shining? .....idk....just throwing it out there :)

Dear Verizon,

The next time I get a tweet text from Droidlanding and it doesn't have a solid clue in it, I will be calling you to replace my phone because I will have thrown it across the room. I don't care about finding a Droid X for myself, I just want one of my androidforums.com buddies to find one so we can all cheer. Thank you.

:cool:

I assume it's possible to get to this spot without having to pay any money? My point being, you never hide an item, geocache, etc in a place that cannot be reached without having to pay. If you can get to this spot without paying, then yes, it's worth a look.

Dear Asurion,

Do you do replacements for LCD HD TV's? I followed the advice of DroidLanding:
"The next time someone tells you “hey, look at that”, you better look. It might be the Droid X."
A commercial came on for Verizon, and a girl was holding the mysterious Droid X. My friend said, "hey look at that", so I tried to "take" it from her hands and somehow ended up with a crack across my TV screen. Thanks in advance for your support.

DROID does!... but DroidLanding doesn't.. The only thing it does is make people waste money on gas and entrance fees to museums. lol.
