[XEscapeTheLiesX]

NYC = 5 boroughs. 90% Manhattan but might be elsewhere... My $0.02

LONGTIME

this is where it is or was at everyone, my guess is that the clue being taken down means it was found. On to the next one...

 

[Zanzaras]

And there's the GPS Coords

"Long Time" is a water wheel piece of art in Rockefeller Park.

Approximately: 40.718103,-74.015558

Curious, are you familiar with that piece/area or did you do some google wizardry?

[Edit: Google MAPS wizardry maybe..]

Long Time, by artist Paul Ramirez Jonas, is a working water wheel that captures the beauty of the majestic Hudson River while harkening back to its shipping and milling history. Placed at the end of Pier 66, it turns with the tide as the river ebbs and flows. The wheel is constructed of stainless steel and has a diameter of 26 feet

Maybe someone should call them up and ask them if they can pick up the Droid at the other end of the peer.

I was. I was hoping they wouldn't so that I wouldn't be upset with them for really making this a race. I'm not afraid to say I was wrong.

 

[zane!]

It's at the END of a 500 ft pier. Funny.
