If I had an nice phone with a data plan, I'd probably already be walking around there and the JFK Memorial. As it is, I gots to rely on free wifi and my netbook. Oh well, I'll have a nice phone with a data plan by the time this week is over, one way or another :)

Ditto. I was halfassed tempted to jack my buddy's iPhone to find this, but I have to deal. JFK memorial is too obvious, probably going to be somewhere where there's not a lot of traffic.

You say too obvious, but they just did the Country Music HoF :p

Maybe the Dallas Fish Market! ;)
 
NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!

TOO SOON :mad::(

Well it's downtown.. I'd say anywhere around West End/Victory Park is a good place to be.
 
going offline...will catch up with you guys later...good hunting

All i can really say is to not give up cause you can't get there in 5 or 10 minutes...if they hide it good, like they did at anchor bar, you have a chance, and you can still get to play with a dx and get a 20$ gift card!

can't wait to get a dx of my own!
 
Damn...I got there before it was found, but I didn't look under the gumball machine...

Okay, I staged near south I-Drive, because of a DM from DroidDecoder that said it would most likely be in the "box" of "I-4, 528, 417, and the 408. Probably to the west." So, I was there when the "downtown orlando" clue came. I hauled ass to downtown. Made it there by 12:19. I slowly drove past Church Street station, but the place was empty, so I continued to Lake Eola.

I drove a lap around Eola, saw a few people by the bandshell. I parked, tossed 50 cents in the meter and ran to the bandshell and started looking, then the GPS came out. 424 N. Bumby Ave, "Beefy King" restaurant.

I ran back to my car, jumped in, and sped like a bitch. Screw the 35mph and cobblestones...I was driving 60+. I was about the 3rd or 4th person there. I searched outside, nadda, went inside and it was standing room only, so many people were tearing up that place. lol At least 15+ hunters there, turning over napkin dispensers, opening up cabinets and tossing boxes around, etc...

I walked right by the damned gumball machine, with only looking around it and moving it a little. I searched some more outside, and by the time I went back inside, Ted had already found it.

Damn, but...It was fun as hell. lol

By the time I first went inside, the Verizon people were not even "hiding" The girl was standing on a seat, filming everyone as they searched, in her "Rule the Air" collared shirt. So, they were not even trying to be discrete, but I guess who cares, once everyone knows the exact address.

Side note: it was akward with everyone going crazy in there, because there were 3 cops eating lunch in there at the time, giving all of us hunters the evil eye. As I filled out my disclaimer and got my gift card, I heard one of the cops behind me eating, complaining about "these morons ruining my lunch break."

good job verizon...if that cop was a jerk, he could have started F'ing with everyone there. Luckilly, I guess the cop wasn't a jerk, and luckilly they were alrteady inside eating because let me tell you...I almost got hit pulling into the parking lot, by a different hunter flying the wrong way up that one-way alley behind the place. lol

damn... But, at least I got my gift card towards my new Droid.

PS: screw the haters...the phone is NOT too big. The screen was amazing! The speed is insane! and the txt to swipe is weird, but could be really cool if I was used to it. lol I kept lifting my finger up since I'm not used to it.

Good luck everyone. If anyone from the forums saw me there, I'm the one with short black hair, wearing glasses, and the grey T-shirt that bashes Bush and Obama as being the worst presidents. lol
