License plates ring any bell? We all know how that turned out. :lol:

Yes, but surely they could get excellent photos in other places as well. You don't have to be in LA to do that.

Agreed. There are other decent enough places in the US that they could start at, and the pictures would be neat due to a nice backdrop. (Okay, besides the backyard of my house, but I doubt they'll be coming here anytime soon. :lol:)

I just want them to come back to the East Coast.  I mean, we're more than just New York, and we don't bite  :tup:

While the logistics of this would be hard, this would make an excellent Finish Line location.

Oh, I completely agree.  No eliminations at the starting line.  My thought was something like this:  They start at the Rose Bowl, and teams must make their way on foot to the Norton Simon Museum and locate a piece of art, which they have a detail of a face to match.  Then they must correctly identify the city in the artwork.  When they have correctly identified the city to a museum guard nearby, they are given their next clue which includes flight information.  The first teams get the early flight, but no elimination.  Then they pick a Mercedes from the parking lot and head to LAX.
