#51: In Boulevard Heights, near the City Limits

Whilst riding yesterday with my broski, my spidey sense tingled just in time for me to catch a glimpse of the newest domino. It lies so close to the city limit, that at the time I was wondering if I was finding the first domino in the county. I held in my excitement until I could get home and check the map. According to Google Maps, the city limit line is just a few hundred feet away, passing through the cul de sac at the other end of the block.

These lay at the intersection of Weber Road and Webmore Drive, just off of Morganford. Note the new pavement, in which the dominoes lay.

Stay tuned.

Reader Submissions - Morganford and Loughborough

Happy 50th! Location, that is.

I was contacted recently by a nice reader who have me a hot lead on a location of which i was previously unaware. It was an easy one to miss, too - a single domino located in the middle of the crosswalk, as opposed to being near the corner or next to the curb, which is where I have more-or-less trained myself to look. The pavement was releatively new, apparently having been re-paved in the last 6 months or so.

Is this intersection considered Boulevard Heights or Holly Hills?

Anywho, she told me it was on the northwest corner, but I didn't see it at first, so I had to circle in the intersection like a chump for a couple minutes. NBD.

Perhaps these are all some sort of coordinate system for aliens when they attack - kind of like crop circles. I wonder if there are any of these dominoes placed in really hidden locations, where they'd likely never be found. So far, they've all be out in the open, easy to find if your looking down.

Stay tuned, brah.

Another in Carondelet

Thanks to my vast network of eyes and ears that are working on my behalf, I have become privy to yet another pair down at the intersection of Bates and Virginia, right in the heart of Carondelet.

3/3 to 5/6

The very little knowledge I have about the game of dominoes leads me to believe that those two dominoes would not be played in a formation like that. But to quote Forest Gump, "I'm not a very smart man."

Stay tuned...

Phantom Domino at Gresham and Kingshighway?

A few weeks ago I was out running, jammin' to a smoove mix of Isley Brothers and The Spinners, when I happened to look down as I crossed over Gresham. Being a sunny day, the shadows pointed out a subtlety in the (new?) pavement. I doubt I would have noticed this while on the bike, so it must have been destined by the gods atop Mount Olympus. I am reasonably sure there was recently two dominoes in a "T" formation until they were either removed or knocked out.

This location is in a veritable hotbed of pavement domino activity, and the size and depth of of the impression is spot-on for 2 dominoes like the ones I've already come across. I'm going to add this to my list of locations with a Barry Bonds-style asterisk next to it.

Were they removed on purpose? Is there a clashing faction of anti-domino activists working to rid the city of this mystery? Perhaps it is an inside job within the group who is installing them in the first place - someone who has seen my blog here and is trying to erase all the evidence - me included! Oh man, shit is about to get real. I better go buy some grenades.
