Where in the world is Andy? {Winner: BeckytheBlondie}

Andy is lost somewhere in the world. He's trying to read his map, but it's not very helpful because there's no "You Are Here" arrow.

You may use 25 yes or no questions to narrow down Andy's exact location. The winner will provide the street address where Andy is standing.

In order to encourage participation (and perhaps conserve precious questions), each player may not ask more than 2 consecutive questions.

Your biggest clue is a snapshot of Andy's location from Google Maps Street View.

Good luck, and happy hunting!

My guess is that he's in Pennsylvania, but I don't want to waste one of our valuable 20 questions... let's keep narrowing by cardinal direction related to a landmark. We know he's between minnesota, maine, delaware and pennsylvania and illinois.

You guys have already gotten it down pretty narrow with only 5 questions used; I'm quite surprised. You may not need all 20.

Greekdog's USA stab out of the entire northern hemisphere was pretty impressive; that probably saved you a few questions.

Suspicions confirmed. Team, how do we narrow down the states of

Pennslyvania, New York, new Hamshire, Vermont, Maine, Rhode Island, connecticut, new jersey, delaware and massachusetts

4 of the 10 have two words in their name, 4 border canada on land, only 2 border great lakes, 8 are on the atlantic...or we could narrow geographically again...

Or we can take another route by narrowing by metropolitan size....
