My guess would be Central Park in New York; I beleive the Dakota where he lived was very close by.

That is correct, the Dakota, built in the late 1800's stands alone on Central Park West in this photo...(Keeping in the "Old Street Theme&quot

Keeping with the ice skating theme...(I was just getting ready to post this when you posted your pic Chris [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/shocked.gif[/img] )

This is my aunt (my mom's sister) and my cousins:

Can anyone guess what major US city this is? (they live in a different state than me)

Hint: They didn't have to travel very far if they wanted to check out the new cars at Yenko Chevrolet [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/wink.gif[/img]

This was a somewhat famous shot of The Beatles on their first trip (Feb 1964) to New York. They had never been to America before (well, George had, just to visit his sister, before they were famous), and New York just overwhelmed them. They were escorted around as photographers snapped hundreds of pictures.

No one (especially John) in 1964 could have foreseen a time when Lennon would settle in New York years later, and in this photo you can see the exact location where he would live (and tragically die) in 1980.

Note: Harrison was absent from these photo shoots, because he had a severe case of the flu. So severe in fact that they didn't think he would be able to appear on the Ed Sullivan Show. Sullivan said that if Harrison didn't play, Ed himself would put on a Beatles wig and take his place. Interesting when you see the original 1964 TV broadcast, as George looks fine, but in fact he was deathly ill.
