Here's my entry...

Falls Church High School, Falls Church VA -- Class of '91, baby!!

If you zoom in all the way you can see it pretty well, actually. The gray building to the left of the track/field houses the pool we used for the swim team.

The parking lot to the right of the school building is the student parking lot. When I was a student there, it only cost $10/year for a parking permit. The year after I graduated it was raised to $100/year -- HA! This photo was obviously not taken on a school day, there are no cars in the parking lot...

It is a bit random, I tried fenway park to begin with, certainly weren't a baseball field that came up *lol*
Though the directions are pretty good, well it gives names to some roads that mapquest doesn't, so combining the two is pretty handy...

Looks like a stadium to me. In fact a stadium and a half built stadium next to it.
