Yeah I think it's probably too small of a town.  It's a popular tourist destination so I thought some folks would know it.  

Colorado is correct and think... gambling.

Yeah that's the Arno, and a super-famous bridge runs across it-- the Ponte Vecchio which translates to "Old Bridge."  During WW2 the allies took out many of the bridges in Florence, but they saved this bridge, along with much of Florence's  other historical architecture.


That's a nice picture.  I modified my earlier post to say that I thought I saw a minaret in your previous picture, and that steered me away from Florence.
Interesting how the Romance languages share similar vocabulary.
Vecchio in Italian is viejo in Spanish and vieux in French.
Georges Guynemer, France's 2nd-ranking ace in WWI with 53 victories, had painted on the side of his Spad, "Vieux Charles."

Gambling in Colorado?
Durango, at the other end of the Durango & Silverton Railroad?

Did you post this just to punish me for using too obscure of a photo?  If so, mission accomplished!

@Cincydawg ---You gotta be the winner and guess HB's, before posting a new one.

I'll admit I do not know HB's.
