Rock on! Located south of the Capitol, CP 1 shares its name with the city in which the stone supposedly given to Abraham by the angel Gabriel is located.

Mountains for Mommy? Located north of the Capitol, this structure shares its name with the Humphrey Bogart character who finds his fortune, but never gets a chance to spend it. Find it for CP 2.

No ball games! CP 3 has got to be the smallest park in historic Oakwood.

And Her Husband's No Prize, Either. Located near Five Points, CP 4 shares its name, but not its spelling, with a long-legged diva whose cousin does commercials for a psychic hotline. Any signage will do.

I didn't know that! CP 5 is the intersection of two streets/avenues/whatever as clued below:
Street/Avenue/Whatever #1: Shares its name with really small (less than two square miles!) US island in the central Pacific Ocean.
Street/Avenue/Whatever #2: Shares its name with Mr. Dowd's imaginary friend.

 

 

Jarvis & Harvey Intersection

It's not like we promised! Once Upon a Mattress opened last night in Raleigh. CP 6 is the 1950 Venable memorial located within one-quarter mile of the spot where the show opened.

I'll Bet this Guy Was a Partier! Find a statue of a guy on campus at NC State University. Not any statue, mind you, but one in which the guy is reading a chemistry book. Take a photo cuz it's CP 7.

Isn't that a cocktail, too? CP 9 is a big (no make that REALLY BIG) metal grasshopper in downtown Raleigh.

Busting Out a Wacky Equation. Here it comes: First letter of blues great who jammed with "Call It Stormy Monday" Plus Ulysses' middle initial Plus Upbeat style of Jamaican pop music Plus A note to follow so Equals Checkpoint 11.

Ding ding! The Last One for Everyone was buried in 1976 in connection with the bicentennial. No need to dig it up. Just get a photo directly above it. BTW, it's north of the Capitol.
