Good stuff!
Your turn now.
Here are the hints that I was dropping about Vertigo and the hospital:
“I hope you’re not sick of these yet.”
The building is a former hospital
“Let’s see if you can track this one down…”
Jimmy Stewart plays a detective in the movie
“Futuregirl, stop OCD’ing. You’re going to drive yourself insane.”
It’s a sanatorium in the movie…
“Almost caught me off-balance with that one, because of something that will be obvious once it’s solved.”
off-balance = vertigo … “solved” the mystery in the movie
“Another view of the building: It seems to be pretty high.”
Jimmy Stewart’s character has acrophobia – a fear of heights
“What you want to do is find out the significance of the place, and play detective from that point of view.”
“you’ll make yourself dizzy trying to find this place/”
“Not everything is as straight-forward as it seems.”
Surprise ending, deception in the movie
“We’re spiraling into some weird mystery here.”
The movie poster has a big spiral in it. It’s also a mystery
“Paint fumes can cause nausea and vomiting, so make sure you get some fresh air and login to HTMF every few minutes.”
The big omission/neglect from most of us–me for sure-- is that we fail to pay attention to the all the important clues given to us…because, we don’t realize at the time that they are actually “clues”.

I like that but the poster shouldn’t be expected to give hints. Totally by choice. MiG likes to do that because he likes to play with our minds.

Don’t assume anything, that’s where this one went wrong.
People started assuming that it was in Europe because of the “battles in WWII” answer. BTW, there were numerous battles fought in the USA during WWII.
Normally people don’t do the hints thing, but the #7 hints by Jees were awesome.

Yeah that was pretty genius, especially the identifying the trees… I thought you had it as soon as you said “Northern California.”
