RE: ❓ Steemit Quiz 2025 - Week 1
Round 2 - Question 2
What's the link / connection between the following places?
- Boston, MA
- Chicago, IL
- Kansas, KS
- Phoenix, AZ
Hint: Your granny might have come close to visiting these places.
Are you allowed to ask for clues in your puzzle? You have to circle it somehow. But if (according to Google, ChatGPT or other AIs I don't know) only two to four players are still guessing, it's going to be tight.
I'm not going to list all the pretty singers that my grandmother would have liked at some point, because I still have one try (which is a luxury). But music was a clue?
I know the bands Boston and Chicago (I danced to their music, I'm sure many other puzzlers didn't because they were too young...(crap, am I the granny?)). If you look deep into the Wiki, there are also bands called Kansas and Phoenix. But that doesn't fit! It doesn't suit you, I'm sorry.
Is Music the clue?

👉 Music is a crucial part of the link.
Boston, Chicago, Kansas and Phoenix are all bands.
Based on the hint, what's the additional detail that I'm interested in?
You can always ask 😉
Sidenote: Alexa's playlists for all of these keywords are very enjoyable

Boston, Chicago, Kansas all performed in their namesake cities in the mid to late 70s. But Phoenix did not.
Boston, Chicago, Kansas named their debut album or at least one song on it after the city names. But not Phoenix.
I'm struggling with Phoenix...
Am I on the right track?
I am an Apple user... 🤷♀️
❌ I'd love to award you the prize, but sadly, this isn't the final connection. You get my nomination for effort though!
Irrelevant to the question - Phoenix were more 90's pop - A French group. Fairly upbeat 🙂

Ouch, this red cross hurts a lot. It feels like you've done something very forbidden. Haha, I once had this complaint when playing Scrabble (and now I can relate to it very well 😂). We've been using this symbol ever since:
❤️🩹
Okay, next try in 6 hours. Gosh... 🤪
Somehow this question tickles me. Unfortunately, it also means that I no longer care about the others.
Maybe you've simply taken on too many questions that are stretched out over too long a period of time. People lose motivation (many of the first ‘here screamers’ don't even turn up). A few difficult questions, for which you give a little hint after every wrong answer, might be ‘easier’. Above all, it would be clearer (also for you).
👎
Round 1 was too easy so people didn’t arrive in time.
Round 2 is probably about right but too hard so people give up.
I wonder what Round 3 has to offer.
How many questions are unanswered? 5? That’s probably ok in my opinion. I have dropped the odd hint in my comments. Especially on this question and my most recent comment (not this one). I’ll think of a way to structure the hints so it’s fair on everybody.

Elvis Presley gave concerts in each of this cities in the year 1956… 😎

That's an impressive link and whilst not correct, it's the closest answer so far (not 50% close though).
👉 I'm not feelin' satisfied yet, but you've done enough to earn yourself another try.

No No strategy: Waiting for some other guessers and then I strike from the background with a sex bomb for grannies!

Tom Jones did ok with the nearly Grannys!

I also found Tom Jones very original. He's British and in the best age for ‘grannies’. Unfortunately, he didn't perform in all four locations. For all readers: neither did the Fab Four...
Oh that sounds great🤣

The British band, Fleetwood Mac, did a tour in 1975 that included these cities.
I don't know if my grandmother wanted to go🤔

❌ That's not the link that I was looking for
You're a similar closeness as chriddi was.
Maybe somebody close to your granny wanted to go? 🤔
In 1975 my granny had been retired already... 😂
Maybe she would have liked to do some world tours anyway🤔🤣
0.05 SBD,

Certainly!
From Elvis Presley (at least Granny knew him) to Fleedwood Mac... well...
Neither Tom Jones nor The Beatles...
Do you think I should become more modern? At least I won a second attempt and it's not used up yet... 😁
Justin Biber?

Oh, I don't know... It seems that it is more enigmatic for me to guess what they mean by granny, in my country there are 30-year-old granny... a few days ago I saw one who was 38 years old...😬

Round 2 - Question 2 - Hint
Should the Steemit Awards be renamed "The Steemies"?
Note: All guess timings are reset when a clue is shared (i.e. you do not have to wait 6 hours)

They are Jazz-loving cities. In them you can enjoy walks (Jazz Walk of Fame - Kansas), clubs (Wally's Café Jazz Club - Boston) and museums (National Jazz Museum - Chicago)
❌ Jazz is not the link that I'm looking for
These cities all have museums that have stood the test of time, some being around for decades and others for more than a century.
❌ That's not the answer I'm looking for
An act of desperation before my six hours are up (Sh..., this puzzle in my head is ruining all my day's activities, but I WANT to solve it, I WANT full marks.... 😫):
In the song ‘Route 66’ (written by Bobby Troup, covered by Chuck Berry, Nat King Cole and The Rolling Stones), all four cities are mentioned in different verses. Boston is not mentioned directly, but the area around the city is described.
👉 I'm so desperate for you to be correct, but you're not getting any closer. It's a shame that there wasn't a "Best effort" Nomination for the Steemit Awards.
Each city has legendary music venues:
Boston: The Paradise Rock Club and Symphony Hall.
Chicago: The Aragon Ballroom and House of Blues.
Kansas City: The Blue Room and Uptown Theater.
Phoenix: The Van Buren and Crescent Ballroom.
I dunno if some granny visited those venues, though
👎 That's not what the link that I'm looking for. chriddi has solved the music link... so there's only the 50% award for the remaining detail.
oops...
