What with so many tourist attractions across the world, I wondered about some of the ones Tracy picked. Old man hanging on to the past, kicking and screaming at newfangled terms! Some neat finds, too, the JEFFERSON MEMORIAL, MADA ME TUSSAUDS, TI MES SQUARE all places people go to visit.īTW, I cringe every time I hear people say "usie," as in a selfie with more than one person. SELFIES featured today, tourist attractions all with the M-E string - get it, ME in a selfie? Fun idea. Many thanks to Will, Joel, and Sam for their editing, and for coincidentally running the puzzle on the day when I will be visiting 106-across - and yes, taking a selfie!! Some of my selfies that didn't make it to the grid included visits to TIANANMEN SQUARE, TRANSAMERICA PYRAMID, HOLLYWOOD WALK OF FAME, METROPOLITAN OPERA, NOTRE DAME CATHEDRAL, and all but one of every MEMORIAL and MONUMENT you can think of. In fact, I googled every one of the locations I used in the puzzle and not surprisingly, there were scores of selfie images of those who had beaten me to the punch. looking for side-by-side "ME" letters and tried to garner a varied and fun list of places where a selfie might be snapped. I pored over lists of tourist attractions, theme parks, World Heritage sites, landmarks, museums, sporting and concert venues, bucket list locations, etc. In this social media age of posting, tagging, hashtagging, tweeting, sharing, and TMI, I was inspired to create a crossword that would be interpreted as my Facebook newsfeed, with status updates and selfies chronicling my imaginary life as I traipsed across the globe.
