    Thanks, very enjoyable, but those landmarks were tough from here in the UK! Google helped me confirm quite a few of the thematic entries. I think the enumeration is wrong on 4D. Thank you!

      Oops, thanks for catching that, should be fixed now. And thanks for putting up with a very US-focused crossword!

      I swear doing these is like being in the same room with you.

        I'm not positive if that's a compliment or an insult lol
