The Fontainebleau is a fancy hotel on South Beach and would almost certainly have a spa.

I knew that there was a place with the same or similar name stateside that was all fancy smancy, so I went with SPA.

It seems that the fancy smancy place in France is a Royal Palace. When I first read the question, I precalled hotel in Florida, then spent 2-3 seconds trying to rearrange the choices letters to spell out "fancy hotel on South Beach" before settling on "spa".

BABY FACED NELSON was gunned down in Ohio, not Machine Gun Kelly.

I think the movie about Dillinger from a few years back opens with Nelson getting killed running through the woods in Ohio. Shoulda got this one right...

Meridian Hill Park is in Washington, DC. It is not the site of the Greenwich Observatory, nor does it contain any portion of the Prime Meridian. Ironically, I scored exactly zero degrees of longitude for this question

More than glad to help. Saw you on the boards the other day.

Now, if I can remember that Cuba is close to HAITI, I might be able to make the 4-7pm CD boards myself.

Well, if that was last Thursday or Friday, it was likely with more than a lil help from all of DTHDLR, THE ICEMAN, & NTROPY. :)

Fort Knox is in Kentucky, not Tennessee.

K for Kentucky. Hopefully, that helps me next time. Bye-Bye 14K game!
