[QUOTE="Bakersgma, post: 2203339, member: 59"]I see that name as well as "Court House Square" for the area with the rounded "common garden" around it. An odd element - the compass rose upper left shows that North is pointing to the right and down (toward the lower right corner) as opposed to pointing up (which is the usual orientation.) So that means the "river" is on the east of the town and is flowing south (see the arrow?) That rules out NYC. But this is also NOT Albany (although the Hudson is on the east of downtown Albany.) So we're looking for a place on the west bank of the Hudson that would have been big enough and important enough to have a court house square like this one.[/QUOTE]
