Will HGTV Green Home 2010 boast a lighthouse view? Photo by sneakerdog.

And the clue for today is … the number 99. Ponder, make a list of possible solutions and post them below. Good luck!

CATHY MANIAC= By any chance, are you the Same Person as CATHY LEMAR? Did you change your Log-In? Just Curious!!! Cuz’ Cathy Lemar was blogging a lot– then just went away!!! Let me Know.
Going out for the day,-I’m glad what you wrote, LYNN COGGIN—- I’m really hoping for Massachusetts too!!!! Be back tonight or tomorrow—- will try to “research” this—-but looks like Lynn Coggin has really good,solid info. on this.
I’m second guessing this one though—- because some bloggers (Cindy) thinks that it is a LightHouse in Maryland????
Diana
Okay, there is a green community that has views of the Mountains and is a short drive to the ocean. The AMTRAK travels downeastern there, as well. There is a lot for sale at $99,000 …. Look at Kittery, Maine and tell me what you think!! They have an awesome organic farm… And the City has a Wind Turbine!!! I have some more research to do!!! Kat, where are you…haven’t heard from you in a few!! Did u change your name…I saw familiar writing…but, it didn’t include a quote…. Love life by living green!!
CINDY= Very Good Info. too!!!! I just have to catch up and read all the blogs— can’t until tomorrow!!!
But is this “Very Strong Possibility” that this Lighthouse is in Maine or Mass. —- or, is it possibly in Maryland????
Diana
Yessirreeeeeee…it’s me
Missed you all! I have been doing some ancestry work…..but you know I can’t resist a good game with clues! LOL
Definitely Baltimore!
Diana – The photo above is definitely the 7 Foot Knoll Lighthouse in Baltimore, Maryland. It was originally located at the mouth of the Patapsco River (on Chesapeake Bay) – but was later moved to to the Baltimore Inner Harbor as a museum.
The photo above isn’t a clue, it’s just a teaser photo. The 2nd location clue features 4 photos, 3 of which were directly linked to Massachusetts.
1) Photo of a subway system(happens to be Toronto), but Boston has a Subway
2) Basketball Hoop in Mississippi: invented by Dr. Naismith and first played at the Springfield YMCA and Springfield College, not to mention that the NBA Hall of Fame is in Massachusetts as well.
3) Apples: John “Appleseed” Chapman, born 1744 Leominster, MA
4) The photo is of a Knitting Mill in Seneca Falls NY, but the first textile factory in the USA was in Waltham, MA
That is definitely Baltimore and the Inner Harbor! My daughters live in and love this city. We have been shown all the great views.
“First screw-pile lighthouse was constructed in the United States at Brandywine Shoal.
First iron lighthouse in the United States was built in a position directly exposed to the sweep of the ocean was completed at Minot’s Ledge, MA. It was destroyed in a storm the following year, killing two of its keepers.”
The photo above is definitely the 7 Foot Knoll Lighthouse in Baltimore, Maryland-Why would they give it away with the picture-too easy-
This was the question-”Will HGTV Green Home 2010 boast a lighthouse view?” and clue is number 99
CATHY MAINE (IAC)= Alright!!!! I had a strong feeling that it was you!!!! I’m Glad that you are Back!!!!!! I was Hoping that you’d come back at some point— especially because it may be in New England!!!! I don’t blame you about the log-on. When I was blogging with the Sonoma Home (first time with HGTV) —- my (log-on) had my last name—- and then I realized that my blogs were posted on the whole entire WWW—- so I changed it, just to my first name!!!!!
I’ve got to tell you about JAMES HOOK. You definitely steered me to a Great Restaurant!! I never did order the lobster ravioli. We had them a while back( made somewhere in Monterey, CA)— and I just didn’t like them. They were tasteless and fishy-smelling.
But—- I ordered Maine Lobster from JAMES HOOK. I’ve got to tell you— my Dad totally freaked out that they were “Alive”. He made me take them down to the local fish market to have them “prepared” for cooking—- LOL, the fish market thought that I was being “silly” too!!!!!
They were Delicious, and the BEST that I Ever Had!!! I will be ordering from them again—- Marie Miller, Ed from Oregon, and DB Coop gave me good advice how to handle live lobsters—- and I’ll just find a way to “get over it”!!! I’ll just be strong and try not to feel guilty—-LOL LOL
Cathy— one thing, they also shipped me complimentary clams, too. I will without a doubt—- definitely be ordering clams— probably frequently. In Florida, you cannot get clams like this—- bottom line— no where. The clams in Florida are tiny and small, and most won’t even open up after cooking. They are not like the clams from the North East—- so we also enjoyed spaghetti with “Real” Clam Sauce—- a delicacy that we just could never, ever, ever get in Florida, like this!!!!!
Diana
GLENN NYC and CINDY= OK, thanks. I’m really hoping for Massachusetts though. CINDY— thanks— you are right, the clue is
” Number 99″— gives us hope, I guess!!!!
” I LOVE BOSTON ”

Gotta go—- out for the day, going out tonight for “Baby Back Ribs” for the Fourth
Be Back Tomorrow—-
Hey, don’t everyone Forget—- The Famous Coney Island Hot Dog Eating Contest is on TV Live tomorrow!!!
Diana
As I questioned myself yesterday, are there breweries in Massachusetts? Sure there are, so talking about 99 bottles of beer, is a clue linked to breweries really off the wall?
After all, there’s the Boston Brewing Co, which is maker of the well-known Samuel Adams beer, among others. And as Cindy also commented, there’s that famous “Cheers” quote: “When you’re number 99 there’s a target on your back. It’s like Norm of the TV show “Cheers” said to Sam Malone as he walked to his usual bar stool after a long day: ‘“You ever feel like the world’s a dog, and you’re wearing Milk-Bone underwear?”’ That’s how No. 99 must feel!”
Could this be the answer to MARY’s infamous clue “Number 99″? That is, Boston? Stay tuned, folks; it’s going to be a bumpy ride.
Is it too early in the day for a beer?
the house will be in nc
Show Me: It’s never too early for a beer…especially during the Summer time….more later…gotta run!! Tah! Tah!!
Show Me – You know the famous saying about Happy Hour…”It’s five o’clock somewhere.” LOL!
Living the Dream!
The Oregon coast makes perfect sense.
I got it! I got it! I got it!…hehehehehe
MY KNOWING GUESS IS……..BALTIMORE MARYLAND!!!!!! Seven Foot Knoll, 1856. Inactive since 1987. 40 ft (12 m): 1-story round cylindrical wrought iron keeper’s cottage crowned by a round cylindrical lantern and gallery. Lighthouse painted dark red, lantern black. Originally mounted on a screwpile foundation near the entrance to Baltimore Harbor,the lighthouse was relocated in October 1988 to Pier 5 on the Inner Harbor waterfront, where it is now a familiar landmark. Located at the end of Harbor Magic Drive off Pratt Street in downtown Baltimore.
The Industrial Revolution of the US began in the northeastern states. That would explain the factory photo clue.
The 1st subway system in the US was built in NY city. NY city is in the northeast. So my best guess would be that the 2010 Green Home is going to be built in ME, MA, or MD.
I agree with everyone that the east coast is likely from the picture, there is a nice little green community is SE Wisconsin where the lots are 5 acres. I would perfer it there.
NEW GREEN HOME BY HGTV WILL BE BUILT ON OLD HWY NUMBER 99!!! Maryland Route 99 is a 7.6-mile (12.2 km) section of Old Frederick Road from MD 32 to US 29 in Howard County, Maryland near the Waverly Woods Golf Course. This is on the Western Side of Baltimore right off Interstate 70.
It is going to be built at the Waverly Woods Golf Course on Old Hwy 99, i.e. Old Frederick Rd. in Baltimore MD.
Glad you got to get some Maine Lobstahs Diana….they always ship live and if one of them is dead when you get them – NEVER cook it. I teethed on lobstah claws LOL….sick of them.
When I first posted, I did not know that it would put my last name. I thought it best to change my login.
Missed you! Did they pick the superfan yet?
Hi all-well, Carter said an “M” state and i clicked on the photographer credit hyperlink, which took me to his photo collections & this pic was in his Baltimore album, so i’m going with Maryland.
To add to my previous and last guess, “It is going to be built at the Waverly Woods Golf Course on Old Hwy 99, i.e. Old Frederick Rd. in Baltimore MD.”; The Seven Foot Knoll Lighthouse was originally located at the mouth of the Patapsco River and then moved… The Patapsco River Valley runs right by the Waverly Golf Course on Old Hwy 99. So, this only substantiates my guess…
Moondoggy could it be your planning a Green Rehab in the North End of Boston as in ‘Little Italy’… the absolute ultimate in inner city living, the history, the mom & pop ristorante's, the friendly faces, the entertainment, musica, no doubt a place ready for upgrade in Green design.
Oh and just maybe a ‘Wise-Guy’ or two standing out on the sidewalks smoking a wonderfully aromatic cigar.
Mama Mia’s Goombah, Mm mm I can smell the Italian sausages and pizza-pies now. Vieni fra le mie braccia. We shall see…
I can hear the Rat Pack singing… let me get my snap-on! Everybody Loves Somebody, Return To Me… la la laaa la la… Ciao, have a safe holiday his/your hotness.
Baltimore, MD
I think it is Baltimore Md. That would be an ideal place for a green home. I can just see it now with the trees in the fall, winter snow and cool summers.
What about Bonita Springs or Estero, Florida?
To add to my previous and last guess, “It is going to be built at the Waverly Woods Golf Course on Old Hwy 99, i.e. Old Frederick Rd. in Baltimore MD.”; The Seven Foot Knoll Lighthouse was originally located at the mouth of the Patapsco River and then moved… The Patapsco River Valley runs right by the Waverly Golf Course on Old Hwy 99. So, this only substantiates my guess…
Old Frederick Rd. begins much further west than MD 99′s western terminus, at TWIN ARCH Rd. a few miles east of “MOUNT AIRY”.
The 2010 give alway house will be in Michigan
The new give alway of 2010 will be in Michigan.
I ‘D like to say the next home is on Maine Coast.. but its Maryland just cuz i was born & raised in Maine .. now living in Tx….
Ok I’m stumped. Can hardly wait to find out.
Glenna Calton,
I think it would be great if the next HGTV Green Home was in Maryland. Unfotunately, I don’t think Mary has given enough clues to pinpoint the exact location. So, if you live in Baltimore and happen to see any of the HGTV crew, please post here immediately! Fellow bloggers will investigate further.
That is in Maryland
Hmm the real question is weather you set one place setting or for however many multi personalities that seem to be lying within those 99 “M” clues.
My head is spinning I lost count after 10 or 20. Ooh wait its only 8 “M” states. What a beau-ti-ful Mary-land day! Big huge smiley face!!!
When will a person of color be a winner? So far, all of the winners have been Anglo. Is this a coincidence or is this sweepstakes rigged?
I have in figured out its Capitol Heights, Maryland (MD) the zip code is 20799 I think that is my research
Since the 2010 Green Home will be in the Bay State of Massachusetts, most likely not too distant from Boston itself, I think we should take a good look at the Whitman Homes company (developer/builder) with offices in Canton, MA. They have a number of great projects around the coastal communities: The Pinehills in Plymouth (with its Duxbury Pier lighthouse, built 1871); The Hummock, Carver, MA; The Bay Club, Mattapoisett, MA (at Buzzards Bay, with another lighthouse at Ned’s Point); Shining Rock, Northbridge in central MA; or the Evelyn Estates of Canton, MA.
The Pinehills community in Plymouth, with custom build homesites available in the Ryecroft, Island Rock, and Pinecobble developments, sounds delightful. (Don’t forget the Duxbury Lighthouse, visible from Plymouth Harbor.)
The Bay Club at Mattapoisett is a stunning planned community with all of the most desirable lifestyle activities, including a yacht harbor in nearby New Bedford. (The bonus is another lighthouse, at Ned’s Point, built in 1838.
So will one of these developments be in the cards for the 2010 Green Home? More shall be revealed (we hope) by coming attractions (or distractions) in the form of clues from our sneaky Senior Editor.
Take it easy on us, MARY; we may have had a very active 4th of July weekend.
I think its Massachusetts… maybe on Cape Cod…. or anywhere along the shore is nice. I think 22 means the 99 Restaurants here too.
this is the seven foot knoll lighthouse in baltimore’s inner harbor-pier 5…
Sue, I’m with you – I’m all for Maine!!
