I give up, I know I can be stupid at times, but for 4 hours i have been searching and absolutely nothing. Should be relatively easy. grab a screen shot. save it to your computer a JPEG. Go to images.google.com click the camera icon drag image file across to the search box. Google goes away and does it thing. Well it very helpfully tells me I a have an image of a ROOF, well thanks google , I click Visually similar images and then trawl through them and after 5 or 6 screens of images google being my friend yet again says "Looks like you've reached the end" been a while since I did an image search. Has google changed this, or am I just being unlucky?

I am going to update/edit my previous post in a sec, but I wanted to add to the thread and say I was totally wrong before!!!! I thought I had the location (nearly identical building but VERY much wrong when it came to where it is) but I am still in the dark. I didn't have much time to work on it today, hope to get a chance this week to give it more thought and pinpoint the correct location in the screenshot. The strangest thing is that I feel like it's somewhere I've been before - it's like when you are trying to think of a word, and it's on the tip of your tongue but you can't quite remember it. I'm trying to remember how I know this place! For the record, I've been a lot of places - 49 U.S. states and more than 70 countries, so there's always a chance I've been there! Darn it!!!! Now to go back and edit my original post today.

I don’t think google’s reverse image search will work on this one. Google will match against images it knows about but I don’t think that applies to something you see using google map street view. That’s not really an image. Unless someone took a picture of this building and posted it on a blog or something. But why would they?

If no reverse image is possible then how in the hell did you all find it so fast!

I could tell by the colors that it was in an area I searched quite a while ago. Having said that, I never would have known what he was looking for if not for the video hint.
My question is... Is the picture a hint to one obvious word? Or, a hint to numbers?

I FOUND IT! MIRACLES HAPPEN! AH! The problem now is I'm not quite sure how the stanza would have even led us to the location, let alone how to use the location to solve the stanza. I'm assuming it somehow gives us 3 numbers to fit into the first key, but I'm confused as to how the location leads to that.

Yup, that's how I found it too. The colors of the building pointed me in the right direction, and the building just looks like it's a _____. So I googled ______ in ______ and saw images of different ones. But one was the same color building, so I used street view on the address and it was the same building.

I'm still searching.
To me it looks like one of those old american diners, or those weird (well to us in Ireland) chapels/churches you see an an old movie.
Played for hours with a pink Cadillac idea, seems to e lots of diners an motels using them as a theme. and a pink Cadillac would fit perfectly with Detroit
Also played with the Route 66 idea thinking doesn't that head from Michigan direction down to California
It seems google image searches are super sensitive to word order, and word spelling. If I switch spelling from Americanised spelling to English UK I get totally different images. Same if I swap word order. I could be searching for the right thing but never get it.
Just going to have to keep plugging away, I'm sure I will get it eventually.

I was able to find the image and the numbers that are for Stanza 4 the problem is now that he said it’s not 4566 for stanza 5, I don’t know the last 4 digits to unlock key one. Google images and maps really helped!

The colors remind me of Miami, but I thought the building would be in Michigan. Is it a roller skating rink? A bowling alley? Ben and Jerry's? Trader Joe's? Would it be known to someone from another country? I love the hunt, but this has me perplexed.

Ya, I'm not sure how one is supposed to progress on a map hunt. Where do I possibly start? I no longer think it's the country of Turkey, but there are many, many, many [type of building I think the screenshot is] across the world....I need to figure out the starting place!

Maybe the bush in front is shaped into a logo or some design?

Pulling my hair out trying to find those last 4 digits. I think I tried every combination of every suggestion on every post. But I obviously missed something.
