Any thoughts about the fact we know it refers to Turkey/a turkey? Let's have some movement here...I was considering the Turkey country code (90) or another number associated with the country? That doesn't take into account "astride a treasure"....what does Turkish money look like?

Pasta to throw at wall:
Priam's treasure was found around 5/27/1873 in modern Turkey.
A city formerly called "Ginc (Genc) [now] Kaleköy [or] Solhan...name comes from Middle Persian گنج 'genc', which means treasure...[don't] confuse[] with the modern day city of Genç." - from Wikipedia: Geographical name changes in Turkey.
Bowling - three strikes in a row = turkey. Minimum point value of a turkey is 60 pts. 6 strikes = wild turkey, minimum 150 points. 9 strikes = golden turkey, minimum 240 points. Maybe we are imagining two more strikes (next +2?) in which case it is min. 290 points. Unless the first throw is the miss, I suppose, so actually minimum 270 points? I don't know that the strikes count for a turkey if they aren't in separate frames (the last frame causes this question)
This website (https://en.bab.la/dictionary/turkish-english/) translates treasure as hazine, which seems to actually mean treasury - fits with the spare no expense thing, though?
That same website also provides the translation treasure -> define, but I'm having a lot of trouble doing searches with that one...
Some people refer to Turkey as "astride two worlds" (Asia and Europe)
Turkish money is Lira, but I don't see anything that could be called astride all of them....
sigh

I think it has to do with a phone keypad.
“The next plus two sits aside a treasure” X marks the spot traditionally so X is astride a treasure. One of the next 3 numbers is X (or 9 on a phonej.
A bird that’s rarely thrown. He’s confirmed this is a turkey. What kind of turkey remains a question, but I think he means XXX for bowling.
So look beside XXX would be beside 9 on the phone pad. He could mean the digits next to it sequentially, so something like 890, 009, etc. Or he could mean physically beside the 9 key which would include mno (6) and tuv (8) so 698, 669, etc. If he includes a diagonal key as “beside” that could include jkl (5).
That’s just my theory.

EDIT: ACK!!!!! I was totally wrong earlier and I have no idea where this structure is. I really thought I had it figured out. Will think more about it tomorrow. Nice job to those who actually found it!!!! NOTE: I'm leaving the original post text of me being super wrong below: Okay, now we have a new video clue with a screenshot - and I figured out the location of the screenshot immediately (woohoo!) but I have NO IDEA how to apply that knowledge to the stanza. At least it's giving me something new to think about today. Who else found the location?

At least it's giving me something new to think about today. Who else found the location? Is there an address? Do you know what is in the screenshot or how the stanza would have led you to this location eventually? I have not done gone searching yet, I suppose just a reverse image or something, hm.

The FBI man monitoring my google searches is just seeing a bunch of "blue pink building" "green pink building" "blue pink building turkey" "green pink building greece". There's only so many combinations I can try...

Alright. I no longer care about the hunt itself; my new life goal is just to find this gosh darn building.
