Contest Time: Where in the World is the RP?

Since I travel quite a bit, I’m introducing a new feature to The Recovering Politician — borrowing with gratitude from PBS, the Today show, and The Daily Dish — Where in the World is the RP?

To win, you must be the first person in the comment section to name the location where I am standing in the pictures below.  Identifying the city is not good enough — please give a more precise location within the city.

The winner receives a free signed copy of The Compassionate Community.  My family, close friends, and business associates who already know my whereabouts are disqualified.

Speaking of my book about faith and public policy, today’s contest features pictures of me meeting new friends and sharing the multi-faith, love-your-neighbor message of The Compassionate Community.

Guess away in the comment section below!

UPDATE 3:52 PM Winner, winner, chicken matzoh ball soup dinner: John Hawkins correctly guessed that the RP was standing in the right-wing, conservative hot bed of Union Square, San Francisco. John will collect an autographed copy of The Compassionate Community, as soon as the RP escapes from the clutches of his new friends.
