  1. Your whale reference is wrong. Those are two humpback whales by the golden gate bridge, from star trek iv.

    The black baloon is not a reference to It. If it was for It the baloon would be its notable red.
    The black baloon is a reference to the Black Phone. The kidnapper used black baloons

    1. @Aley, I’ve already included Scuttle in the Little Mermaid reference before. However, after a while keeping searching for the pineapple house, I finally made it. Thanks for your hint about Spongebobs.

  6. What about the paddlewheel with all the lights on, in the foreground of the river? It was in an older one – not sure which – but, its just appeared in my Roku cityscape, August 2023. The old musical “Showboat”, maybe? I’m not sure what else it could be.
