Ok, so the Alamo’s in San Antonio, but 5000! from the LA Metblog tried Google mapping “hollywood sign” and got the expected results. The only landmark nearby that I could come up with was “The Alamo“.

Lots of stuff that’s fairly unique is on there.
Crap. I tried “Texas Capitol” and a few other permutations, but didn’t add “state” when I tried it.
I think UT falls into the same category as “the alamo”, “hollywood sign” and “statue of liberty”, but I think the other three you mentioned are a little different. They match entries with addresses. You get a zip and possibly other information with those. Or not. I’d be curious how Google handles them. It’s still pretty cool and not something I’d tried before.
This won’t be a popular choice here but Kyle Field pops up.
