The video location was pinned down
My Internet connection went down for a couple of days. ¿The causes? Another enigma. I called my ISP’s Tech Support but they sweared they didn’t notice any signal loss, whatsoever. Anyway, in the meantime, I took advantage of this situation and used my time to listen to the white noise on my grandfather’s radio. I’ve meticulously gave ear to the vintage artifact’s static for long hours, and later, I even audited several passages of recorded material. Goldstein didn’t appear, though.
The connection was finally reestablished and, to my surprise, I found tons of emails waiting in my inbox. I decided to answer each and everyone of them before writing this very post. The messages were insightful and sharp, and provided some incredibly brilliant finds that will surely lead me towards the evasive YouTube video I’m looking for. This is a compilation of some wise hints and questions I received:
- Since the file description starts with “Bo” and the last part of the word in the poster hanging in the wall ends with “on”, the name of the place where the video was taken could be a combination of these two word units. Something like “Bon” or “Bo(…)on”.
- If my grandfather was emotionally attached to that place, the first guess should be somewhere in Romania, where he was born, or Argentina, where he lived since he was 13.
- The pictured building reminds a museum or some construction of cultural interest.
- The bald man has his stiff arms leaned forwards so he might be pushing something.
- The video is 36 seconds long, and the snapshot was taken in the 19th second.
- My grandfather wasn’t logged in (as far as I know he didn’t have an account for YouTube).
- The architectural details of the structures are very European or, at least, resemble those of European building design.
Several readers assure that the footage was shoot in the Old Town district of Prague. They recognized some important elements in the picture:
- The Church of Our Lady in front of Týn, you can see its towers in the small thumbnail at the bottom-right corner of the screen, where YouTube offers some videos related to the one you are seeing.
- The streetlights. You can see for yourself its astonishing similarity. Just compare both, the artifacts depicted in this photo with those in the snapshot that I took:
I think that, taking into account these two last evidences we can tell with accuracy that the Old Town square in Prague is indeed the location. I’m arranging a list of possible spots of interest that my grandfather could have had in Prague, which are quite a few.
I appreciate thoroughly all your supportive messages but please do understand that it’s impossible for me to answer them right away. Be patient, I promise I’ll get back to everyone. But keep in mind that I’m doing this in my always diminishing spare time. My full-time job is consuming all my energies.

The white building in the background of the video is church/cathedral of St. Nicholas (http://z.about.com/d/goeasteurope/1/0/w/0/-/-/StNicholasChurch.jpg). The video seems to be filmed at the corner which is most prominent in abovementioned picture.
Someone mentioned that the “on” in the picture says “concert” as is visible on other pictures. So, how sure are you on the whole “bon” thing? Seems an odd assumption to make.
Yes, you are certainly right. This is what hapened with the “Bon” name: I’ve just followed the idea suggested by a reader. I wasn’t sure about that hint (as I’m not sure about any other), so I took it as a possibility, not as a fact. I copied all those suggestions because some of them might be valid. Belive me that I’m clueless as anyone else is.
The “concert” word in the wall is a remarcable find. Can you tell me where can I see those images with the complete poster?
