Is it the library?

 

[ProfuselyQuarky]

No . . . it's right next to the Hopkins Station. Literally, I've even been there--less than 3 minute walk

It's HUGE, btw

Monterey aquarium it only shows up if one; hovers; over it

I knew you could do it, wolram! Nice job, too, 1oldman2!

A place to see fish,
A place to see jellies,
A place to see creatures that aren’t ordinary.

Obviously, the place is an aquarium.

Located halfway up California,
It competes with the newbie that’s located in Georgia.

A huge aquarium in Georgia is gaining fame for being the largest aquarium in the world. It's competing with Monterey Bay, which is "legendary".

Its neighbor is a research station,
From a university,
That PQ wants to go to,
Very, very badly!

As you all know, its neighbor is the Hopkins Marine Station from Stanford, and, yes, I want to go to Stanford *badly*

That last clue probably won’t be much help,
But here is the last one: this place loves kelp!

The Monterey Bay aquarium's logo/symbol is a ring of kelp.

So it's your turn, unless you want someone else to go, wolram!

No . . . it

I think i will let some one else in my clues are rubbish.

Here is a quicky:
With vim and vigor these three soldiers flew and defended this land, With anger now this land has peace and an award.
Find the three soldiers.

Ah! just vague enough to be challenging, let me think... A monument maybe?

Not a monument, this puzzle is moor a word substitution game.

moor

Clue or typo ?

Sorry typo.

The Spitfire had 1 these had 2.

Now were going places,Pretty sure were not talking Triumph sports cars and aircraft has been an obsession with me since childhood. Sorry about the delays in responding but we are working around some time zone differences, patience as " I shall return"

 

[ProfuselyQuarky]

Wait, so this is not a "place"?

post #289 is very relevant to figuring this one out.

 

[Jonathan Scott]

This sounds like a specific insect, of which three instances can be found together in only one place.

Hmm . . . perhaps I'm just lost and tired because the idea that we are looking for soldiers reminds me of all the stuff in history class which makes me sleepy (expect WWII, now that's exciting).

How nice! Have you decided to play, too?

 

[1oldman2]

Along my line of thinking, Does the DH mosquito figure into this. Spitfires were a single engine These babies are twins.

you are are on the right line of thinking but these boys had 2 wings

The Mosquito is my favorite air craft

Not an insect but theses thing flew in one location only.

Ah, I was thinking in the same direction, and Mosquito was one of my favourites long ago (saw one in the museum at RAF Cosford last summer). However, I couldn't fit the rest of the clues.

Would I be out of line to assume we aren't speaking of bi vs. mono wing aircraft ?

You be spot on 1oldman2. now think on the last piece of the clue.

 

[wolram]

One more hint: George was happy to give this award.

Now this is a good example of a "search engine resistant" riddle, I'm still chipping away at possible answers but can't seem to tie together certain clues. (great ambiguity, but still solvable) I just need to find the proper format to solve the last part about the "soldiers".

 

[wolram]

I am Glad that you are progressing 1oldman2 but the search engine is of use towards the end

Okay, I'm back to fishing for clues again. I seem to be having trouble thinking outside a certain "box", are we speaking of George as in King George of England?

Yes, we are and if you have king george you are on the way to solving the riddle

OK, I think I have it, involving biplanes and a country, but I think the "three" seems to be part of a myth.

The three are defiantly not a myth they defended a country just of the toe of Italy.

According to a Wikipedia entry (and in contrast with the YouTube video), there were never less than four gladiators involved, and often more, and their names were retrospective too.

 

[wolram]

Okay there may be some controversy here but there were only three named, there was a fourth i stress was

well done Johnathon..

 

[Jonathan Scott]

They were originally C, D, F and H, and as far as I know only F has survived (at least partly). The names later allocated to C, F and H go nicely together, but the name allocated to D wasn't quite so positive!

 

[wolram]

It is your go to baffle US Johnathon.
