About halfway down Main Street, there is a corner building bearing Frank Well's name on the top window. This is the highest point of any name within the Magic Kingdom. Why is it the highest positioned name on a building on Main Street?
As I am going to be away for a few days the Answer I had was Dumbo. So does someone else want to take over.

I can only assume that his is the highest, as he was Co. Pres. & C.O.O., as well as his "Seven Summits" expeditions (all except Everest, of course).
If alive today, he could simply hike down the road and ride to the top of Everest. Hmm... wonder if his experience/quest for Everest had anything to do with planting the seed of thought for Expedition Everest development...
You are correct on the account of his mountain climbing. Eisner did it as a tribute to his wanting to climb the "highest" mountain. And, I thought that one would be tough.

Headed to work... I'll try and come up with a new one for tonight, or if anyone else has an Extremely Tough question, by all means, spring it on us!
Currently my goal in life is to stump JamesD at least once (and anyone else for that matter)...
What do the Hall of Presidents, Mickey's Star Traders, and Crystal Palace have in common???

Are all of these closed during Mickey's Not So Scary Halloween Party? (and MVMCP for that matter?)

Sorry... I just couldn't resist. I'm going to get more coffee now.
This is probably not what you are looking for but a similarity nonetheless, all four of these locations were things that were more or less unchanged for the first 20 years of the parks operating, but all saw changes in the 90's when Mickey's Mart became Mickey's Star Traders, Tinker Bells Toy shop became Tinkerbell's Treasures, The Hall of Presidents had the major changes to the show, and the Crystal Palace became a character buffet.
You are correct in that it was NOT what I was looking for () - You can probably create numerous associations especially if you take a temporal approach.
Keep thinking - More clues if needed...
One more clue, one more locale:
What do the
Hall of Presidents,
Mickey's Star Traders,
Crystal Palace,
Tinkerbell's Treasures, and
Tony's Town Square Restaurant have in common???
