I guess all guesses for the Americana puzzle have been aired. All we do now is wait... for deepslikes to come and decide if we need a detour since we were leading ourselves up the garden path. I swear a puzzle can get addictive.. I was sitting in a theater and pondering about it.. while Rudolf Abel ever so often interrupted the ponder with a "Will it (worrying) help?"
I connected Will Rogers Turnpike (Route 66) with Glass House McDonald's or McDonald's Glass House Restaurant. This highway is mentioned in John Steinbeck's novel "The Grapes of Wrath" as well. Cars movie is dedicated to route 66. I hope this answer is right. @deepslikes, you have made my neurons work too hard. Thanks to all the clues especially from @jskls and @Rihana, I could crack this puzzle. I need some rest now. My 61 year old neurons can't work anymore for the day. Viswa
The images point to certain well known personalities. Name them. Theme: India Difficulty: This is a trivial puzzle to get us started with our theme, think Bournvita quiz contest level!
General note to all: If you figure out the clues or the answer, please leave tangential, cryptic hints to help out the others. Please try not to mention the answer or even the clues directly. Stick to oblique references. It might spoil the fun for some slow-poke lurker toiling away on the puzzle. We know you're out there! Puzzle makers please wait for everyone to attempt the puzzle once before giving out the answer. As a rule of thumb, we try to wait for at least 24 hours. If no responses are forthcoming, a 'should I post the answer' might help assess the status of the puzzle. Thanks!

When we have an active puzzle, it's best to wait until it is solved before posting a new one. This will help the discussion stay focused on one puzzle at a time. Sorry for all these rules folks. We have many new participants who are still learning the ropes. Hopefully everyone will be on the same page after one or two puzzles. Thank you!
