Question - 240

The person shown in the first visual left the things shown in the second visual. Identify him and the place. The logo in the third visual can be taken as a clue to the identity of the man/location.

Answer: The first visual shows the mysterious "Poe toaster", an unidentified man who has been visiting Edgar Allan Poe's grave every year on his birthday since 1949. The visitor drinks a toast in Poe's honour and leaves a cognac bottle and some roses at his grave. The logo is that of the Baltimore Ravens, a NFL team located in Poe's home town and which takes its name from his most famous poem. Hari, Srivats, Raghu and Manix got it. Well done.

Poe Toaster, Grave of Edgar Allan Poe

Didn't quite get the third visual though

The Poe toaster

the last pic is the Baltimore Ravens, a reference to a controversy over some statements by the new toaster, when he blasted the Ravens prior to a Superbowl. Didnt make sense, as the Ravens derived their name from the Poe classic, the Raven
