Web Riddle: Alphabet

[VolkOr]

I'm back... and yes ladies and gentlemen I'm STILL STUCK ON N!
EDIT: In my despair I tried playing around with the picture on PICASA and found nothing :/
EDIT #2: Ok so the guy who did dis was:

George Segal

and the name of the first guy in line is:

Leon Bibel

and that's as far as I reckon would be useful information.

How did you even find the name of the first guy in line? I've found nothing that detailed!

[utkbrent]

Im on N now.....so whats up.......tried checking out the passage which comes up with nothing so there goes my book idea.....seen this sculpture doohickey thing before and now whats up... just happy to be here

[divinyl]

I'm gonna have to give up with this soon...and then away for a week! Gah! Have stuff I need to be doing, and am not getting anywhere!

[VolkOr]

The sculpture is part of FDR's memorial as by now you should all know. It is called "Depression Bread Line" by George Segal. The first man in line is Mr. Leon Bibel a Polish-american painter. Does this mean they're all artists from the Great Depression times? This would be a good guess, and should help us make out the names of the rest.

However let's not forget the title, which implies a reference to some place

New Jersey
New York
National Mall

But anyway it is, it is openly related to the Great Depression.

Hei, I'm back!
Seems like there was an error on H, after all...

Well... I still can't get it!
Could someone PM me on H? I know what the hieroglyphs say...

[utkbrent]

Do what the hieroglyphs tell you on exactly what it tells you, but bear in mind different orientations of ascii come up with different codes

Sorry guys, I have to get some sleep... Hope someone will pass this level and leave some good hints! Nightynight all!!

[VolkOr]

Good night Iva, hopefully you'll get some ideas while you sleep =)

[aTomicD]

OK! Thanks to the mighty volkOr, back in the game!
Passed I.
Trying to figure out J...

[utkbrent]

Man, Ive been searching for so many different possibilites on N its ridiculous. The problem is that there are too many directions to take it in. Do we go the depression route, FDR, George Segal, breadline, january 1930..........thought i might have hit it with newdeal, but thats not even it........crazy!

[rozee]

Yep. I'm stuck on N with everyone else. I've tried everything I could think of but I'm getting nowhere. Luckily we have a lot of minds working on this level. We'll find it soon enough.

[VolkOr]

Anyone got any thoughts on the level's title?
"Oh what a small world it is"... I wonder what that could mean... makes me think we're looking for a place rather than a name.

[vlc5863]

i hope your right rozee and its not a mistake. lol this reminds me of a game Scattegories i played with my mom where we had to write words that begin with an N. One of her answers was Knife.

[rozee]

The title made me think of the message below the picture. It was talking about meeting someone. Maybe we're looking for the person who met "Jane." I Googled a bit but haven't found anything on this yet.
