Good one. Bujumbura, Burundi?

Nope. I'm looking for a longer, more euphonious city name.
Euphonics is in the ear of the listener.
Lubumbashi, Congo?

Not there yet. Think national capitals.

Nairobi, Kenya?
Blackshear
TNPer
Nope and nope. I'm looking for a longer, harder to spell, but fun to say, African national capital.

TNPer
No guesses or did this just get buried under the spam? Feel free to Google a map of Africa to find the answer.
Ah-Hah! It's Ouagadougou, Burkina Faso, a city and country I have never heard of! Fun to say, you say? How the heck do you say it???

You pronounce it Oo-gah-doo-goo. Say it out loud. Fun, wasn't it?
(You're right by the way, GBM. I've got my bags packed. Let's go somewhere new.)

Jack Sparrow is from Portugal, port city of Setubal, 40 km from the Capital Lisbon.. Would you imagine that 20 secs ago?
I thought I'd do something a little different. I'm looking for a very specific place to spend a perfect afternoon.

The Louvre? (first art museum to come to mind)
No, but that's a great guess!
Blackshear
TNPer
Ok, how about the second most famous art museum, The Hermitage in St. Petersburg, Russia?

Tate Modern - London?
Maybe an exterior shot will help:
Of course, the interior is remarkable as well:

Today's incorrect guess: Carnegie Museum of Art, Pittsburgh 
Good one! Oh, I wish my local museum boasted such a collection of French Impressionists. Although Pittsburgh's Carnegie is a remarkable building as well, as part of the facility includes Andrew Carnegie's mansion. I've been lucky enough to visit the basement, where all sorts of treasures are kept, which are not on exhibit.The closest guess so far was the Louvre. Really close.
Blackshear
TNPer
OK, real guess: Musee d'Orsay in Paris, France (not to be confused with Paris, Ontario).
Oui! After a stroll along the Seine, you can take us to our next locale.

Our next destination is somewhat less attractive than the previous one:
The Southern Acre
TNPer
Germany maybe? Frankfurt?
It looks really cold. Murmansk, Russia?
Blackshear
TNPer
Nope and nope. The place is cold but you're both pretty far off with your initial guesses.
Southwest Asia
TNPer
Poland?
Blackshear
TNPer
Sorry, no. Everyone's in the wrong part of the world, so far. I'm looking for a specific city as well.
The Southern Acre
TNPer
Somewhere in the southern hemisphere?
Blackshear
TNPer
Not really getting the concept, are we?
That said, you can eliminate any place in the southern hemisphere.

Nam is in the right country. Too far north though. This place is actually south of Canada. Who knew it actually got cold outside of here?
St. Paul, Minnesota?
Blackshear
TNPer
You're still one state over, GBM.
The Southern Acre
TNPer
Hm so somewhere in Mischigan?
Blackshear
TNPer
Nope, that's two states over. Did I mention the correct answer will be a specific city and not a general state, province, country or hemisphere?
Bismarck, North Dakota?
