I'm thinking of a tunnel.
Rules:
You have 11 questions (in total, not each).
They must all be yes/no questions.
First correct answer closes the game.
If the game hits 11 questions with no correct answer, the game also closes.
This was a collaboration with @[21:@Neb] a while back, on a story that has now been scrapped. It was great while it lasted.

I'm thinking of a skyscraper.
Remember you're no longer asking questions, you're directly guessing which skyscraper I'm thinking about.
(The Emporis Standards Committee defines Skyscrapers as 100m (330 ft) or higher, so we're clear.)

As some of you know, we're merging the VILE-Only thread (VILE - Eudaimonia) with a more open site-wide RP.
Premise: Contessa is heading to a party [on an unnamed island]. ACME has infiltrated said location as staff on an information-gathering mission.
So far, the cast includes:

Starting with a random idea in site chat, this is a character-based Ask Me Anything.
Anyone, any character, can start one.
I'm posting the background from Chase's profile. I've built this character for the past decade, about time to test if the info makes sense.

BACKGROUND (Currently...
ACME HQ, San Francisco, CA
The second floor of Accolade consisted almost entirely of multi-purposed function rooms; each room was segregated by soundproof partitions which could be removed to create a huge, exhibition hall-sized venue for larger events.
A pair of black pumps graced the rich...

9:08 AM Somewhere between San Francisco and Los Angeles.
Chase woke at 6:00 AM and immediately read the previous day’s reports. He reviewed the news, checked messages from international contacts, and completed a 2-hour morning routine.
A double shot of espresso later, he...

Buenos Aires, Argentina
Slums littered this city, but most of Argentina’s wealthy lived like kings. The hacienda sprawled along a cliff-side beach complete with a Venetian glass mosaic pool, a hedge maze, statue-lined fountains and other such...

[Still at] Tarragon, St. Paul’s Bay, Malta
For the rest of the meal, she was quiet. The food came and went, and both of them declined dessert. Chase because he didn’t like them and his guest, well, because she wasn’t feeling it.
He was terrible with smalltalk, so he...

Tarragon, St. Paul’s Bay, Malta
Chase Devineaux took a flight from San Francisco to Milan, a train to Naples, a car to Salerno and then boarded a boat to St. Paul’s Bay in Malta. Granted, he took the long route, but he...
It’s funny how things work out
thought Chase Devineaux to himself with a wry smile.
When he retired from ACME 15 years ago he certainly did not foresee himself as a wold class winemaker, cruising down the A84 in a custom built Black Porsche Cayman.
A brief twinge of melancholy hit home as he...

Edited because the answer was wrong and needs rewording: I am one of the great world cities that sits near major fault lines. Cats roam my ancient ruins. Empires fought endlessly over me because I connected continents. Where am I?”

Why do we say "Excuse my French" when about to swear. When something crappy happens why do we ask "If we're having fun yet." and "Why do we say "For pete's sake" are these all just American phrases?
This is becoming a fun rabbit hole....the alphabet has been rearranged a few times. "A" came from a Phoenician symbol that originally represented an ox's head. "B" came from a symbol meaning "house." The names Alpha and Beta evolved from Aleph and Beth. ...
I was out today minding my own business at a restaurant when I over heard someone at a table near me say this "The United States is the oldest country in the world." I was thinking...It can't be. At least the "United Kingdom" was around before we came to the new world.
Yeah, I remember the Acquaintances episode and Yakko ask 'Where in the World is Carmen Sandiego staying?' There was Carmen alright passing by but her face well...look at Animaniacs Wiki Fandom and see for yourself, Lucy.
