This week’s handmade co-op puzzle won’t defox itself. If you’re a whizz at quizzes, lateral thinking, and search engine sleuthing, why not lend a hand.
To fully defox the following geofoxer, identify all twelve locations plus the theme that links them.

I. The Victoria Theater in San Francisco’s Mission District.

Could H. be HMS Victory? It would broaden things to a Victor/Victoria/Victory theme.
c. VICTORIA and Albert Museum (and paddling pool)
