To E (A: Definitely Dish) - scroll down for pic

My hunch paid off, and the second clue helped a whole, whole lot.

A pass, a dime
round-ball assist (all basketball plays)
plate or bowl
can all be this (dishes)

It's near a square (Overton)
Think opposite of old (Young Avenue)
At a rubber tire company (Cooper Street)
Maybe sterling, maybe gold

I don't get the sterling/gold references. No matter. Objective met.

Oh my gosh! Objective met! This actually does feel a lot like a real-world version of The World Ends With You! :-)

So, as I recall, I get one question -- huzzah! I'm actually going to give you two questions from which to choose. If one of them narrows it way down and effectively brings things to a close, answer the other one. Once I figure this out, I do have a couple of questions and maybe a favor. Make a fake account or something; drop me an e-mail at katesink AT gmail DOT com. Yes, there's a reason. All will become clear shortly.

Question option 1: From where do I know you?
Question option 2: How long have I known you?
