caek, Wednesday, 2 December 2009 15:28 (sixteen years ago)

caek, Wednesday, 2 December 2009 18:01 (sixteen years ago)

haha, i love this game. my tendency to latch on to an arbitrary detail like street median foliage or misidentified architectural style and be convinced it's representative of one part of the world when it's another altogether, not so much.

Odessa

Nathan, Wednesday, 2 December 2009 18:22 (sixteen years ago)

It is Odessa. How did you home in so quickly?

Ismael Klata, Wednesday, 2 December 2009 18:25 (sixteen years ago)

I was going to give it some of this next:

And then finish up with these chaps:

Ismael Klata, Wednesday, 2 December 2009 18:28 (sixteen years ago)

Thought Odessa before Kiev was posted, thinking Chisinau (slavic/latinate hybrid, light and plants say lowish latitude), then thought too wealthy, mercantile past = Odessa

Nathan, Wednesday, 2 December 2009 18:34 (sixteen years ago)

That's some good work. I didn't think there was too much of a slavic giveaway, other than that little dome and those beautiful, beautiful cars. I'm just noticing that fantastic fire escape up the right-hand side too.

Ismael Klata, Wednesday, 2 December 2009 18:39 (sixteen years ago)

Slavic as Andrei Arshavin on a pogrom tbh

Nathan, Wednesday, 2 December 2009 18:43 (sixteen years ago)

That's not a photoshop I want to be seeing.

Ismael Klata, Wednesday, 2 December 2009 18:45 (sixteen years ago)

six months pass...

sorry i was a bit late but I can confirm that #99 was indeed Ashland, PA

that was really very good, how did you know?

cherry blossom, Tuesday, 8 June 2010 22:25 (sixteen years ago)

because i've been there! i was amazed that i was right though. i thought it looked like that place i had been through when i visited centralia, pa, but i didn't remember what it was called. i did remember that some of the houses for sale had signs from anthracite realty, so i googled that and narrowed down the possibilities from there. i didn't really think it would be the same place, i thought it would be a place that looked like it.

harbl, Tuesday, 8 June 2010 22:32 (sixteen years ago)

Well it was v good!

I enjoyed this thread very much
