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

iiiijjjj, Wednesday, 2 December 2009 17:24 (sixteen years ago)

harbl, Wednesday, 2 December 2009 17:59 (sixteen years ago)

It is Casablanca

Ismael Klata, Wednesday, 2 December 2009 17:59 (sixteen years ago)

harbl, Wednesday, 2 December 2009 18:00 (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.

iiiijjjj, Wednesday, 2 December 2009 18:07 (sixteen years ago)

113.

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:

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

cherry blossom, Wednesday, 9 June 2010 16:56 (sixteen years ago)

huh.

156, Wednesday, 9 June 2010 17:06 (sixteen years ago)

is it boise from a weird angle where you can't see the capital building or something?

156, Wednesday, 9 June 2010 17:20 (sixteen years ago)

not boise!

cherry blossom, Wednesday, 9 June 2010 17:23 (sixteen years ago)

is it in west virginia?

harbl, Wednesday, 9 June 2010 17:24 (sixteen years ago)

my guesses are generally horrible though

harbl, Wednesday, 9 June 2010 17:24 (sixteen years ago)

harbl or cherry blossom, did you go take the mine tour or go to knobels grove when you went to centralia? cuz that's what I did.

GENE PITNEY'S SWEATER BY KANDAHAR (los blue jeans), Wednesday, 9 June 2010 17:29 (sixteen years ago)

nah i was just passing through. we got out of the car and walked around but it started pouring. i would love to go back and do a tour!

harbl, Wednesday, 9 June 2010 17:30 (sixteen years ago)

I didn't even pass through!

I made a mistake with 114 I put the wrong picture up, its kind of hard (but then so was ashland!). I'm going to leave it up there and put the one i meant to put up as 115

I want to say Glasgow because there are a pair of high-rises behind Celtic Park, but I don't recognise the streets.

ailsa, Wednesday, 9 June 2010 17:42 (sixteen years ago)

oh, and also it doesn't really look that much like Celtic Park

ailsa, Wednesday, 9 June 2010 17:43 (sixteen years ago)

I reckon somewhere midlands-y or northern england anyway. Oldham?

ailsa, Wednesday, 9 June 2010 17:45 (sixteen years ago)

Think the first one might be Glasgow though?

ailsa, Wednesday, 9 June 2010 17:56 (sixteen years ago)

Stadium in 115 is Elland Road... Leeds.

tomofthenest, Wednesday, 9 June 2010 18:46 (sixteen years ago)

115 is indeed Leeds tom! a pretty easy one

wrong on (the much harder) 114 though

cherry blossom, Wednesday, 9 June 2010 19:17 (sixteen years ago)

That is a good shot of Leeds, love those back to backs. Have you got a link to a bigger version? (yes, I want to steal it).

i'm gonna go and talk to some food about this (Ned Trifle II), Wednesday, 9 June 2010 19:29 (sixteen years ago)

I am going to kick myself when 114 is identified because it looks very familiar.

The full Leeds pic...so weirdly carless!

cherry blossom, Wednesday, 9 June 2010 19:34 (sixteen years ago)

there's mills in 114. Burnley?

Don't look at the finger (Ste), Wednesday, 9 June 2010 19:35 (sixteen years ago)

Thanks! xp

i'm gonna go and talk to some food about this (Ned Trifle II), Wednesday, 9 June 2010 19:39 (sixteen years ago)

v close on 114 there ste, but not quite!

cherry blossom, Wednesday, 9 June 2010 19:42 (sixteen years ago)

Huddersfield?

i'm gonna go and talk to some food about this (Ned Trifle II), Wednesday, 9 June 2010 20:19 (sixteen years ago)

Blackburn?

i'm gonna go and talk to some food about this (Ned Trifle II), Wednesday, 9 June 2010 20:26 (sixteen years ago)

neither - I made that pic too hard I think, could have been easier from a different angle maybe

cherry blossom, Wednesday, 9 June 2010 20:32 (sixteen years ago)

Rochdale?

Don't look at the finger (Ste), Wednesday, 9 June 2010 20:33 (sixteen years ago)

It's really really familiar, but can't place it... yet!
