ah I'd picked cairo because I thought it was kind of an extreme example and might be got fairly easily (which it was, i didnt know you could cheat tho - i will be better prepared next time)

yeah, it was mostly that and the mix of mountains and fields, but WV looks more forested in my experience driving through
― harbl, Wednesday, 9 June 2010 21:09 (sixteen years ago)
is cairo known for something then?
I'd thought it was sorta well known just for being a complete wreck (80% depopulation according to wikipedia)
― cherry blossom, Wednesday, 9 June 2010 21:14 (sixteen years ago)
yeah i'm reading the wikipedia now, i didn't know about it! very interesting.
― harbl, Wednesday, 9 June 2010 21:15 (sixteen years ago)
there's a couple youtube videos which are pretty good, driving round it. one with an old woman talking about how it used to be before the war, which is great, and one with corny ambient music but does show the almost completely abandoned downtown

nope. think of a region that is heavy on christianity.

charleston, wv?
― del griffith, Tuesday, 29 June 2010 14:07 (sixteen years ago)
I agree it looks Appalachian -- Scranton, PA?
― Guayaquil (eephus!), Tuesday, 29 June 2010 14:45 (sixteen years ago)
both kinda good guesses but at same time not all that close either
― cherry blossom, Wednesday, 30 June 2010 11:30 (sixteen years ago)
Spokane?
― kate78, Wednesday, 30 June 2010 12:15 (sixteen years ago)
now thats a lot further away!
― cherry blossom, Wednesday, 30 June 2010 13:10 (sixteen years ago)
montpelier, vt?
― caek, Thursday, 8 July 2010 11:33 (fifteen years ago)
nope - the first two guesses charleston and scranton were good in general terms - its sorta between the two. Thought someone would have got closer though
― cherry blossom, Thursday, 8 July 2010 11:50 (fifteen years ago)
there is nothing there to tell me it is american, except (possibly) for the width of the road. the hills in the background look like foothills, old and hunkered down. probably north-eastern, with a river (crossed by a bridge in the background)... could be springfield, ma? a piece of albany, ny?

God you have a lot of cities I've never heard of in the States.
― rhythm fixated member (chap), Thursday, 8 July 2010 11:58 (fifteen years ago)
being from upstate ny i feel like that is a good guess but i don't know which city. what about utica?
― the girl with the butt tattoo (harbl), Thursday, 8 July 2010 12:00 (fifteen years ago)
118 is kind of a hard one (though people have got harder ones!) - I'll reveal at the end of the day if no one has it (charleston is nearest guess so far)
this should be achievable though

utica, ny: the only place i have ever seen kids playing in the street next to a car on fire. it was like sarajevo, or one of those movies from the '80s about white teachers who go to bad neighborhoods to condescend to black people.

That white rounded conical object in the middle foreground of 118 might be a road salt depository, in which case someplace far north enough to get serious snow.
― Guayaquil (eephus!), Thursday, 8 July 2010 12:09 (fifteen years ago)
what about altoona
― the girl with the butt tattoo (harbl), Thursday, 8 July 2010 12:14 (fifteen years ago)
getting called a "city" is a pretty easy lay in the u.s., chap.

118 was Pittsburgh (welll... Mckeesport specifically but would have accepted pittsburgh as an answer)
