Boston?

That’s what I said!

Canon in Deez (silby), Monday, 22 March 2021 22:40 (five years ago)

Going a very different direction here but...

Taipei City?

Leeds

that's a us no parking sign. looks like forsythia about to bloom - google says it's in growing zones 5-9, doesn't narrow it down too much except it's not the far north. something about the size and spacing of the buildings suggests not-the-east-coast to me. brown leaves in the gutters. could be anywhere. columbus? indianapolis? omaha?

There is something odd about the bike lane stencil, notably the wheels.

Alaska?

My only clue was that the silver car’s license plate could be New York

rob, Monday, 22 March 2021 23:16 (five years ago)

so little to go on here, but the sign in front of the blue pole looks pretty distinctive

Bastard Lakes (Camaraderie at Arms Length), Monday, 22 March 2021 23:27 (five years ago)

I don't think I'm right, but this reminds me of when I was in Baltimore.

hourspass, Monday, 22 March 2021 23:29 (five years ago)

There's a blue A on those doors. Those bike stencils are definitely in use in California, probably elsewhere too though.

Buffalo

hole in one

cherry blossom, Tuesday, 23 March 2021 20:55 (five years ago)

Yes!

treeship., Tuesday, 23 March 2021 20:56 (five years ago)

Finally. I just visited for the first time in February.

treeship., Tuesday, 23 March 2021 20:57 (five years ago)

you aren't allowed to start swaggering till you nail an obscure one that isn't in your own country 😉

calzino, Tuesday, 23 March 2021 21:07 (five years ago)

This is my proudest day on ilx

treeship., Tuesday, 23 March 2021 21:11 (five years ago)

Lol

treeship., Tuesday, 23 March 2021 21:11 (five years ago)

i don't actually understand how you guys do this.

cherry blossom, Tuesday, 23 March 2021 21:15 (five years ago)

In this case, I recently saw that building in person and remembered it. Sometimes it seems people use different techniques than this.

treeship., Tuesday, 23 March 2021 21:17 (five years ago)

that's not forsythia, it's a tree :|

John Cooper of Christian rock band Skillet (map), Tuesday, 23 March 2021 21:21 (five years ago)

did you have any good buffalo wings there treeship?

John Cooper of Christian rock band Skillet (map), Tuesday, 23 March 2021 21:22 (five years ago)

In this case, I recently saw that building in person and remembered it.

I misread this as you recognized a person outside the building

cherry blossom, Tuesday, 23 March 2021 21:25 (five years ago)

I had good buffalo wings, thanks map. There are great breweries in buffalo too—my favorite was called the big ditch brewing company.

treeship., Tuesday, 23 March 2021 21:30 (five years ago)

I wanted to go to the albright knox museum but alas covid

treeship., Tuesday, 23 March 2021 21:31 (five years ago)

Buffalo is one of those cities where many people I know have spent a significant amount of time because of the Poetics program at the SUNY campus there, but I have never been. All I know about it is snow, snow, and more snow.

Hah yeah my memory of Buffalo was 25+ feet of snow, it amazes me there is any bicycle infrastructure at all.

Jersey Al (Albert R. Broccoli), Tuesday, 23 March 2021 21:41 (five years ago)

Apparently it is absolutely perfect in the summer, which I don't doubt.

I’ve never been but Buffalo to me means Julius Eastman and Morton Feldman...

Weymouth

That Buffalo pic might be the first photo itt of a street I've walked down (not that I would've ever recognised it).

nashwan, Wednesday, 24 March 2021 17:38 (five years ago)

Here is the view in Weymouth - https://goo.gl/maps/CUUwKy49WxS3uHoE7

Bastard Lakes (Camaraderie at Arms Length), Wednesday, 24 March 2021 17:45 (five years ago)

I was going to guess Swanage, heh.

Tim, Wednesday, 24 March 2021 17:47 (five years ago)

Weymouth isn't a city?

Duncan Disorderly (Tom D.), Wednesday, 24 March 2021 17:50 (five years ago)

four minutes, is that a record?

joni mitchell jarre (anagram), Wednesday, 24 March 2021 17:51 (five years ago)

I think this game is allowed to play a little fast & loose with the definition of a city

xp

joni mitchell jarre (anagram), Wednesday, 24 March 2021 17:52 (five years ago)

It's difficult enough!

Duncan Disorderly (Tom D.), Wednesday, 24 March 2021 17:54 (five years ago)

Oof that was quick, just recognize it out the box?

cherry blossom, Wednesday, 24 March 2021 18:50 (five years ago)

1. saw the sign with an ice cream and '99' so had to be UK seaside
2. google image search for: uk seaside blue yellow hut "hot food"
3. second result was Aunty Vi's Tea & Cakes in Weymouth

Bastard Lakes (Camaraderie at Arms Length), Wednesday, 24 March 2021 19:05 (five years ago)

Ok, new one.

ha was juat about to post one, will hold off till next week

cherry blossom, Friday, 26 March 2021 10:50 (five years ago)

Getting a Black Sea vibe but nothing more than that yet

cherry blossom, Friday, 26 March 2021 10:59 (five years ago)

Yes, southern Europe, former Eastern bloc, now in the EU, makes sense to me.

Sofia?

Scampo di tutti i Scampi (ShariVari), Friday, 26 March 2021 11:06 (five years ago)

Not Sofia

Bastard Lakes (Camaraderie at Arms Length), Friday, 26 March 2021 11:14 (five years ago)

Looks LHD tho, despite the cars pointing in both directions either side. Rules out most of Europe

or something, Friday, 26 March 2021 11:44 (five years ago)

LHD and EU plates would leave Cyprus, Malta and Ireland, i think. idk, maybe Valetta at a push but i'm not sure it looks like Cyprus to me.
