Guess the City

I'll add a third picture when I get home this evening

The van is about to turn into the warehouse place - same logo on both: LA??.

"LEAMINGTON ASS"

bournemouth

we're going to have to see the wall bruv

(there's a yellow bus in the background of second pic and googling yellow buses had bournemouth as the first hit. BRO = bournemouth?)

I was wondering about the bus and Christchurch but I guess they probably share

apparently BRO = Bridge Of Orchy station (in Argyll, SCO) & doesn't look like it's it

As promised, view #3

that building on the left is probably the big clue here, is that W a well-known logo in Britland?

That's an IMO car wash. There are 269 of them in the UK apparently.

i don't know if that was deliberate but making me click through ALL the storageking locations and have it be the very last one was mean.

wow!

Well done Koogs, no of course that was not deliberate!

This was to be the fourth post

storageking helpfully had images of the stores right there on the individual pages and a 'view on map' link. and most of them were just giant sheds on industrial estates.

now to find the railway bridge...

I mean it won't take you very long

was more about confirming my theory about the sign

BRB

12047

and ofc, the second line was the important one. (BRB = British Railways Board)

120.47 Shrub Hill Junction with WAH

be right back
off with wife

Haha I just lurk on this thread bit when I saw photo #3 I was going to drop in "that weirdly reminds me of Worcester but you all think it's in other parts of the country so I trust you".

it's the street I grew up on. Nobody thinks Worcester looks like this, people just know the nice bits.

my bit of tolly is much nicer, but it's still tolly

I was looking at a lot of brick walls in Birmingham, so at least I wasn't too far away.

Nobody really seemed to have any real idea which part of the country it was in though, "Close to a station" was the only real consensus!

Big collective failure over not looking for the second row of three letters

I couldn't make them out - I somehow thought it was ENG OVV where it's actually BRB OWW :(

back to work

I see what looks like a US flag. Perhaps we are in Florida.

only one flag though

couldn't work out what the big pink penis was there for a moment

oh, two flags - anyway, yeah, Florida doesn't sound wrong - palm trees, pastel colors, holiday home type buildings - what does that concrete block say? K STREET ?

It’s going to turn out to be somewhere like Okinawa.

all the plants are green and there's a Christmas tree in the yellow house - Southern hemisphere? (or is it that hot in Floriday at Christmas time?)

xpost yes! it also feels Japanese - no overhead power cables though

I didn't actually notice the flag outside the yellow house but taking the two together that's surely a US flag. Both Miami and Tampa seem to use blue recycle bins.

looks dry for Florida imo, I'd guess California or even Arizona

the presence of multiple pedestrians might rule out AZ though

it looks like a desert climate and fairly densely populated. somewhere in LA?

Id guess Cali, too. Too many aquaphobic plants and xeroscaping to be Florida.

looks like it could be tucson or san diego but the lack of sidewalks is kind of weird for most u.s. cities so idk, the us flag might be a red herring lol.

i think it's too dry to be coastal cali though

It's not San Bernardino or Merced, from my initial searching.

The small lots and apartment building density suggests beach town to me. Beach towns can be dry.

Yeah, tbh it feels kind of like San Diego.

yeah totally looks like The Strandway except without the red curbs

agreed this feels like coastal socal. probably very coastal (like within quarter of a mile of the ocean) given the density and pedestrian infrastructure and general beach vibe.

the low rise relatively dense vibe feels like hermosa or manhattan beach to me, but they have no k street.

the only coastal k street i can find in CA is in san diego, but it's way bigger than this one, unless this is an alley behind k street.

although there's something not quite right about those two vans in the distance that makes me think okinawa might be thinking more along the right lines.

also the absense of overhead cables + US flags makes no sense to me.

fwiw I thought that said "4th" street not K
