K, 4th, or 7th have all seemed possible to me

Still looks like California beach town that time forgot, but I didn't think there were any of those any more.

Does Mexico have stop signs that say stop? Not according to Wikipedia

alright well I will formally guess San Juan, Puerto Rico

Definitely looks like American Southwest, but starting to wonder if maybe it's not actually that near the beach.

Eh I donβt think itβs the continental US
― π ππ’π¨ (caek), Thursday, 17 June 2021 15:53 (three years ago) link
if that red sign with yellow letters just above the STOP sign on the right is a street name sign, then it's probably not in the USA?
"As of 2009, the Manual on Uniform Traffic Control Devices (MUTCD) approved color schemes for street name signs including a green, blue, or brown background with white text, or a white background with black text"
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Street_name_sign#Color_coding_and_typography - which also mentions there are exceptions though (burgundy in the Fiesta part of Mesa, AZ? Haven't found an example yet)
― StanM, Thursday, 17 June 2021 17:51 (three years ago) link
The street sign background looks more brown than red.
― nickn, Thursday, 17 June 2021 18:18 (three years ago) link
i assume a stop sign in puerto rico would say "pare"

StanM already said Hawaii and that has blue bins, similar road markings, red octagonal stop signs, bungaloids as far as the eye can see. Damned if I can narrow it down though.

Pretty sure that's a red golf buggy. Maybe it's near a golf course (at least a dozen in honolulu alone) or maybe someone just likes to tool around in a golf buggy.
― In the wastelands of Birmingham and Manchester, massages are back (ledge), Friday, 18 June 2021 15:57 (three years ago) link
but how are these three pictures so... horizontal? Anywere I click on Hawaii has mountains in the background (or I'm doing it wrong)

Hermosa Beach!

I thought someone already kind of guessed it, but I guess not formally.
― o. nate, Friday, 18 June 2021 16:22 (three years ago) link
Still curious exactly where that first shot was taken though. Such a weird vibe in that photo.
― o. nate, Friday, 18 June 2021 16:25 (three years ago) link
Wow! nice one!
― StanM, Friday, 18 June 2021 16:28 (three years ago) link
well done to cherry blossom too, you had us following all kinds of wild red goose herrings.
― StanM, Friday, 18 June 2021 16:30 (three years ago) link
Yes, I was looking all over the place, but I kept coming back to Hermosa Beach, since the street signs were the right shape and color.
― o. nate, Friday, 18 June 2021 16:32 (three years ago) link
lol I was just coming back here to suggest Hermosa having finally found examples of burnt orange streetname signs above the stop signs there.
― nashwan, Friday, 18 June 2021 16:35 (three years ago) link
caek mentioned Hermosa! Why didn't we listen? :-)
― StanM, Friday, 18 June 2021 16:44 (three years ago) link
possibly because i repeatedly said i don't think this is southern california! haha sorry. and good catch!
― π ππ’π¨ (caek), Friday, 18 June 2021 16:57 (three years ago) link
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.

Picking additional shots when the answer was sitting there already 99% of the way there was tricky!

I looked on zillow for price estimates and in the original picture, the house on the left (xmas tree) is estimated at $2.3M and the one next door (behind penis umbrella) is $2.6M.

i was thrown by, among other things, lack of green bins. apparently hermosa is still rolling out green bins which i guess makes sense when a lot of them don't have gardens and many of them are neo-nazis https://www.hermosabeach.gov/our-government/city-manager/environmental-programs/solid-waste.

first guess: maybe this is germany. but no obvious major port so not hamburg or bremen. maybe that's a lake then. but this is too nice for berlin (where the lakes are) so my guess is ... potsdam (on the basis that it's next to berlin but nicer and more verdant). general vibe is quite like this but this view has too many churches/towerblocks https://www.360cities.net/image/nikolaikirche-potsdam-skyline and if i'm right i certainly can't find the spot.

there's also a distinct lack of churches which east germany or even further east, although there are some pretty ritzy chateaux type buildings

I don't know, at first I thought it was something industrial, now I'm not so sure.
Blowing the photo up, it seems to be the sea on the horizon, then a narrow isthmus of land, then a narrow body of water - lake or head of a river - then the city. I think.

― π ππ’π¨ (caek), Wednesday, 23 June 2021 05:18 (three years ago) link
Assume so too, but funny place to have one, in a built up area. Which again makes me think somewhere east of the iron curtain.
