Guess the City

Wow! Been there?

holy hell!

can't find the exact Google Maps shot, but this is from the same session:

amazing, I did think it looked a bit like another in a park in South America we had a while back.

Wow that was quick and impressive

(the exact street view - about two clicks away)

Back indoors

- Dubl Handi washboard = from Columbus, Ohio
- Arts In ... folder?
- what's that wavy thing outsice (behind pink jacket lady's head) ? Are they standing next to a shuffleboard?

north america because the portable AC is set to farenheit and there's a diner-style coffee mug. that's all i got.

They don’t have diner mugs abroad? Sucks for them.

the very thick ceramic and concave outer surface is uniquely north american in my experience.

spent ages trying to read that Pure Hanoi sign before I read the next post!

the big black spotlight is pointing at something across from here but the roof on that main attraction doesn't look that old-fashioned

taos?

O I can see it much better on a PC. Something about trolley rides?

lots of tourist/cabin type stuff everywhere in NorthEastern USA and I have no idea if that's even the right region (just because they have that washboard?)

That woman is behind a rope, which means she's an exhibit, right? "Come see the old frontier town grandma with her multiple aircon units and coffee machine!" (or whatever it is)

is this how people filled in their crossword puzzles in the olden days?

The white hat hanging on the door definitely looks like something worn for an olden-days experience.

By the door, I mean.

The headless man outside the cabin is taking a photo of something that looks like it could be used for gold panning. I'd say in general there's more of a "pioneer"/western frontier feel to the place (i.e., not the northeast where the emphasis would be more on colonial-era history, I think). Possibly Alaska, Colorado, Wyoming, North Dakota, etc. This is more of a stretch, but the way the people outside are dressed also looks ~western US~ to me

Given it's set to 64 and what everyone is wearing, that machine is probably functioning as a heater. I don't think the ropes are there to put her on display, she just works there and you're not supposed to touch anything behind the ropes

Stack of maps looks like a mountain range or river valley

six minutes later and I'm rethinking all that lol

the Amish wear straw hats with black ribbons, though they may not be the only people in history to do that

on further inspection, I'm not sure what the hell that guy is taking a picture of

The headless man

ha i actually saw it that his head was that wooden column (tree trunk?)

and back outside

404 Not found

only visible in Zing it seems?

hmm lets try that again

an empty parking lot in the Summer, possible ski slope on the right?

If that's a ski slope, could be the Appalachian mountains since the trees and buildings suggest modest elevation. Maybe somewhere in TN or NC?

swimming pool in an industrial estate, narrows it down a tad.

the buildings look a little on the tall side for the west, so i'm cautiously going to say appalachia or maybe vermont/maine if that's skiing stuff (skeptical about that).

hmm, maybe the "amish" hat was a clue and this is the Poconos?

Gatlinburg

I think so too, though I can't find the exact location of the photo. If you squint enough, that trolley map says "Gatlinburg Trolley".

I couldn't read the first bit so I did a GIS for "trolley routes map"

Ahhh well done, I was googling Trolley Rides.

still not 100% if that's a ski slope

haven't found the lady yet :)

Correct on the first view - the lady is pretty close by, same part of town

= "Martha Jane Ogle cabin"

I still don't know what the headless man was photographing : https://www.google.com/maps/@35.7143154,-83.5103541,3a,15y,118.86h,87.9t/data=!3m6!1e1!3m4!1slEeqQ2fL6bfitdCjz8ArBw!2e0!7i16384!8i8192

(zoom out to see how that woman in her cabin is actually in a busy part of town)

sorry I keep going on about this but it's hilarious

"The first home built in White Oak Flats / Gatlinburg around 1802. It has been moved three times to allow for expansion of schools and the constant changes of the demands of tourism and now hopefully permanently located at the Gatlinburg Visitor Center at the junction of Hwy's 321/441."

I still don't know what the headless man was photographing

Holy Shit
