Guess the City

It’s a great city. I loved my brief time there.

is there a treasure buried under this X?

I've heard Aarhus is a very, very nice hus.

TEC on that red box (lightbulb on top?) should be a clue. Some kind of alarm system?

Edinburgh, Scotland?

Trying to make out the TO LET agent but it's broken my eyes

I can't remember which guess the city it was but one time I ended up looking around pretty much every city in the North of England and i
In Sunderland there were a hell of a lot of these single story terraces

so... Sunderland?

It is Sunderland! Managed a lucky drop on a road with a bend in it and two left hand adjoining roads

wow!

well done!

Interesting detour via Denmark first, but good work in getting to Sunderland in the end. They do have a bunch of these single story terraces that don't seem to occur elsewhere like that

sure looks like the US of A, and a city big enough to have a bus system

feels very southwestern USA to me too

The look of the building and the fact that the lot has a number (under YES - ATTENDANT ON DUTY) suggests that the parking lot belongs to a big institution -- my first guess would be state university campus? The lower-slung brick buildings in the background work with that too.

Red white and blue piping on the windows of the shuttered building (bar?) match U of Arizona colors, is this Tucson?

oh - I was drawn to Austin/Houston but not based on anything in particular

Actually looks more like Texas than Arizona to me but at UT there would for sure be some burnt orange in frame. Bike rack in front of the parking lot also very consistent with university campus but maybe I'm letting myself get functionally fixed on that.

hospital? government building?

Sorry this isn't helpful at all, but I'm not seeing much to indicate any region in particular (except for the lack of sunshields in the cars, which would indicate somewhere less sunny than AZ to me). This also looks to me like any urban parking lot not a university one, which would possibly have a nicer, branded attendant hut?

idk though I've been pretty wrong on this thread lately

Reno seems like a place that could have a large tower next to an old single-story neighborhood.

appreciate cherry blossom going the extra mile by first covering the sign? text? on that wall with a blanket before taking the picture they wanted to post. such dedication to the thread concept!

I'm not getting any very distinct regional vibe either. It does look vaguely like some sort of government office building to me.

Key would be figuring out building and which cities have buses with the colors of the one in the background. Also: must be in a state that requires front license plates.

just gotta find where this deluxe double Toyota is available

the articulated bus livery got me there eventually

Huh. The Brutalist concrete building is an apartment tower for senior citizens, it turns out.

ah yes, that famous southwestern city Cleveland. I was wrong.

Checks out.

― koogs,

I initially thought it was some kind of Greyhound building till going back in time

Last for the week

Is it my imagination or are those Chinese characters on the back of those Coca Cola signs?

According to Google, the flag with blue, white, and yellow stripes top to bottom is the flag of Hazaristan, a region of Afghanistan, and according to DeviantArt it is the flag of the mascfluidflux gender.

Another view

That feels a lot more remote or isolated than the stadium would suggest - I'm trying to guess the sport from the chalk lines in the grass too - not something I can immediately place

Does mocking up the 'cash & carry' logo in the back there and doing a reverse image search count as cheating? If so I'll keep my counsel :)

Not in my book it doesn't. If I were prepared to go to that much trouble I'd post the answer & take the credit.

yeah that's exactly the sort of effort which should be rewarded

is that a special version of the logo? (we don't have that over here)

It's Ulan-Ude in Siberia. Good old yandex.com came up with the goods, and it wasn't the first result that helped, as I found after looking at every sports stadium in Mongolia.

What is going on in the stadium (see also the cash and carry sign on the left): https://goo.gl/maps/4VLu1p4jquZ6sKVi6

Thought it was a fool's errand to look for the second image, was going to give up after my third try but then got lucky: https://goo.gl/maps/uBarJHdLzPRAKXz58

nice one! VIPs get to stand in the penalty box, eh?

Ulan-Ude it is, I thought it might go faster from the stadium seat flag colours. The two images were too good not to post though

Yep, good pics. The Google car does get to some interesting places. Seriously though I would like to know the provenance of some of the images; A 360 image of a sparsely attended Buddhist festival in the middle of Siberia I guess is not too incredible but a random girl in a hut?

Also noticed they have two stadiums next door to each other like Dundee

Girl in a hut is such a good shot!

Users can submit 360 degree "photo spheres" to Google street view. I think there's an Android phone feature.

Don't know where she'll be tomoooooorrow
