SO many resorts on that coast though! I feel like I've seen 200 piers and I'm only like 5% of the way

Reading about Sukhumi, apparently the destination for Soviet leaders dachas, now capital of Abkhazia, how much more "abandoned Eastern block resort" can you get than that? Nice choice.

All of our Guess The Citys from now on should be in "frozen conflict" zones. Next up, guess where in Transnistria!

I see where view III is supposed to be but I don't think the blue dot is where it should be.

I don't know if it's all that faded really, seems pretty lively on Instagram
Didn't expect it to be particularly big, but it's a fair bit smaller than Asheville or Kamloops

Looks like it could be the back of a major city train station. Building on the right looks kind of Middle European. Ashtrays on tables are a bit of a rarity these days, maybe somewhere East European?
― Zelda Zonk, Thursday, 2 September 2021 06:18 (four years ago)
the chimneys though... factory in a city?
― StanM, Thursday, 2 September 2021 12:31 (four years ago)
are those chimneys though? thought it may be a tower of some sort behind, hard to judge the scale.

How did you get to it? Already knew or something else give it away?
I saw the file names you gave the photos and thought it was a red herring
No red herrings! Clues are only ever in the photos!

I've been to Switzerland a couple of times, not to Basel but it felt Swiss and Zelda Zonk mentioning middle European solidified that thought so I got to image searching Swiss cities' railway stations

Doorway doesn't look French to me, although mountain in the background looks similar to the one outside Marseille. Old man with stick is a real generic Mediterranean old geezer, could be French, Spanish, southern Italian... the other people look like tourists, and Marseille isn't really a tourist town

What ARE those square button type things on the wall? Are they painted on? Either way: why?
