the bus is an MCI D series (4000 or 4500, maybe others too) which is operated by pittsburgh
― micah, Saturday, 16 October 2021 20:29 (four years ago)
or at least operated in and around pittsburgh. the viaduct could be an elevated busway
― micah, Saturday, 16 October 2021 21:26 (four years ago)
guys you can keep saying pittsburgh til you're blue in the face, if you want confirmation cherry blossom will need a minimum 6 figure grid reference

Lol. And it may not even be Pittsburgh but one of the 100 or so grubby municipalities in Allegheny County. To which I would say: a borough is not a city!!!

Tell that to Titshire, the largest hamlet in Shroppingham, featured here in 2018

"Tell it to Titshire" - now there's a book/album title that should exist

Is that Walgreens? (not that that would help much, they have like 9,000 stores in the US)
― StanM, Monday, 18 October 2021 14:06 (four years ago)
Yes, Walgreens are everywhere in the US. It seems like maybe in this pic we're on the bridge/viaduct shown in the background of the first pic? Trying to work out whether that's train tracks in the far right hand side of this pic, which would possibly be passing under the bridge.

looks a lot like philadelphia tbh
― I'm a sovereign jizz citizen (the table is the table), Monday, 18 October 2021 16:34 (four years ago)
I think I've looked at all the Walgreens in Philadelphia and nothing with a viaduct + a big house with turrets seems to be jumping out at me
― StanM, Monday, 18 October 2021 17:31 (four years ago)
good on you, i've not that much attention span lol. what about pgh?

My wife just walked in and looked at the picture and told me it was in Union City. Actually Weehawken, I guess. Apparently we've driven past it multiple times, which I didn't recall.

I guess its near the ramp that we take to get on 495 heading west, but since I'm usually driving I've never noticed that library with the turrets before.
― o. nate, Tuesday, 19 October 2021 15:08 (four years ago)
OH SHIT! I totally recognize that now, but it's been years and years since I was a passenger on that stretch.

I bet we would have gotten it a lot faster if this had been the angle

Yes, Weehawken Public Library, such a familiar view to anyone who's driven or got the bus out that way!

I daresay there are a million places in the UK that might look just like it but it strongly reminds me of oxford.
― namaste darkness my old friend (ledge), Thursday, 21 October 2021 14:16 (four years ago)
that looks a lot like Oxford to me

xpost!
specifically the area around Cowley Road across to Headington Hill
Also quite like some parts of grandpont/hinksey but nowhere i can place specifically.
― namaste darkness my old friend (ledge), Thursday, 21 October 2021 14:24 (four years ago)
yeah Donnington Bridge and Iffley Road below Rose Hill and Iffley Village
― Critique of the Goth Programme (Neil S), Thursday, 21 October 2021 14:27 (four years ago)
The road runs NW/SE...
― namaste darkness my old friend (ledge), Thursday, 21 October 2021 14:29 (four years ago)
First building on left is either a students' halls of residence or a halfway house or something along those lines. Then the second building has a bizarre window, what is that?
― edited to reflect developments which occurred (Camaraderie at Arms Length), Thursday, 21 October 2021 14:30 (four years ago)
... is there a clue in the picture that we're missing? Is this kind of one way road super exceptional, maybe? Not getting any further than "could be anywhere in Britain" for now
― StanM, Friday, 22 October 2021 09:44 (four years ago)
sorry that was garbage, more like N/S

Very solid work upthread at getting Oxford without even needing that though!
― Sladoled Umbrella (cherry blossom), Friday, 22 October 2021 11:18 (four years ago)
I did grow up there, curious that it's so distinctive though - here's the street that it first reminded me of, a couple of miles over the other side of town, obv the OAP looking accommodation and gated driveway on the left is a coincidence but v similar two storey terraces: https://goo.gl/maps/qzt5Vso68Kt1vH5NA

― StanM, Friday, 22 October 2021 12:29 (four years ago)
oh no i did look at that briefly but didn't think 'hmm maybe it's a shark'... if i'd been thinking of north instead of south oxford i might have done!

Not a lot to work on here. Body of water far left could be a lake, river or harbour - I'm thinking the latter as there's some industrial type construction that could be part of a port facility. White building far left and building with light green facade centre left look European to me. Wild guess with not much to back it up would be somewhere in Italy
― Zelda Zonk, Wednesday, 27 October 2021 10:49 (four years ago)
Strange tower far right is pretty mystifying

looks like a shipping control tower, for the port at left maybe?
