Guess the City

Tim already said that but I didn't know that was the name of the whole neighborhood

ha, the first picture is about 3 clicks away from the second if you click beyond the road barrier that blocks the next road on the left.

the place all looks shabby, like the places near where i live that were built immediately after the war in the cheapest materials and pebbledashed to hide the worst of it

Well done!

It does look like it's in need of some looking after for sure, architecturally pretty nice though, it's been on my list of places I want to go for some years now.

(So much so that I spent my lunch hour identifying modernist churches I might visit on a future trip to Brussels, I can feel a plan coming together nicely)

If you turn left and go down the road a bit it seems that between 2009 and 2013 a new estate was built around the corner, in which appears to be a modern homage to the original style:

The top link is 2009, the bottom 2013. It has the same street lights but the buildings have more wood.

Warrington, UK - looking towards Fiddlers Ferry Power Station (which has 8 towers but is the first google images result if you look for power station "7 towers" :-) )

https://www.google.be/maps/@53.3828828,-2.6086605,3a,75y,12.14h,83.03t/data=!3m8!1e1!3m6!1sAF1QipNQQlG1nwnjXj3TE2hbPXnOjvuWuOUGUbeQ9dch!2e10!3e11!6shttps:%2F%2Flh5.googleusercontent.com%2Fp%2FAF1QipNQQlG1nwnjXj3TE2hbPXnOjvuWuOUGUbeQ9dch%3Dw203-h100-k-no-pi-0-ya60.99318-ro-0-fo100!7i5734!8i2867

How'd you find it so quick?

I told you: I googled "power station "7 towers" " and the first result looked VERY suspiciously correct + the hills in the distance did too

first result in Images

and then the first aerial picture already looked like it was the right direction

https://www.google.be/maps/@53.3742371,-2.6680439,3a,75y,38.96h,86.71t/data=!3m8!1e1!3m6!1sAF1QipPUHszeH6erpADiR2Jk4tSuQ8ISZxIOml_Tjokg!2e10!3e11!6shttps:%2F%2Flh5.googleusercontent.com%2Fp%2FAF1QipPUHszeH6erpADiR2Jk4tSuQ8ISZxIOml_Tjokg%3Dw203-h100-k-no-pi-0-ya38.014175-ro-0-fo100!7i8192!8i4096

so we need to be further back + two bridges near each other: and that was it. Lucky :-)

I'd recognise Fiddler's Ferry in a heartbeat, Granadaland icon

Bit too obvious a landmark that one eh? I was going to do it pointing in the opposite direction originally

I only found it via that google search, wasn't familiar with it

Oops, just skimmed your answer.

oh no, the next one is going to be very hard now, isn't it?

yeah thanks for nothing stan!

:-(

;-)

Why not set one yourself?

i'm not that talented imho

Ok. Newb attempt. Possibly ridiculously easy or difficult.

My wild guess would be Oregon or somewhere northwest. There's a tree on the right that has red flowers, which might be a clue if identified

Thanks for fixing my newb flaws, Micah.

NW seems a good initial candidate. It looks to be at the base of a hill...or part way down one

Pennsylvania plate?

The license plate on the truck might be Utah, which probably means they just moved from Utah, and this is a completely useless clue.

Yeah, the plate itself doesn't really matter (its not PA anyway, top and bottom band take up too much space)

It looks pretty steep, from the trees and need for such a wooden structure to access the house, but you can't see much in the distance. Some humid northern climate.

That truck looks like a work truck (tool boxes, spray cans) rather than a moving truck.

The cars seems a bit older than I would expect in a middle class city area, so maybe outside a city in a rural area. Also, the houses are pretty modest for a "view" area.

Could be the hilly south too (Appalachia).

looks like the "back" of those houses--wonder what they are all facing? does look like a steep drop off

Pittsburgh somewhere??? That looks like a Penna plate

Definitely looks like a steep drop, hillside of some sort

That looks like a Penna plate

Aren't the bands wrong though? The blue and yellow look too thick, take up too much space

yeah you're right--those are also white letters which at a quick glance it looks like PA has blue letters

but it looks like maybe no states have white letters?

poking around Mt Washington areas of Pittsburgh and I feel like I'm close

Those houses don't look emotional enough to be Pittsburgh houses

trees and smoky air look wast coast to me?

I have more helpful pictures when you are ready. It seems google did the neighborhood on very different days.

AFAIK, Pennsylvania is the only state to use that color scheme in its license plates.

Those roofs are weird looking.

Agree that the houses/cars look a bit basic and give the impression it's not a particularly well off area.

I'm not convinced it's even in the US.

I thought the trees might help but if you're high up a mountain that could be harder again. The not-too-modern feel of it all is making me think Costa Rica maybe? no idea though

Puerto, not Costa

Never been to Puerto Rico but not really getting a Caribbean island vibe from that pic. Still thinking it's somewhere a bit cold and damp in mainland USA
