Guess the City

I had never heard of Narva before - I am not proud of this fact - but the Today Programme on Radio 4 had a feature from there this morning. IS that a weird coincidence or is Cherry Blossom making the news as well as the GTC thread?

I've been to Tallinn 3 times for work and I felt like this looked almost too Soviet to be Estonian but I think I found it, and I think it's Narva.

Good work, Narva it is!

Pretty desolate looking place, aside from the main tourist attraction of the castle. And Russia on the other side of the river

Narva feels like a city for cars, but without many cars

I’ve been there and it’s pretty bleak.

Its majority Russian there, I believe? Does it feel distinct from rest of Estonia? I read that Daugavpils in Latvia is pretty integrated despite being majority Russian speaking, but not sure on Narva

Yeah, it’s almost entirely Russian-speaking, though signs, shop labelling, etc, legally have to be in Estonian. It feels very different culturally, architecturally and financially from Tallinn and Tartu.

Guess Tne City

I believe the parked car is a late-2000s Fiat Punto.

that polygonal horse & rider logo on the van looks distinctive.

haha, ledge, yes, but that is my contribution

^ Portugeuse post van

Here you go...

Porto

incredible job

I literally was googling Porto earlier haha

Those sidewalks looked decisively Portuguese but not lime enough to be Lisbon

you don’t say!

xp

very impressive!

That went quicker than expected! Good work on the postal van, but how did you get from there to finding the correct spot so quickly?

Thanks guys! Never in a million years did I think I would get one of these. Once I had the right country, it didn't take too long to scoot through high-level, split-lane motorways looking for an adjacent roundabout - I started off with less-obvious cities first in fact.

How does it work? Do I get to do one now?

Good work!

How does it work? Do I get to do one now?

Yes! (I think it works that anyone can do one as long as there's not one already in play)

Cool! OK, guess the city!

buildings, foliage, road condition looks like eastern US or canada. dont see any SUVs/trucks though

#2 I know several people buried here (moving backward on the same road)

#3 Again, following the road backwards. That's all for today.

oh huh that first one really faked me out lol

you’re spoiling us !

can anyway make out what it says on that snack bar on the right in the first picture? is it PARK or (much more intriguingly) PANN- ?

It's definitely Sweden, I think... too prominent a "-vägen" is visible on that sign. Looks like it could be Eriksvägen but there is no roadway by that name that resembles this neighbourhood

I gotta get back to work so I'm just going to guess Landskrona and hope I'm right

I also thought Sweden but god knows where

yeah i assumed denmark or sweden once i saw the signage though i couldnt read the actual text on the street sign. doesnt look like a major city to me with those road conditions unless its pretty far out of the city center

3 images!

I saw the first just before I went out and was thinking Northern Germany or Denmark, but I now concur on Sweden

I found something similar to the house on the left in the first photo but it didn't lead anywhere fruitful

It's definitely PARK but I think it refers to the location and not the name. I think the name is the cursive on the far left of that strip and on the sandwich board with the milkshake on

I think it might be Sundbyberg as there's a cemetery next to an Eriksvagen but can't find the other details.

Are we sure it says Eriksvagen?

It didnt say that at all for me until someone said it did

to ne it looks like there’s some extra letters between the Erik(s) part and the vägen part (assuming these are correct)

I'm on board with vägen for multiple reasons but I'm pretty wary about this Erik business

I did immediately think Erik too, then a couple of letters and then maybe wegen or wingen?

southern part of Sweden definitely

Pic 3 looks like a football ground next to an ice hockey rink

I don't see football goals, only smaller hockey goals - so outside fake-grass hockey

I think it might be Sundbyberg as there's a cemetery next to an Eriksvagen but can't find the other details.

yes, you literally proceed from Eriksvägen to Kyrkogårdsvägen (Churchyard Road) - I have been roaming these roads, but no luck here either

ive been looking at cemeteries since that seems like the most specific of the 3 photos in that theres few per city, been hard to find one with a hill like that

its definitely not Eriksvägen, it's something like Er_s_vägen and that first blank could be 2 letters

i guess its not impossible for the first letter to be K and not E as well
