Guess the City

big fat ugly raised steel wired armoured cables on wooden poles rather than sunk (and with a scruffy loop left hanging there) suggests nobody loves this place!

Matazlan?

Or Mazatlan, even.

Definitely feeling Mexico for this (but also feeling Brazil hmm)

Not Mazatlan

Block of flats is confusing me. Looks sort of eastern European but on the other hand green shutters feels Latin

What do we think the smelting looking building with the chimneys is on the left? Behind the little building that might be a street church

perhaps they don't bury cables or build too high because it is in a seismic zone that frequently has earthquakes? god knows somewhere in Chile?

There seem to be mountains in the background too, though I have no purchase in this game right now, just mentioning it.

the unburied cables basically rules out western europe.

there might be an earthquake connection but generally speaking buried cables are a wealth thing even in earthquake zones. you can see the rich neighborhoods of LA from space becuase if you can see tree cover then you're looking at a neighborhood that could afford to bury. https://www.latimes.com/archives/la-xpm-2003-feb-09-re-pole9-story.html

Japan?

Japan isn't a city

(But no, not Japan. I'll give you that one)

San Felipe ?

the Chile one I mean

Nope. Is it too early for another pic?

I've exhausted my options. There's 3 or 4 I like for it but not enough to put forward

god this has to be chile

talca?

Or curicó?

Neither

my last guess is Chillán.

I’m still unreasonably tied to the idea this might be northern Mexico so will say Hermosillo.

ive gone off the idea of it being chile now. but definitely pacific and in latin america (nice and broad)

Not Chillán or Hermosillo

it looks like mexico to me too

the mixture of small cars (especially VWs) and a pickup truck certainly feels like mexico or s.america to me

wherever it is, it's on the drier side.

juarez?

Mexicali?

I thought Mexicali, but it doesn't look dry enough to me.

Not Juarez, not Mexicali

Nottingham.

Notthateither

One thing I've learned is that Mexico has a very large number of small to medium-sized cities that are extensively mapped on Google Streetview. This may or may not be relevant to the picture in question.

Was thinking somewhere in Montenegro but can't find anything from maps.

I'm getting Greek vibes. Thessaloniki?

I’m leaning more towards Brazil again. The blue line is puzzling.

The blue line is just the streetview route

Aha!

Is that ocean on the left of this view?

I like Brazil for all three images but not if thats the ocean

I'm away to look up coca-cola franchises in the entirety of Latin and South America, I'll have your answer in a week.

It's not the ocean

probably more fruitful to try to identify that blue and white bus (not that I’ve had any luck with it so far)

Monterrey?

No. Another pic or a clue?

Another pic would be good.
