no idea. three bridges near each other, midsize buildings, could be a suburb of 3/4 of the usa. shrug

I'm not sure "suburb" is how I'd describe that view

Kind of imagine Niagara Falls would look like that if there was no famous waterfall there, just a river

Got a guess a while back from combing thru a list of US truss bridges, started there. Found some in Memphis that felt similar but no dice, zoomed out and started looking thru a few southern cities. Got lucky with Shreveport!

I thought of Memphis, but the river was too small to be the Mississippi. Tried Little Rock. It did look Southern to me.

The trash bin at 87 doesn't have the logo obscured, but I can't read the text. Maybe it's still recognizable to someone.

Think the bin logo is Thanet council. Have clicked around but not found anything like these houses yet.

Good job! I went through all the council logos of the UK (found a good Medium account that hosts them) but the crudeness of the lines threw me and I didn't make the match especially as the two separate swoops on the right look like one on the bin.
― Long enough attention span for a Stephen Bissette blu-ray extra (aldo), Tuesday, 1 February 2022 11:27 (two years ago) link
personally Iβm would have had no idea where to start until the council logo was spotted. And then I just trawled the aerial view of Margate until I found a cheaper area of town with terrace roofs. When I found it I was sure I was wrong because the plants were all overgrown, jeeze. But tomorrow saw it more clearly than I.

Getting a Roanoke, Virginia vibe
― tomorrow, Friday, 11 March 2022 19:06 (two years ago) link
that's a city of over 500k, maybe 1m people. roanoke seems to small.
i think it's the US though. looks like an engineered river on the left hand side.
― π ππ’π¨ (caek), Friday, 11 March 2022 19:35 (two years ago) link
xpDoes look like it, but this seems to be a much larger city than Roanoke.

I guess the city feels North American but I can't seem to find a location that's just the right amount of mountainous/flat - I'm probably all wrong thinking wind turbines = sea shore, aren't I.

The city itself, with its size and sprawl, looks Californian, but the hills are way too green for that. I'm not sure there's any city that big surrounded by mountains in the Pacific Northwest or in the Appalachians. So if its in the US I'm stumped on where it might be.
