haha, i love this game. my tendency to latch on to an arbitrary detail like street median foliage or misidentified architectural style and be convinced it's representative of one part of the world when it's another altogether, not so much.

It is Odessa. How did you home in so quickly?

Thought Odessa before Kiev was posted, thinking Chisinau (slavic/latinate hybrid, light and plants say lowish latitude), then thought too wealthy, mercantile past = Odessa
― Nathan, Wednesday, 2 December 2009 18:34 (fourteen years ago) link
That's some good work. I didn't think there was too much of a slavic giveaway, other than that little dome and those beautiful, beautiful cars. I'm just noticing that fantastic fire escape up the right-hand side too.

sorry i was a bit late but I can confirm that #99 was indeed Ashland, PA
that was really very good, how did you know?
― cherry blossom, Tuesday, 8 June 2010 22:25 (thirteen years ago) link
because i've been there! i was amazed that i was right though. i thought it looked like that place i had been through when i visited centralia, pa, but i didn't remember what it was called. i did remember that some of the houses for sale had signs from anthracite realty, so i googled that and narrowed down the possibilities from there. i didn't really think it would be the same place, i thought it would be a place that looked like it.
― harbl, Tuesday, 8 June 2010 22:32 (thirteen years ago) link
Well it was v good!
I enjoyed this thread very much

is it boise from a weird angle where you can't see the capital building or something?
― 156, Wednesday, 9 June 2010 17:20 (thirteen years ago) link
not boise!

is it in west virginia?
― harbl, Wednesday, 9 June 2010 17:24 (thirteen years ago) link
my guesses are generally horrible though
harbl or cherry blossom, did you go take the mine tour or go to knobels grove when you went to centralia? cuz that's what I did.

nah i was just passing through. we got out of the car and walked around but it started pouring. i would love to go back and do a tour!
― harbl, Wednesday, 9 June 2010 17:30 (thirteen years ago) link
I didn't even pass through!
I made a mistake with 114 I put the wrong picture up, its kind of hard (but then so was ashland!). I'm going to leave it up there and put the one i meant to put up as 115

I want to say Glasgow because there are a pair of high-rises behind Celtic Park, but I don't recognise the streets.
― ailsa, Wednesday, 9 June 2010 17:42 (thirteen years ago) link
oh, and also it doesn't really look that much like Celtic Park
― ailsa, Wednesday, 9 June 2010 17:43 (thirteen years ago) link
I reckon somewhere midlands-y or northern england anyway. Oldham?
― ailsa, Wednesday, 9 June 2010 17:45 (thirteen years ago) link
Think the first one might be Glasgow though?
― ailsa, Wednesday, 9 June 2010 17:56 (thirteen years ago) link
Stadium in 115 is Elland Road... Leeds.
― tomofthenest, Wednesday, 9 June 2010 18:46 (thirteen years ago) link
115 is indeed Leeds tom! a pretty easy one
wrong on (the much harder) 114 though
― cherry blossom, Wednesday, 9 June 2010 19:17 (thirteen years ago) link
That is a good shot of Leeds, love those back to backs. Have you got a link to a bigger version? (yes, I want to steal it).

I am going to kick myself when 114 is identified because it looks very familiar.

there's mills in 114. Burnley?

Huddersfield?

Blackburn?
― i'm gonna go and talk to some food about this (Ned Trifle II), Wednesday, 9 June 2010 20:26 (thirteen years ago) link
neither - I made that pic too hard I think, could have been easier from a different angle maybe
― cherry blossom, Wednesday, 9 June 2010 20:32 (thirteen years ago) link
Rochdale?
― Don't look at the finger (Ste), Wednesday, 9 June 2010 20:33 (thirteen years ago) link
It's really really familiar, but can't place it... yet!
― tomofthenest, Wednesday, 9 June 2010 20:33 (thirteen years ago) link
Yes, Rochdale, from a different angle the big red mill might have given it away more
