I have spent a lot of time in DC-Baltimore-Philly and these solid streetfronts don't look to me like those solid streetfronts (in particular the iron on the windows doesn't look right to me)

The tile-work(?) is not something you find in Philly, except for ten years in California, I've been living here or returning here for nearly forty years, never seen anything like those.

idk looks like france to me

i was going to say: reminds me of France

flat roofs, residential street is far too wide for a pre-automobile city. not europe IMO.
― ๐ ๐๐ข๐จ (caek), Monday, 8 February 2021 17:27 (three years ago) link
hmm i'm zooming in and now i'm not so sure. it's not a residential street for one thing.
buildings suspiciously low rise for europe but ... maybe?
this is a good one.

having spent the last three years taking my son to construction sites, i will say: the construction vehicles do not look north american.
― ๐ ๐๐ข๐จ (caek), Monday, 8 February 2021 17:30 (three years ago) link
Maybe it's Canada! I really do think the white-collonade face of that long brick building looks New England, and so do the trees, but the construction stuff reads to me as French, that's where I'm getting Canada.

The tile work on the stairs at left seem very unAmerican.

i would have guessed maybe somewhere in provence but less glitzy than arles or aix

im just seeing it as a blvd 'in the style of hausman' with a town hall at the end. i mean it could just as easily be latvia idk
― plax (ico), Monday, 8 February 2021 19:23 (three years ago) link
it does feel kinda Northern European, I think
― StanM, Monday, 8 February 2021 19:27 (three years ago) link
Could it be Goteborg?

surely to fuck this is europe not north america.

Tiles make me think Portugal and I've thought Lisbon a couple of times recently but it hasn't been but maybe this is? So, Lisbon?

I think the key may lie in finding out which country/city is apt to space out those cubic orange/white channelizing barricades in such a manner.

The green truck seems to have a word on the front -- looks like MACNYE to me but I'm not getting any hits for that
― Guayaquil (eephus!), Monday, 8 February 2021 19:55 (three years ago) link
that's what I was thinking. the Blue on white tile and then the orange-roofed building in the distance made me think "southern Sweden" for some reason.
― The return of our beloved potatoes (the table is the table), Monday, 8 February 2021 19:56 (three years ago) link
Or somewhere in Denmark, maybe? Northern Europe seems like the best bet so far.

Bunch of very dark haired people in the photo.

But the sand/dried mud on the roads seems more chalky Mediterranean, that's why I thought Bordeaux but what do I know
― Andy the Grasshopper, Monday, 8 February 2021 20:05 (three years ago) link
It looks very reminiscent of Tartu, Estonia.

I thought the roller vehicle said something like MACHTENS but I may be forcing it to be dutch
― StanM, Monday, 8 February 2021 20:10 (three years ago) link
or maybe it's Argentina

The buildings are the wrong height for France. Need one more story for provincial villes. Also Iโve never seen tiles like that here.

Agree that it doesn't look like France, does look like Europe. But not necessarily Northern Europe? Tiles look Iberian to me, although it's pretty flat for Portugal so maybe Spain? Or a colonial Spanish city in South America? The barricades seem not like something you'd see in a wealthy country...

can't think of a pic on this thread that has prompted a wider geographic range of good guesses

Trees look a bit Latin city boulevard too
― Zelda Zonk, Monday, 8 February 2021 22:58 (three years ago) link
Yeah, a little "warm!" or "colder!" would be of help right now.
― Andy the Grasshopper, Monday, 8 February 2021 23:03 (three years ago) link
There's a slow-moving vehicle sign on that steam-roller, which I believe are unique to North America. It looks like Charleston SC or something, something old and Southern
― flamboyant goon tie included, Monday, 8 February 2021 23:32 (three years ago) link
I'm going to guess Ulaanbaatar
― Jersey Al (Albert R. Broccoli), Tuesday, 9 February 2021 00:13 (three years ago) link
something old and Southern
I mean New Orleans was the first thing I thought of when I saw those wrought iron minibalconies but I can't convince myself this is someplace that warm
― Guayaquil (eephus!), Tuesday, 9 February 2021 00:35 (three years ago) link
Yeah, no magnolia trees
― Andy the Grasshopper, Tuesday, 9 February 2021 00:36 (three years ago) link
Wait, is this a Left Hand Traffic country?
― Jersey Al (Albert R. Broccoli), Tuesday, 9 February 2021 00:44 (three years ago) link
I was wondering too... but there are not traffic signs to judge by, and the road equipment could be traveling in either direction
― Andy the Grasshopper, Tuesday, 9 February 2021 00:55 (three years ago) link
The car braking at the end of the street appears to be LHT.

I said Lisbon upthread and I'm pretty sure I've found it? More trees but looks right

I wondered if the tall building behind the trees was a church, yet it's flanked on both sides by those barn-colored apartments, which made me pause. But it is indeed a church. Good work!
