but they also gave me a part of brooklyn which trump won by 81 points (!!!) which seems tricky

(i am aware there are parts of brooklyn that are mega racist blue lives matter italians and such but having never been to any part of brooklyn i can't really discriminate and it all just looks like brooklyn to me)

15/21 though a good chunk of them were either barely right or close but no

It's fine once I clicked through.
Instinctively thought Denver but those trees look like horse chestnuts so I think somewhere in the UK.

they're driving on the right. it's not the uk. and there's a bus lane which makes me think it's not the US.

GIS'd "Landesmuseum" and it was on the first page of answers, fortunately.

I got 20 of 21 on that NYTimes thing, but I've also lived in a lot of different parts of the US, and if I haven't, I've been through them. My years of vagabondage pay off in such weird knowledge, I guess.

The normal rule of thumb for the UK is, if it looks like nowhere and everywhere at the same time then its Stoke On Trent
― cherry blossom, Monday, 29 March 2021 19:18 (three years ago) link
Not Stoke-on-Trent. It is a city, though, not a town.
― joni mitchell jarre (anagram), Monday, 29 March 2021 19:20 (three years ago) link
No, if it looks like nowhere and everywhere at the same time - but worse - then its Stoke On Trent.
― Duncan Disorderly (Tom D.), Monday, 29 March 2021 19:20 (three years ago) link
Looks like Manchester with the motorway right up next to terraces, if that is a motorway

sheffield IMO
