"Keep clear at all times" just feels to me like a phrasing I see in the US

The white car in the distance seems to be driving on the right - assuming that's not a one-way street. Yes obviously a place with cold wet weather and of the six or seven people you can see, they're all white. Could it be some small city in Western US, Colorado or something

Looks like a jacaranda at first glance, they are all over Brazil but also ... Australia

Wish I could figure out what sign has been removed from the wall - "Accident", "Acclaim" something something, looks to be in Helvetica or Unica or another humanist sans.
― assert (matttkkkk), Wednesday, 15 December 2021 04:57 (two years ago) link
Does look like a jacaranda. Doesn't look like Australia though, unless it's some windswept corner of Melbourne docklands or something - but I think squinting at the car in the distance, it's driving on the right.
― Zelda Zonk, Wednesday, 15 December 2021 05:12 (two years ago) link
The sign might say "Adelaide" on further inspection. But that could be the Adelaide Hall or something like that.
― assert (matttkkkk), Wednesday, 15 December 2021 05:13 (two years ago) link
The sign does look a bit like it might say Adelaide.
There's a red bike there that looks like it's a Vespa - not common in the US, I imagine, but I might be wrong.

xpI was thinking jacaranda for the tree too, but they are common in SoCal. Could also be Canada, maybe?
― nickn, Wednesday, 15 December 2021 06:46 (two years ago) link
lol, the address is right there above the bus stop about 10ft to the right of the picture.
the adelaide... seems to continue behind the tree, wonder what it says. and number 60 has some writing under the logo but it's too small to make out.

The text in the image says "Adelaide Police Station". Understandable that Matt only wanted to hint at knowing this, rather than revealing any direct experiential knowledge

there's another layer of palimpsest under the police sign, what looks like a roundel near the start of "station". it predates the earliest google picture though.

just based on the temporary construction and the "TOGETHER" : a covid vaccination center somewhere? (the one here in Mechelen, Belgium had a big "HERE WE REGAIN OUR FREEDOM" motivational banner and the Pfizer plant in Puurs, BE has a "SCIENCE WILL WIN" banner btw) (but what are the round things on the wall? overhead pics of cappuccino?)

Yellow circles on the left look like they might have an eagle on themThe O of together has a castle in it?Patio heater has an oval logo on the sticker, looks like US politics to meThe door is tied back with something printed, the right hand one maybe ends DAS or OASLogo above the stair rail looks like military or emergency services

Yeah but they would use the correct font.
I tell you whose font that is though, and that's Leicester City football club who also play in blue.
― Long enough attention span for a Stephen Bissette blu-ray extra (aldo), Friday, 17 December 2021 18:19 (two years ago) link
I thought maybe it was a "W" in the O of "TOGETHER", and the colors remind me of the University of Washington logo, but can't find any spot quite like it there.
― o. nate, Friday, 17 December 2021 18:54 (two years ago) link
I thought it was an N first, and a W would work for the same logic, but I think it might be more abstract which is why I said a castle.
― Long enough attention span for a Stephen Bissette blu-ray extra (aldo), Friday, 17 December 2021 18:57 (two years ago) link
Below the T and O, is that a picture of a mascot?
― Long enough attention span for a Stephen Bissette blu-ray extra (aldo), Friday, 17 December 2021 18:58 (two years ago) link
that thing on the right side of the white panel in the middle of picture looks like the NBA logo
― Dinsdale, Friday, 17 December 2021 19:23 (two years ago) link
fuck, left side
i think the logos on the wall are the same as the one in the O. and i thought N but W might be closer.

I don't know how temporary this corridor is - at first I thought: very, but then... that pipe top left, they cut out part of the blue wall for that - it's no longer something that can be just deconstructed & used elsewhere now
(in short: we still don't have a clue :-) )
― StanM, Saturday, 18 December 2021 09:37 (two years ago) link
something like... a hospital being rebuilt = this corridor is a semi-permanent construction that will be used for several years?
― StanM, Saturday, 18 December 2021 09:39 (two years ago) link
The big heaters make me think people aren't passing through the corridor quickly, they'd be in a slow line. I also thought vaccination center, but there would probably be markers on the floor for 6 foot distancing.
― Hideous Lump, Saturday, 18 December 2021 09:59 (two years ago) link
Looks like a sports or convention center facility. The flag/banner below the "TO" looks like the Pittsburg Penguins mascot, maybe this is an adjacent gym?
― nickn, Saturday, 18 December 2021 19:31 (two years ago) link
- I don't know what we're looking at there but I don't see a penguin in that?- Aldo said: "The door is tied back with something printed, the right hand one maybe ends DAS or OAS" - I think I see a CAOU.. or CHOU.. ?
― StanM, Sunday, 19 December 2021 19:21 (two years ago) link
the blue doors in the distance - yeah, they feel like something you could have at a big convention center or sports arena indeed
