six months pass...

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

huh.

156, Wednesday, 9 June 2010 17:06 (thirteen years ago) link

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!

cherry blossom, Wednesday, 9 June 2010 17:23 (thirteen years ago) link

is it in west virginia?

harbl, Wednesday, 9 June 2010 17:24 (thirteen years ago) link

my guesses are generally horrible though

harbl, Wednesday, 9 June 2010 17:24 (thirteen years ago) link

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'm gonna go and talk to some food about this (Ned Trifle II), Wednesday, 9 June 2010 19:29 (thirteen years ago) link

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

The full Leeds pic...so weirdly carless!

cherry blossom, Wednesday, 9 June 2010 19:34 (thirteen years ago) link

there's mills in 114. Burnley?

Don't look at the finger (Ste), Wednesday, 9 June 2010 19:35 (thirteen years ago) link

Thanks! xp

i'm gonna go and talk to some food about this (Ned Trifle II), Wednesday, 9 June 2010 19:39 (thirteen years ago) link

v close on 114 there ste, but not quite!

cherry blossom, Wednesday, 9 June 2010 19:42 (thirteen years ago) link

Huddersfield?

Blackburn?

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

cherry blossom, Wednesday, 9 June 2010 20:34 (thirteen years ago) link

a plain state?

Super Cub, Wednesday, 9 June 2010 20:37 (thirteen years ago) link

these are all hard because at first i assume they are in the u.s. but then i have no idea, and definitely can't recognize anything in the uk

116: Pyramids just out of view

StanM, Wednesday, 9 June 2010 20:38 (thirteen years ago) link

detroit?

tomofthenest, Wednesday, 9 June 2010 20:39 (thirteen years ago) link

detroit was the first to come to my mind, but the street's so wide that it looks like the main street of a much smaller midwest town

del griffith, Wednesday, 9 June 2010 20:40 (thirteen years ago) link

not detroit (i thought someone might guess there, but it isn't)

cherry blossom, Wednesday, 9 June 2010 20:41 (thirteen years ago) link

southern illinois

harbl, Wednesday, 9 June 2010 20:41 (thirteen years ago) link

harbl, Wednesday, 9 June 2010 20:42 (thirteen years ago) link

east st. louis?

del griffith, Wednesday, 9 June 2010 20:42 (thirteen years ago) link

harbl you're almost there!

cherry blossom, Wednesday, 9 June 2010 20:43 (thirteen years ago) link

well i really don't know of any cities there except east saint louis or carbondale and i have a feeling it's neither. probably a small-ish town. i've never been there, i just had a feeling.

harbl, Wednesday, 9 June 2010 20:45 (thirteen years ago) link

jacksonville (I am using google maps to guess, can you tell?)

tomofthenest, Wednesday, 9 June 2010 20:45 (thirteen years ago) link

Haha, I understand the pyramids reference now, but I cheated so I won't give it away.

tomofthenest, Wednesday, 9 June 2010 20:47 (thirteen years ago) link

oh, i didn't even see the pyramids thing. it's a place where it's hard out for a pimp right

del griffith, Wednesday, 9 June 2010 20:49 (thirteen years ago) link

ok is it cairo, illinois? lol

harbl, Wednesday, 9 June 2010 20:50 (thirteen years ago) link

del griffith, Wednesday, 9 June 2010 20:50 (thirteen years ago) link
