Not the Scottish one that's for sure.

I think I see an evergreen back there? reminds me of denver, but the terraced skyscraper in the bg isn't denver, i'm pretty sure. woman looks american to me. looks a little on the dry side as well. i would guess upper plains to start with but who knows, not much to go by.

Having some trouble but I'm 90% sure it's the River Walk district of "The Biggest Little City In The World".

The Silver Legacy* is pretty distinctive. I think it's the tallest building in Nevada?

reno sucks ass ftr
i would rather go to stoke on trent than reno

That's easy to say for someone who's never been to stoke-on-trent

I was in Reno a year or so ago.. the gaming scene is definitely dying, killed off by California Indian casinos I imagine. There are empty ghost hotels, but you can still get the prime rib dinner (with beverage) for $8.99 at CalNeva.
― Andy the Grasshopper, Friday, 12 March 2021 18:31 (three years ago) link
Reno still has charm if you are uninterested in gaming:
Lots of access to the backside of the Sierras (although a friend lost his leg a couple years back after an extremely terrible climbing fall), pretty amazing hot springs that are off the internet grid, uh... that's all I got.

Oh, delicious (and CHEAP) Basque food within <1 hour drive.

i wouldn't die on the hill of reno sucking ass but i would take a scratch or two

it's unbearably hot then quite cold. dry as a bone. no culture. car city. everyone's a libertarian. sky is darkened by wildfire smoke an increasing amount of days per year. it's true you can drive an hour or more to get somewhere nicer i guess.

Its a similar story with Stoke on Trent and its branches of Card Factory, most (but perhaps crucially not all!) appear to be in adjacent areas, though opinions are fairly divided on what counts as Stoke on Trent proper, and what is just another shade of gray

Reno has great pawn shops, and a short drive to Virginia City which is pretty fun and has one of the best pioneer cemeteries anywhere.
― Andy the Grasshopper, Friday, 12 March 2021 19:27 (three years ago) link
i've been to stoke on trent and reno. neither is great tbh.
― π ππ’π¨ (caek), Friday, 12 March 2021 19:29 (three years ago) link
I have also been to both, Reno just shades it for me, but on the other hand Stoke on Trent is easier to leave

Johnny Cash never shot a man in Stoke on Trent just to watch him die
― Bastard Lakes (Camaraderie at Arms Length), Friday, 12 March 2021 19:37 (three years ago) link
Tony Pulis was in charge at the time, Cash was rarely able to leave his own half, was never even in shooting range

Nothing on the radar yet. If I get one I usually have a sense as a starting point and then close in from there, but I got nothing so far!

well I've managed to rule out Finland and Iceland because their No Entry signs use a yellow stripe on red and Greece because they use a shorter white stripe!

My first though was Italy. And I'm going to hazard a guess theres a decent sized drop to a wider valley below
