Correct! It’s the student dorm by Louis Kahn.

I was going to say: that looks like a Kahn building, and it looks like a university campus.

Boston? Somewhere on the T I should think.

it's definitely some sort of subway wayfinding graphic decal on the entry doors to the installation on the right and it looks T-ish to me

Looks like it could be almost any American city that has some underground rail near a big parking garage, ie. most of them.
― o. nate, Monday, 22 March 2021 22:16 (three years ago) link
Multiple pedestrian signals + protected cycling infrastructure makes me think this is not just *any* American city (though the 9 story parking garage next to the transit center seems kinda suburban or urban-suburban?)

that's a us no parking sign. looks like forsythia about to bloom - google says it's in growing zones 5-9, doesn't narrow it down too much except it's not the far north. something about the size and spacing of the buildings suggests not-the-east-coast to me. brown leaves in the gutters. could be anywhere. columbus? indianapolis? omaha?

There is something odd about the bike lane stencil, notably the wheels.

so little to go on here, but the sign in front of the blue pole looks pretty distinctive

I don't think I'm right, but this reminds me of when I was in Baltimore.

There's a blue A on those doors. Those bike stencils are definitely in use in California, probably elsewhere too though.

In this case, I recently saw that building in person and remembered it. Sometimes it seems people use different techniques than this.

I had good buffalo wings, thanks map. There are great breweries in buffalo too—my favorite was called the big ditch brewing company.

Buffalo is one of those cities where many people I know have spent a significant amount of time because of the Poetics program at the SUNY campus there, but I have never been. All I know about it is snow, snow, and more snow.

Hah yeah my memory of Buffalo was 25+ feet of snow, it amazes me there is any bicycle infrastructure at all.

Apparently it is absolutely perfect in the summer, which I don't doubt.

I’ve never been but Buffalo to me means Julius Eastman and Morton Feldman...
