I thought Mandalay but not with any real reason, then I noticed not much streetview coverage but didn't find it (because it wasn't Mandalay)

fuuuuuck i searched a bit after you saying pullman was interesting but didn't look for myanmar cause the pullmann hotel site i ended up on did not mention any hotels in that country.well done ledge and also i'm in awe at you recreating the logo to search for it!
― Jibe, Thursday, 1 April 2021 14:57 (three years ago) link
go for it or something
― Jibe, Thursday, 1 April 2021 14:58 (three years ago) link
I missed the pullman hint! After getting the lotteria logo I worked out the no motorbikes sign was definitely Myanmar, searching "'a timeless experience' Myanmar" on Yandex my new favourite search engine got a page for a Yangon luxury condo with that tagline. No way I can find that specific streetview location though!

man that is tough, not much to go on. the car at the far end of the road seems to be driving on the left. i don't know why but it makes me think of new zealand, even though i've never set foot anywhere near there

Looks sooooo much like a place I know, in Chico, CA, but since it seems that place isn't on streetview, my theory collapses.

the trees and the the curbs look like USA to me but the blue line on the street does not. Trying to make something of the grey box on the sidewalk in front of the streetlamp.

I was thinking US too but the blue line has a more Andean feel, possibly northern Argentina

Also, looks like the word "Google" is faintly stenciled on the fence, maybe a Google facility?

Most of Colorado Blvd in Pasadena has a blue line on each side of the street indicating the do-not-cross point for viewing the Rose Parade. It's even roughly the same distance from the curb as the current pic. There's also a pink line down the center of the street that the float drivers use to steer, since they usually can't see out the front windows.

Ok perhaps I made this one a bit too hard

Yep. I liked the first pic because of the misdirection but figured we'd have been here for months if I didn't post another
― or something, Friday, 2 April 2021 14:27 (three years ago) link
I thought the pavement might have been a giveaway in that first pic but maybe that sort of pavement is more common than I realised

I think this is one of the petrol stations thats next to one of the big supermarkets, maybe
Feeling possibly somewhere in Wales

It looks just like the Tesco petrol station in Milton, probably looks just like a hundred others too.

The roofs of the houses look quite distinctive - like a nod to local vernacular architecture, but I canβt think of where.
― Scampo di tutti i Scampi (ShariVari), Friday, 2 April 2021 15:52 (three years ago) link
Iβm going to say Hereford.
― Scampo di tutti i Scampi (ShariVari), Friday, 2 April 2021 16:10 (three years ago) link
The petrol station in Tesco's Hereford faces the store in that aspect - the kiosk backs on to the roundabout.
Also, for future reference, if there's a dual carriageway in the picture it's not Hereford.
― Well *I* know who he is (aldo), Friday, 2 April 2021 16:17 (three years ago) link

the houses look like they might be big enough to be flats, which makes me think it's a biggish city.

I think its a Tesco Extra. They seem to have slightly different designs from the other ones though I don't know what significance is

yeah there's something fishy about those houses.
old guy seems to be walking to the right hand side though, which suggest left hand drive.

There are also Tescos in Hungary, Slovakia and the Czech Republic.
