I don't feel good about it though (googled 'princess fitness centar')

That "Fitness Centar" spelling seems to be typical of the Balkans.

just an inkling, South Africa?(but seriously, how does one identify a street like that, somewhere on this globe?)

Surely they meant 'Fitness Centaur', which is a legit great name for a gym.

Darwin looks too tropical and abundantly vegetated so I'll guess one more Australian city and then abandon that country altogether- Adelaide?

can't make out the lettering on the back of that spare tyre on the vehicle because of the gate.

Somewhere that people with big houses feel the need to have big spiked gates outside.

I think this is Cape Town

Maybe somewhere in the Kenwyn suburb

Was just gonna post another pic but you got it! Everywhere I dropped a pin was ruler straight roads and bungaloids so I thought someone might recognise it.I like how breastcrawl guessed the country then said how impossible it was to guess.
― Computers I can live with, I even dried them in the oven (ledge), Saturday, 10 April 2021 09:14 (three years ago) link
whoa! guess I have watched enough SA music videos by now to get a feel for the placebut how do you get from there to identifying a seemingly generic suburban street?when cb mentioned Kenwyn I had a look at it and it very much had the vibe of the pic, but I was thrown by the Cook pines comment upthread. those trees do look like them (not that I’m an expert) and from what I could find they’re not really grown in SA. had just started investigating Auckland NZ.do we have the exact location yet?
― Blick, Bils & Blinky • Let's Skip The Shaker Intros (breastcrawl), Saturday, 10 April 2021 09:39 (three years ago) link
It's not Kenwyn but pretty close. I know we sometimes guess exact location but I wouldn't expect it here.
― Computers I can live with, I even dried them in the oven (ledge), Saturday, 10 April 2021 09:45 (three years ago) link
The narrowness of the street ruled out most other possibles, but it just felt like South Africa. And then if it was SA then Cape Town seemed the most likely. Had a look around and saw those trees wherever I looked, the four lines, the streetlights, the little verges all matched.
Kenywn had the right vibe, though I noticed the weather is different so could be an older streetview. Cape Town is extensively covered, didn't have any luck getting any closer to the actual street

xpI had just read about Cook pines (they naturally lean toward the equator) a couple weeks ago, and thought maybe the poster had included one as a clue.

― nickn, Saturday, 10 April 2021 16:46 (three years ago) link
a sensible assumption, I’d say. I’m still wondering if the trees in that pic are in fact Cook pines or not

I don't know, but the leaning one did look like one. And the non-leaning one looked like a Norfolk Island pine, which is a related species in the same area. The NI pines are planted frequently in SoCal, so I guess the Cook might range wide now too, which makes that "clue" (if it is a Cook) not as good for identifying the location.

Went back to get it, 1.3 miles north of Kenwyn
― cherry blossom, Sunday, 11 April 2021 19:15 (three years ago) link
Heroic. The cook pines were not a clue btw, had not heard of them before.
― Computers I can live with, I even dried them in the oven (ledge), Sunday, 11 April 2021 20:01 (three years ago) link
I just went immediately north of Kenwyn and dropped on a couple of streets till I found one with the same cloudier sky. Similar cloud formation made me think its a north-south street so just kept going north and it arrived after about a mile
Anyway back to Weekend at Cherry's (Obelisk edition)
