Klaipeda, Lithuania? Has the requisite isthmus but can't quite make the rest of it fit, despite lots of red roofs and trees

Liepaja, Latvia!

Figured that the round red structure with the white roof was the best lead. Searched for pictures of round buildings and eventually found it. The "Great Amber" concert hall.

Well done! So a lake, not a river. I have never heard of Liepaja but it looks kind of nice!

the circular ornamental water feature is "Swan Pond"https://maps.app.goo.gl/zmfupPrPErVEbVwx9

No-Swan Pond would be more accurate

this looks like it is somewhere in latin america. the church that can barely be glimpsed to the right seems like it was constructed in the baroque style, probably pretty early, like 1600s.
i am going to guess this is somewhere in colombia. medellin?

north america because the portable AC is set to farenheit and there's a diner-style coffee mug. that's all i got.

They donβt have diner mugs abroad? Sucks for them.

lots of tourist/cabin type stuff everywhere in NorthEastern USA and I have no idea if that's even the right region (just because they have that washboard?)

That woman is behind a rope, which means she's an exhibit, right? "Come see the old frontier town grandma with her multiple aircon units and coffee machine!" (or whatever it is)

is this how people filled in their crossword puzzles in the olden days?

The white hat hanging on the door definitely looks like something worn for an olden-days experience.

By the door, I mean.

The headless man outside the cabin is taking a photo of something that looks like it could be used for gold panning. I'd say in general there's more of a "pioneer"/western frontier feel to the place (i.e., not the northeast where the emphasis would be more on colonial-era history, I think). Possibly Alaska, Colorado, Wyoming, North Dakota, etc. This is more of a stretch, but the way the people outside are dressed also looks ~western US~ to me
Given it's set to 64 and what everyone is wearing, that machine is probably functioning as a heater. I don't think the ropes are there to put her on display, she just works there and you're not supposed to touch anything behind the ropes
Stack of maps looks like a mountain range or river valley

six minutes later and I'm rethinking all that lol
the Amish wear straw hats with black ribbons, though they may not be the only people in history to do that
on further inspection, I'm not sure what the hell that guy is taking a picture of

an empty parking lot in the Summer, possible ski slope on the right?
― StanM, Tuesday, 6 July 2021 13:37 (two years ago) link
If that's a ski slope, could be the Appalachian mountains since the trees and buildings suggest modest elevation. Maybe somewhere in TN or NC?

swimming pool in an industrial estate, narrows it down a tad.
― Diggin Holes (Ste), Tuesday, 6 July 2021 14:10 (two years ago) link
the buildings look a little on the tall side for the west, so i'm cautiously going to say appalachia or maybe vermont/maine if that's skiing stuff (skeptical about that).

I think so too, though I can't find the exact location of the photo. If you squint enough, that trolley map says "Gatlinburg Trolley".

still not 100% if that's a ski slope
