Guess the City

That looks so much like Ontario. Is it London?

It's a very US-looking street sign, but maybe they're the same in English-speaking Canada?

It feels like Dubuque, IA but the river is just too small.

those street signs could be in canada.

i would guess ontario somewhere but i have only been to toronto, belleville and bancroft and it isn't one of those

The "window open on a miserable day" is kinda the cue for me

I don't think it's Ontario any more... it just doesn't fit any town/city I can think of

It's not Quebec ("STOP")

The distant "historical-looking" house on the hill suggests this is an older town

The pathetic bandshell in the park suggests ~20-40k population

i don't think it's concord nh (not hilly enough), youngstown oh (idk looks different). feels like maybe somewhere in penn. the river looks like it cuts through some limestone maybe.

On closer look, I think the street sign (the one with the name of the street) above the One Way sign on the left is dark red, which is rare though not unknown in the US; does Canada do this?

Then again, the giant silver SUV is a signal of Americanness

All this North American fine-tuning is gonna seem dumb when we find out it's Trondheim

lol

i say this about every city posted itt but it looks like a cool place, would visit. i like raininess, rivers, humidity and brick buildings, lol.

otoh i don't think that we have these

can imagine that sign in the first picture being all "this is where charlton titherswain, bricklayer, offloaded the material that built city hall" or w/e

On the definition of “city”

Mobile City, TX, the city with the highest population density in the state of Texas, consists of about 60 mobile homes, a butcher shop, and a liquor store. It was incorporated in 1990 so as to permit the liquor store, per Wikipedia. pic.twitter.com/a8xbquvyYn

having a google now, the butcher shop is also a taqueria

Those older brick buildings could be from Virginia or North Carolina.

Easton, Pennsylvania?

That seems correct, from Delaware Canal State Park. Looks like PA tbh, I've just never spent any time in Easton.

Shucks I had a feeling it was PA but kept centering my search on the Susquehanna and Allegheny

susquehanna too big imo

oh wait nm lol

double nm, i was looking at "eaton", not "easton", which is on the susquehanna. so confused. and posting about it.

The Delaware gets very very small in those parts--

it looked really close to allentown but i couldn't find the bridge

Easton's pop is 27,000, give or take, btw.

The Easton guesser has logged on, there it is

this part of pennsylvania has an unmistakeable green to it that i feel like i am very familiar with based on my exposure to paintings of joseph smith

Keep em coming, this is my favourite way to while away another lockdown

'the green dome' of spring into early autumn in PA is among its most charming characteristics.

Tbh that's also why I had so much trouble figuring it out-- there are so many towns that look like this.

Your pathetic bandshell will snitch on you

It's a town of 27k, fgti, maybe lay off the bandshell

Wow, Mid-Atlantic is my home region and I would never have guessed this one was so far east!
