haha, i love this game. my tendency to latch on to an arbitrary detail like street median foliage or misidentified architectural style and be convinced it's representative of one part of the world when it's another altogether, not so much.

113.

Odessa

Nathan, Wednesday, 2 December 2009 18:22 (fourteen years ago) link

It is Odessa. How did you home in so quickly?

Ismael Klata, Wednesday, 2 December 2009 18:25 (fourteen years ago) link

I was going to give it some of this next:

And then finish up with these chaps:

Thought Odessa before Kiev was posted, thinking Chisinau (slavic/latinate hybrid, light and plants say lowish latitude), then thought too wealthy, mercantile past = Odessa

Nathan, Wednesday, 2 December 2009 18:34 (fourteen years ago) link

That's some good work. I didn't think there was too much of a slavic giveaway, other than that little dome and those beautiful, beautiful cars. I'm just noticing that fantastic fire escape up the right-hand side too.

Ismael Klata, Wednesday, 2 December 2009 18:39 (fourteen years ago) link

Slavic as Andrei Arshavin on a pogrom tbh

Nathan, Wednesday, 2 December 2009 18:43 (fourteen years ago) link

That's not a photoshop I want to be seeing.

Ismael Klata, Wednesday, 2 December 2009 18:45 (fourteen years ago) link

six months pass...

sorry i was a bit late but I can confirm that #99 was indeed Ashland, PA

that was really very good, how did you know?

cherry blossom, Tuesday, 8 June 2010 22:25 (thirteen years ago) link

because i've been there! i was amazed that i was right though. i thought it looked like that place i had been through when i visited centralia, pa, but i didn't remember what it was called. i did remember that some of the houses for sale had signs from anthracite realty, so i googled that and narrowed down the possibilities from there. i didn't really think it would be the same place, i thought it would be a place that looked like it.

harbl, Tuesday, 8 June 2010 22:32 (thirteen years ago) link

Well it was v good!

I enjoyed this thread very much

huh.

156, Wednesday, 9 June 2010 17:06 (thirteen years ago) link

is it boise from a weird angle where you can't see the capital building or something?

156, Wednesday, 9 June 2010 17:20 (thirteen years ago) link

not boise!

cherry blossom, Wednesday, 9 June 2010 17:23 (thirteen years ago) link

is it in west virginia?

harbl, Wednesday, 9 June 2010 17:24 (thirteen years ago) link

my guesses are generally horrible though

harbl, Wednesday, 9 June 2010 17:24 (thirteen years ago) link

harbl or cherry blossom, did you go take the mine tour or go to knobels grove when you went to centralia? cuz that's what I did.

GENE PITNEY'S SWEATER BY KANDAHAR (los blue jeans), Wednesday, 9 June 2010 17:29 (thirteen years ago) link

nah i was just passing through. we got out of the car and walked around but it started pouring. i would love to go back and do a tour!

harbl, Wednesday, 9 June 2010 17:30 (thirteen years ago) link

I didn't even pass through!

I made a mistake with 114 I put the wrong picture up, its kind of hard (but then so was ashland!). I'm going to leave it up there and put the one i meant to put up as 115

I want to say Glasgow because there are a pair of high-rises behind Celtic Park, but I don't recognise the streets.

ailsa, Wednesday, 9 June 2010 17:42 (thirteen years ago) link

oh, and also it doesn't really look that much like Celtic Park

ailsa, Wednesday, 9 June 2010 17:43 (thirteen years ago) link

I reckon somewhere midlands-y or northern england anyway. Oldham?

ailsa, Wednesday, 9 June 2010 17:45 (thirteen years ago) link

Think the first one might be Glasgow though?

ailsa, Wednesday, 9 June 2010 17:56 (thirteen years ago) link

Stadium in 115 is Elland Road... Leeds.

tomofthenest, Wednesday, 9 June 2010 18:46 (thirteen years ago) link

115 is indeed Leeds tom! a pretty easy one

wrong on (the much harder) 114 though

cherry blossom, Wednesday, 9 June 2010 19:17 (thirteen years ago) link

That is a good shot of Leeds, love those back to backs. Have you got a link to a bigger version? (yes, I want to steal it).

i'm gonna go and talk to some food about this (Ned Trifle II), Wednesday, 9 June 2010 19:29 (thirteen years ago) link

I am going to kick myself when 114 is identified because it looks very familiar.

The full Leeds pic...so weirdly carless!

cherry blossom, Wednesday, 9 June 2010 19:34 (thirteen years ago) link

there's mills in 114. Burnley?

Don't look at the finger (Ste), Wednesday, 9 June 2010 19:35 (thirteen years ago) link

Thanks! xp

i'm gonna go and talk to some food about this (Ned Trifle II), Wednesday, 9 June 2010 19:39 (thirteen years ago) link

v close on 114 there ste, but not quite!

cherry blossom, Wednesday, 9 June 2010 19:42 (thirteen years ago) link

Huddersfield?

i'm gonna go and talk to some food about this (Ned Trifle II), Wednesday, 9 June 2010 20:19 (thirteen years ago) link

Blackburn?

i'm gonna go and talk to some food about this (Ned Trifle II), Wednesday, 9 June 2010 20:26 (thirteen years ago) link

neither - I made that pic too hard I think, could have been easier from a different angle maybe

cherry blossom, Wednesday, 9 June 2010 20:32 (thirteen years ago) link

Rochdale?

Don't look at the finger (Ste), Wednesday, 9 June 2010 20:33 (thirteen years ago) link

It's really really familiar, but can't place it... yet!

tomofthenest, Wednesday, 9 June 2010 20:33 (thirteen years ago) link

Yes, Rochdale, from a different angle the big red mill might have given it away more
