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.

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

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

116

cherry blossom, Wednesday, 9 June 2010 20:34 (thirteen years ago) link

a plain state?

Super Cub, Wednesday, 9 June 2010 20:37 (thirteen years ago) link

these are all hard because at first i assume they are in the u.s. but then i have no idea, and definitely can't recognize anything in the uk

harbl, Wednesday, 9 June 2010 20:38 (thirteen years ago) link

116: Pyramids just out of view

StanM, Wednesday, 9 June 2010 20:38 (thirteen years ago) link

detroit?

tomofthenest, Wednesday, 9 June 2010 20:39 (thirteen years ago) link

detroit was the first to come to my mind, but the street's so wide that it looks like the main street of a much smaller midwest town

del griffith, Wednesday, 9 June 2010 20:40 (thirteen years ago) link

not detroit (i thought someone might guess there, but it isn't)

cherry blossom, Wednesday, 9 June 2010 20:41 (thirteen years ago) link

southern illinois

harbl, Wednesday, 9 June 2010 20:41 (thirteen years ago) link

city i don't know

harbl, Wednesday, 9 June 2010 20:42 (thirteen years ago) link

east st. louis?

del griffith, Wednesday, 9 June 2010 20:42 (thirteen years ago) link

harbl you're almost there!

cherry blossom, Wednesday, 9 June 2010 20:43 (thirteen years ago) link

well i really don't know of any cities there except east saint louis or carbondale and i have a feeling it's neither. probably a small-ish town. i've never been there, i just had a feeling.

harbl, Wednesday, 9 June 2010 20:45 (thirteen years ago) link

jacksonville (I am using google maps to guess, can you tell?)

tomofthenest, Wednesday, 9 June 2010 20:45 (thirteen years ago) link

Haha, I understand the pyramids reference now, but I cheated so I won't give it away.

tomofthenest, Wednesday, 9 June 2010 20:47 (thirteen years ago) link

oh, i didn't even see the pyramids thing. it's a place where it's hard out for a pimp right

del griffith, Wednesday, 9 June 2010 20:49 (thirteen years ago) link

ok is it cairo, illinois? lol

harbl, Wednesday, 9 June 2010 20:50 (thirteen years ago) link

del griffith, Wednesday, 9 June 2010 20:50 (thirteen years ago) link

cherry blossom, Wednesday, 9 June 2010 20:52 (thirteen years ago) link

how did stan know?

harbl, Wednesday, 9 June 2010 20:53 (thirteen years ago) link

xps Ahhh Rochdale! Amazing detail, you can see the fire station and the dome of the rather splendid John the Baptist church.

i'm gonna go and talk to some food about this (Ned Trifle II), Wednesday, 9 June 2010 20:54 (thirteen years ago) link

(i'd thought it was sorta...not famous exactly, but well known because of well how it looks!)

xp i wondered that too

cherry blossom, Wednesday, 9 June 2010 20:54 (thirteen years ago) link

cairo, i mean

cherry blossom, Wednesday, 9 June 2010 20:54 (thirteen years ago) link

I cheated. "find flickr page from url"

StanM, Wednesday, 9 June 2010 20:58 (thirteen years ago) link

116 is an amazing pic

Don't look at the finger (Ste), Wednesday, 9 June 2010 20:58 (thirteen years ago) link

ah ok. i wouldn't have guessed from the 100s of possibilities without that clue, but i'm still proud of my ability to guess what part of what state.
