there is nothing there to tell me it is american, except (possibly) for the width of the road. the hills in the background look like foothills, old and hunkered down. probably north-eastern, with a river (crossed by a bridge in the background)... could be springfield, ma? a piece of albany, ny?

being from upstate ny i feel like that is a good guess but i don't know which city. what about utica?

118 is kind of a hard one (though people have got harder ones!) - I'll reveal at the end of the day if no one has it (charleston is nearest guess so far)
this should be achievable though
119

utica, ny: the only place i have ever seen kids playing in the street next to a car on fire. it was like sarajevo, or one of those movies from the '80s about white teachers who go to bad neighborhoods to condescend to black people.

This is kinda turning into Guess the College-Town/County Seat/Small Burgh.

That white rounded conical object in the middle foreground of 118 might be a road salt depository, in which case someplace far north enough to get serious snow.

118 was Pittsburgh (welll... Mckeesport specifically but would have accepted pittsburgh as an answer)

Was going to say Homestead but the river was not quite right!

but the signage in pic 1 is in mandarin isnt it? wtf this game is impossible.
― rent, Sunday, 11 July 2010 21:35 (thirteen years ago) link
Turns out they use four alphabets in Japan - one is the same as mandarin, one is the same as Latin. So you see signs in English and you think it's weirdly helpful, but it's not actually that strange

I did manage to make out the word "calico" on that board, but there are 8 zillion bars/cafes/restaurants in the world called Calico, so that was a no-go.
