That tall building with the clock looks a little like that one in Liverpool, but that's on the waterfront, I believe

StanM, Sunday, 26 September 2010 10:22 (thirteen years ago) link

xpost, yeah

Is that the Liver building being built? (Insert obligatory "can't tell if those cars have hubcaps" joke here.)

Tim, Sunday, 26 September 2010 10:24 (thirteen years ago) link

Liverpool indeed, it's my hometown. I liked that it was the Liver Building without the Liver Birds in place.

krakow, Sunday, 26 September 2010 10:27 (thirteen years ago) link

xp Manchester? Looks a bit like Oxford Rd to me...

Neil S, Sunday, 26 September 2010 10:32 (thirteen years ago) link

Looks like San Francisco, maybe the Marina district.

Oh do come to the mod illuminati conclave chez (Michael White), Monday, 8 November 2010 15:46 (thirteen years ago) link

how would you even begin with that photo? lampposts? the off-turquoise colour of the building suggests a lowish latitude perhaps

Adrian Roosevelt "Adie" Mike (nakhchivan), Monday, 8 November 2010 15:47 (thirteen years ago) link

the man is wearing a hat, which indicates this city is located in a place where people wear hats

whiney trollins vs. hipsters (dayo), Monday, 8 November 2010 15:49 (thirteen years ago) link

fire escapes, light, oldish, tallish buildings, driving on the right. looks like sf to me.

caek, Monday, 8 November 2010 15:51 (thirteen years ago) link

non-threatening cartoon on kiddies' window blind suggests maybe some liberal influences

Adrian Roosevelt "Adie" Mike (nakhchivan), Monday, 8 November 2010 15:52 (thirteen years ago) link

building looks 30s.....so yeah would rule out a lot of places

Adrian Roosevelt "Adie" Mike (nakhchivan), Monday, 8 November 2010 15:53 (thirteen years ago) link

it is SF yes. martin luther king square

(i guessed before i saw where it was too - which can make a good "guess the city" candidate to see if others do the same

cherry blossom, Monday, 8 November 2010 15:56 (thirteen years ago) link

i would have guessed california cuz kinda 'chill', and sf cuz it's old

but it's interesting how efficient these vague associations can be compared to the more deductive methods that failed to unearth my last city upthread

Adrian Roosevelt "Adie" Mike (nakhchivan), Monday, 8 November 2010 16:02 (thirteen years ago) link

how would you even begin with that photo?

criminally i admit i got this all because of gta san andreas san fierro graphics.

Tim, Monday, 4 April 2011 14:28 (thirteen years ago) link

I thought france or belgium but that church looks almost baltic-ish. so no clue!

Minnie The Minx, Monday, 4 April 2011 14:34 (thirteen years ago) link

the spire is very balticish

it isn't, but it's in a place with some architectural influence from the eastern hansa towns
