add a few terraces and get rid of the terracotta roofs and it would look like somewhere in northern england

I looked and thought France (lack of steeples, European architecture), never would've narrowed it down to St. Etienne though

tbh I didn't even know st. etienne was a city, but I was scanning france in google maps and I had some vague recollection that ye olde ilxors liked that band.

i've been to st etienne and i would not have recognized it. in my mind it's a city where it's always gray and sooty. mining city cliché.

yeah

clouds, Thursday, 9 May 2013 12:42 (ten years ago) link

like shenzhen or something

great wallogina (Autumn Almanac), Thursday, 9 May 2013 12:43 (ten years ago) link

holy fuck. correct.

clouds, Thursday, 9 May 2013 12:46 (ten years ago) link

ace

great wallogina (Autumn Almanac), Thursday, 9 May 2013 12:48 (ten years ago) link

what made you think shenzhen?

the wide boulevard, and there's a familiar looking (for some reason) highrise on the left

great wallogina (Autumn Almanac), Thursday, 9 May 2013 13:00 (ten years ago) link

the boulevard does suggest a newer city (not that the ccp is afraid of eminent domain)

i used to know the names of every largish city and there is something dispiriting about finding out about all of these places like shangrao with 5m people and i know nothing about them

my friend, when travelling in China, reported that when he talked to people on trains and asked where they were from he would regularly get replies like "oh a place called Haikou, you wouldn't have heard of it, only 2m people live there".

I always am way off with places I'm Australia.

agh bloody Canada just tricked me with a red phone box

kinder, Friday, 10 May 2013 20:42 (ten years ago) link

my rule is if it looks like texas but the middle line of the road is not yellow it's probably australia

caek, Friday, 10 May 2013 20:46 (ten years ago) link

i'm starting to get repeats, i was hoping these were procedurally generated somehow but it seems like there's just several dozen preset ones

ciderpress, Friday, 10 May 2013 20:53 (ten years ago) link

yep same with the Australia rule!
I've had the same bridge three times but no other repeats.

kinder, Friday, 10 May 2013 21:15 (ten years ago) link

I just got one that was totally inside a restaurant - no view of outside or anything :(
