Scranton?
― pomenitul, Saturday, 6 February 2021 20:59 (three years ago) link
eesh not much to go on there. Ireland was my initial thought too
― cherry blossom, Saturday, 6 February 2021 21:23 (three years ago) link
I was about to say, that looks like Ireland.

It isn't Scranton.

Sorry, dumb joke.

Sorry, not very good at recognising jokes, dumb or otherwise.

Cambridge
― calzino, Saturday, 6 February 2021 21:44 (three years ago) link
It is! Are you familiar with that particular road?
― Bastard Lakes (Camaraderie at Arms Length), Saturday, 6 February 2021 21:56 (three years ago) link
no sorry I'm a dirty rotten cheat who used search google for image, my first guess was Salisbury!
― calzino, Saturday, 6 February 2021 22:06 (three years ago) link
I assumed Calzino had been shown the road out of Cambrige many times.
― Waterloo Subset (Tom D.), Saturday, 6 February 2021 22:07 (three years ago) link
some people do say I'm a total punt!
― calzino, Saturday, 6 February 2021 22:08 (three years ago) link
well Fen Road is not at all "the road out of Cambridge" - it's a mile-long cul-de-sac behind Cambridge North Station, ending in a steep bank at the side of the A14. It's where the local Irish Travelers live, so interesting that everyone was saying Ireland. Here's the spot - https://goo.gl/maps/v5LrRrrbRurABkDt5

it looks very flat to this hillbilly who lives high up enough to often see the weather coming a good twenty mins before it arrives. The bungalow does look quite Irish but they like painting them in bolder colours from my memory of annual tours there thirty odd years ago.
― calzino, Saturday, 6 February 2021 22:26 (three years ago) link
Everywhere is flat round here. I'm from Herefordshire where everywhere is the side of a hill.
― Bastard Lakes (Camaraderie at Arms Length), Saturday, 6 February 2021 22:31 (three years ago) link
yeah the flat plains of much of the south is something I've never really took to much. Being able to watch birds flying from an above vantage and the way going down a hill sometimes takes you to spots where you are insulated from most noise pollution and the silence is quite a sensory treat, well apart from the odd tractor or the odd reversing alarm on a farmer's forklift.

Looks like rich bits of New York I've seen in films.

good faces on those construction vehicles

Philadelphia?
― 𝔠𝔞𝔢𝔨 (caek), Sunday, 7 February 2021 18:40 (three years ago) link
Not Philly.

just a shot in the dark: washington dc.
― Joses Chrust (map), Monday, 8 February 2021 15:45 (three years ago) link
I have spent a lot of time in DC-Baltimore-Philly and these solid streetfronts don't look to me like those solid streetfronts (in particular the iron on the windows doesn't look right to me)
― Guayaquil (eephus!), Monday, 8 February 2021 16:29 (three years ago) link
The tile-work(?) is not something you find in Philly, except for ten years in California, I've been living here or returning here for nearly forty years, never seen anything like those.

idk looks like france to me
― plax (ico), Monday, 8 February 2021 17:20 (three years ago) link
i was going to say: reminds me of France

flat roofs, residential street is far too wide for a pre-automobile city. not europe IMO.
― 𝔠𝔞𝔢𝔨 (caek), Monday, 8 February 2021 17:27 (three years ago) link
hmm i'm zooming in and now i'm not so sure. it's not a residential street for one thing.
buildings suspiciously low rise for europe but ... maybe?
this is a good one.

having spent the last three years taking my son to construction sites, i will say: the construction vehicles do not look north american.
― 𝔠𝔞𝔢𝔨 (caek), Monday, 8 February 2021 17:30 (three years ago) link
Maybe it's Canada! I really do think the white-collonade face of that long brick building looks New England, and so do the trees, but the construction stuff reads to me as French, that's where I'm getting Canada.
― Guayaquil (eephus!), Monday, 8 February 2021 18:12 (three years ago) link
trees bare & no snow though
― Joses Chrust (map), Monday, 8 February 2021 18:28 (three years ago) link
The tile work on the stairs at left seem very unAmerican.

Bordeaux?

hmm. amsterdam?

i would have guessed maybe somewhere in provence but less glitzy than arles or aix
― plax (ico), Monday, 8 February 2021 19:22 (three years ago) link
im just seeing it as a blvd 'in the style of hausman' with a town hall at the end. i mean it could just as easily be latvia idk
― plax (ico), Monday, 8 February 2021 19:23 (three years ago) link
it does feel kinda Northern European, I think
― StanM, Monday, 8 February 2021 19:27 (three years ago) link
Could it be Goteborg?
― The return of our beloved potatoes (the table is the table), Monday, 8 February 2021 19:37 (three years ago) link
surely to fuck this is europe not north america.

Tiles make me think Portugal and I've thought Lisbon a couple of times recently but it hasn't been but maybe this is? So, Lisbon?

I think the key may lie in finding out which country/city is apt to space out those cubic orange/white channelizing barricades in such a manner.

The green truck seems to have a word on the front -- looks like MACNYE to me but I'm not getting any hits for that
― Guayaquil (eephus!), Monday, 8 February 2021 19:55 (three years ago) link
that's what I was thinking. the Blue on white tile and then the orange-roofed building in the distance made me think "southern Sweden" for some reason.
― The return of our beloved potatoes (the table is the table), Monday, 8 February 2021 19:56 (three years ago) link
Or somewhere in Denmark, maybe? Northern Europe seems like the best bet so far.
