Guess the City

just a shot in the dark: washington dc.

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)

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

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.

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.

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.

trees bare & no snow though

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

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

it does feel kinda Northern European, I think

Could it be Goteborg?

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

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.

Or somewhere in Denmark, maybe? Northern Europe seems like the best bet so far.

Bunch of very dark haired people in the photo.

But the sand/dried mud on the roads seems more chalky Mediterranean, that's why I thought Bordeaux but what do I know

It looks very reminiscent of Tartu, Estonia.

I thought the roller vehicle said something like MACHTENS but I may be forcing it to be dutch

or maybe it's Argentina

The buildings are the wrong height for France. Need one more story for provincial villes. Also I’ve never seen tiles like that here.

Nother vote here for europe, baltic maybe

Agree that it doesn't look like France, does look like Europe. But not necessarily Northern Europe? Tiles look Iberian to me, although it's pretty flat for Portugal so maybe Spain? Or a colonial Spanish city in South America? The barricades seem not like something you'd see in a wealthy country...

can't think of a pic on this thread that has prompted a wider geographic range of good guesses

Trees look a bit Latin city boulevard too

Yeah, a little "warm!" or "colder!" would be of help right now.

There's a slow-moving vehicle sign on that steam-roller, which I believe are unique to North America. It looks like Charleston SC or something, something old and Southern

I'm going to guess Ulaanbaatar

something old and Southern

I mean New Orleans was the first thing I thought of when I saw those wrought iron minibalconies but I can't convince myself this is someplace that warm

Yeah, no magnolia trees

Wait, is this a Left Hand Traffic country?

I was wondering too... but there are not traffic signs to judge by, and the road equipment could be traveling in either direction

The car braking at the end of the street appears to be LHT.

I said Lisbon upthread and I'm pretty sure I've found it? More trees but looks right

I say more trees, I mean more foliage. cherry blossom's pic obvs winter

Looks right

Yep, well played.

I wondered if the tall building behind the trees was a church, yet it's flanked on both sides by those barn-colored apartments, which made me pause. But it is indeed a church. Good work!

I've visited a grand total of 12 countries and 3 of them have come up here recently, it can't last

you people
