Guess the City

Having some trouble but I'm 90% sure it's the River Walk district of "The Biggest Little City In The World".

(thx to Cherry Blossom for the gimme lol)

my pin was not exact (it was one park entrance over), this is the correct one:

Yeah, I was gonna say Reno NV.

The Silver Legacy* is pretty distinctive. I think it's the tallest building in Nevada?

*map: "the terraced skyscraper in the bg"

Supposedly Peter Jackson used it for inspo for Minas Morgul:

those tall buildings with setbacks in a low density city were the giveaway that it was north america

lmao

reno sucks ass ftr

i would rather go to stoke on trent than reno

That's easy to say for someone who's never been to stoke-on-trent

I was in Reno a year or so ago.. the gaming scene is definitely dying, killed off by California Indian casinos I imagine. There are empty ghost hotels, but you can still get the prime rib dinner (with beverage) for $8.99 at CalNeva.

Reno still has charm if you are uninterested in gaming:

Lots of access to the backside of the Sierras (although a friend lost his leg a couple years back after an extremely terrible climbing fall), pretty amazing hot springs that are off the internet grid, uh... that's all I got.

Oh, delicious (and CHEAP) Basque food within <1 hour drive.

not to be pedantic but these sound like they are all.... not in reno

and the less-than-an-hour-away basque food

i wouldn't die on the hill of reno sucking ass but i would take a scratch or two

My grandad died on the hill of reno, sucking ass

it's unbearably hot then quite cold. dry as a bone. no culture. car city. everyone's a libertarian. sky is darkened by wildfire smoke an increasing amount of days per year. it's true you can drive an hour or more to get somewhere nicer i guess.

Its a similar story with Stoke on Trent and its branches of Card Factory, most (but perhaps crucially not all!) appear to be in adjacent areas, though opinions are fairly divided on what counts as Stoke on Trent proper, and what is just another shade of gray

Ok, "easy one"

Reno has great pawn shops, and a short drive to Virginia City which is pretty fun and has one of the best pioneer cemeteries anywhere.

i've been to stoke on trent and reno. neither is great tbh.

I have also been to both, Reno just shades it for me, but on the other hand Stoke on Trent is easier to leave

Johnny Cash never shot a man in Stoke on Trent just to watch him die

Tony Pulis was in charge at the time, Cash was rarely able to leave his own half, was never even in shooting range

he was too busy getting his ass sucked by darraghmac’s grandad

xp

and another xp

lol deleted my Pulis ref after getting xp'ed!

Norwich?

Ok, "easy one"

Nothing on the radar yet. If I get one I usually have a sense as a starting point and then close in from there, but I got nothing so far!

well I've managed to rule out Finland and Iceland because their No Entry signs use a yellow stripe on red and Greece because they use a shorter white stripe!

Could be Spain? But I'd be surprised if another pick wasn't needed here

Bit early for another pic!

My first though was Italy. And I'm going to hazard a guess theres a decent sized drop to a wider valley below

I was thinking Greece too

(dunno, something to do with the trees)

Arles?

Malibu

might be time for an alternative view

Ok, here you go then

Looks vaguely Czech... but also LHD so I don't think so.

LHD or a one-way street?

it looks a bit like my fave childhood Czech mole, Krtek, on the roundabout at first glance.

...unless those are one way streets?

i see snowflake decorations in summer, think it's south america or australia tbh
