Guess the City

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

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

it looks weirdly like a specific place in Majorca i've been to but i guess not

I had the same kinda feeling re Funchal, for some reason, incl i-guess-not.

The first pic I thought slightly resembled some fancy-ass hotel I stayed in Peru but the 2nd pic def feels more Euro.

Looks more like Pingu. Where do they have penguins? Argentina? Chile?

which country has a penguin in a red hard hat?

Wales

I can't tell if it is a type I or type II hard hat, need that 3d photo historic-future tech that Deckard has at hand in Blade Runner to sort this out.

he could be a puffin tbf

Googling "penguin in a red hard hat" proved surprisingly popular in that there's a Disney game called Club Penguin where a red hard hat appears to be a prize but that's as far as I got. It seems to have been popular everywhere and I'm too tired to try and narrow it down right now, way past bed time

*Proved surprisingly fruitful even, told you I was tired

Mistah Club Penguin, he dead

I've lost my reading glasses for closely looking at stuff and I'm overdue an eye-test by 2 years but I think now it might be a woolly hat rather that a hard hat.

looks like a coil of red poop to me

I think the inscrutability of this one possibly points to sub-tropical China, but also lazily guessed because Cam has lived there.

I "love" how this was first posted as "easy one"...

I thought the penguin was wearing a Devo energy dome (but I'm working off of limited sleep tbqh)

is it in DEVOn?

I'm getting more of a South American vibe off this one, at first glance

The guy in front of the little green truck thing, I don't see anyone in Europe wearing that hat

Yes, definite South American vibe.
