First instinct is Europe, maybe France? Looking for a French city with an estuary, Le Havre seems like it could fit, similar architecture. Can't find that spot yet tho

Pretty sure they have those in Normandy at least.

it's not Montreal, and I don't think there's another option for a place as dense as that
something about the architecture / roofs looks not North American to me

Iโm pretty sure itโs Perth now.

Is it Dnipro, Ukraine? I can't find the exact view from that angle, but some bridges and buildings look very suggestive of being in the right place.
― o. nate, Tuesday, 16 March 2021 20:44 (three years ago) link
i've tried the mid-atlantic seaboard in the u.s. and some baltic cities. can't find anything that looks that bright / new lol. feel like it's gotta be a somewhat major shipping port (river adjacent to large body of water?) with those bridges.
xp!

xp, but ima post anyway.Not anywhere in the US, I don't see a single billboard or any large advertisement sign, which would be very unusual in that much city.

Dnipro for sure, this is the red-with-white-stripes building in the bottom right corner:https://goo.gl/maps/wjNfp9u6tZod9EDw9

Much of it was built up after the fall, unlike some other cities, but also worth mentioning that like Cracow in Poland, a certain amount of the pre-war city remained because it was occupied by the Nazis relatively briefly...and they also thought it was very beautiful. So much of Cracow's centrum remains relatively intact. It's odd.

Ha amazing. I was sure I could see the Matagarup bridge and then there was another bridge in about the right place and on the map there was a stadium in about the right location... which I didnโt check, looks nothing like the one in the pic. Good Dnipro-finding.
― Tim, Tuesday, 16 March 2021 21:58 (three years ago) link
The bridge in the foreground doesn't appear to have clearance for freighters, but definitely can accommodate river barges.

There didn't seem to be enough cities on rivers in Canada, so I thought to try Russia and Eastern Europe. Started with Kiev moved south. Luckily found Dnipro pretty quick.

Original view here.
The pictured Dnipro arena was too small for use in Euro 2012.
In 2015 Dnipro Dnipropetrovsk (as they were then known) knocked out Olympiacos, Ajax, Brugge, and Napoli before losing to to Sevilla in the Europa League final. They had to play their European home games in Kyiv due to the conflict in Eastern Ukraine (even though the city itself isn't really affected?). They then when bust in 2019, but there is now a successor club, SC Dnipro-1

TIL that uK cities that are not London have started doing red routes / urban clearways/ double red lines.

I think Wakefield might be the only UK city with street name signs in white lettering on black. Couldn't see any in the pic but there are still some up the road from me from pre boundary changes.

This is a good one because it looks like there would be loads of clues, but they all seem to lead to nothing, I even started googling where Ratpack and Baby D have appeared on the same bill, the answer is "many places"

I think it looks like London too but the double red lines suggest red routes and there arenโt many of those, at least not looking like that. But the brick certainly looks like London stock.
