the mixture of small cars (especially VWs) and a pickup truck certainly feels like mexico or s.america to me

wherever it is, it's on the drier side.

juarez?

Mexicali?

John Cooper of Christian rock band Skillet (map), Tuesday, 30 March 2021 22:31 (three years ago) link

I thought Mexicali, but it doesn't look dry enough to me.

o. nate, Tuesday, 30 March 2021 22:42 (three years ago) link

Not Juarez, not Mexicali

or something, Tuesday, 30 March 2021 22:45 (three years ago) link

Nottingham.

One thing I've learned is that Mexico has a very large number of small to medium-sized cities that are extensively mapped on Google Streetview. This may or may not be relevant to the picture in question.

Was thinking somewhere in Montenegro but can't find anything from maps.

I'm getting Greek vibes. Thessaloniki?

I’m leaning more towards Brazil again. The blue line is puzzling.

Scampo di tutti i Scampi (ShariVari), Wednesday, 31 March 2021 11:01 (three years ago) link

The blue line is just the streetview route

or something, Wednesday, 31 March 2021 11:06 (three years ago) link

Aha!

Scampo di tutti i Scampi (ShariVari), Wednesday, 31 March 2021 11:07 (three years ago) link

Is that ocean on the left of this view?

I like Brazil for all three images but not if thats the ocean

I'm away to look up coca-cola franchises in the entirety of Latin and South America, I'll have your answer in a week.

Duncan Disorderly (Tom D.), Wednesday, 31 March 2021 12:14 (three years ago) link

It's not the ocean

or something, Wednesday, 31 March 2021 12:15 (three years ago) link

probably more fruitful to try to identify that blue and white bus (not that I’ve had any luck with it so far)

Monterrey?

it's like edging for your mind (the table is the table), Wednesday, 31 March 2021 16:54 (three years ago) link

No. Another pic or a clue?

or something, Wednesday, 31 March 2021 18:38 (three years ago) link

Another pic would be good.

in Bulgaria?

the Crimea?

In on the killfile (Boring, Maryland), Wednesday, 31 March 2021 19:38 (three years ago) link

I'll give a clue as well. Nobody has guessed the right country yet

or something, Wednesday, 31 March 2021 19:40 (three years ago) link

united states?

《Myst1kOblivi0n》 (jim in vancouver), Wednesday, 31 March 2021 19:47 (three years ago) link

although that sign at the side of the road in the most recent picture looks unfamiliar to me

《Myst1kOblivi0n》 (jim in vancouver), Wednesday, 31 March 2021 19:48 (three years ago) link

what is the big sign on the store? pasco?

treeship., Wednesday, 31 March 2021 20:17 (three years ago) link

you’d think, but then you’d think it would be findable, which... no

Blick, Bils & Blinky • Let's Skip The Shaker Intros (breastcrawl), Wednesday, 31 March 2021 20:21 (three years ago) link

lol I have also looked at a lot of stores in Pasco, Washington

rob, Wednesday, 31 March 2021 20:22 (three years ago) link

yeah I've been scrolling through page after page of Pasco logos without success. weird.

joni mitchell jarre (anagram), Wednesday, 31 March 2021 20:22 (three years ago) link

Ha ha, I googled P6830.

nickn, Wednesday, 31 March 2021 20:31 (three years ago) link

I’ve helpfully made a list of incorrect countries:

Denmark
UK
Kosova
Montenegro
Bulgaria
Greece
Mexico
Ukraine (Crimea)
Brazil
Chile
Japan

US hasn’t officially been ruled out yet

Blick, Bils & Blinky • Let's Skip The Shaker Intros (breastcrawl), Wednesday, 31 March 2021 20:34 (three years ago) link

If you want me to rule out the US I can rule out the US

or something, Wednesday, 31 March 2021 20:39 (three years ago) link

it's definitely interesting to have something not be figured out within 5 minutes for once

otoh im starting to find this maddening - although i've only ever guessed about 2 correctly ever

《Myst1kOblivi0n》 (jim in vancouver), Wednesday, 31 March 2021 22:58 (three years ago) link

quetzaltenango

《Myst1kOblivi0n》 (jim in vancouver), Wednesday, 31 March 2021 23:05 (three years ago) link

The sign on the right is impossible to fully decipher but it looks like a muster or meeting point with a three word phrase with 'di' or 'de' in the middle, google translate gives punto de reuniĂłn in spanish which looks like a good fit but could be italian or portuguese or similar.

think you might be right, but once again, as to finding this particular version of the sign...

Blick, Bils & Blinky • Let's Skip The Shaker Intros (breastcrawl), Thursday, 1 April 2021 09:33 (three years ago) link

Trying to decipher the street name that has been obscured in the first pic. The last two letters of the first word look like "da" and the first letter of the second word is "A", if that's any help. Don't think it's "Avenue", though, but I could be wrong.

joni mitchell jarre (anagram), Thursday, 1 April 2021 09:36 (three years ago) link

Feeling irrationally angry towards Pasco and their unsearchable logo.

Computers I can live with, I even dried them in the oven (ledge), Thursday, 1 April 2021 09:58 (three years ago) link

Its definitely a good one (or four)

cherry blossom, Thursday, 1 April 2021 09:59 (three years ago) link

Praise be!

Duncan Disorderly (Tom D.), Thursday, 1 April 2021 10:02 (three years ago) link

Paseo! Fuck, should have tried that. Well done, how did you get it?

Computers I can live with, I even dried them in the oven (ledge), Thursday, 1 April 2021 10:07 (three years ago) link

Had a feeling that last pic would reveal all eventually. Well done Jibe

or something, Thursday, 1 April 2021 10:09 (three years ago) link

once it became clear it could have been a spanish speaking country, i figured that pasco logo might actually be paseo. started searching for paseo centro comercial, ended up on paseo libertad's website and saw the same logo as that pic and then i looked on gmaps for paseo supermarkets in argentina

Jibe, Thursday, 1 April 2021 10:10 (three years ago) link

nice work

Damn, never even heard of Salta. I'd checked Cordoba (which didn't look too bad for it) and Mendoza but that was as close as I got

cherry blossom, Thursday, 1 April 2021 10:26 (three years ago) link

There were some really wild guesses on this thread!
