No. Another pic or a clue?

Another pic would be good.

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

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 reunión in spanish which looks like a good fit but could be italian or portuguese or similar.

Computers I can live with, I even dried them in the oven (ledge), Thursday, 1 April 2021 09:04 (three years ago) link

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

Sven Vath's scary carpet (Neil S), Thursday, 1 April 2021 10:14 (three years ago) link

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!

cherry blossom, Thursday, 1 April 2021 10:27 (three years ago) link

The two mountains in the back window of the bus suggested it was somewhere high altitude but i was was miles away. I've never been to that part of Argentina.

Scampo di tutti i Scampi (ShariVari), Thursday, 1 April 2021 10:49 (three years ago) link

I've never been to any part of Argentina.

Duncan Disorderly (Tom D.), Thursday, 1 April 2021 11:06 (three years ago) link

So whats the story with the blue line? Google is adding it when you do directions? Were you doing a route?

cherry blossom, Thursday, 1 April 2021 11:26 (three years ago) link

It's just there when I drop down into streetview, shows where coverage is available. I assume it's there for everybody. Maybe others have a different method for finding pics?

or something, Thursday, 1 April 2021 12:04 (three years ago) link

A new one for this afternoon:

Scampo di tutti i Scampi (ShariVari), Thursday, 1 April 2021 12:10 (three years ago) link

that looks like india, let's say chennai?

Jibe, Thursday, 1 April 2021 12:24 (three years ago) link

It’s not Chennai.

Scampo di tutti i Scampi (ShariVari), Thursday, 1 April 2021 12:25 (three years ago) link

Agree it looks like India with the English advertising and "A Timeless Experience"... could be Taj Mahal? So, Agra?

or something, Thursday, 1 April 2021 13:02 (three years ago) link

actually it's prob not india as the cars are on the right side of the road... i've started looking at accra as ghana seems to be a right hand side driving, english speaking country... and there's a pullmann hotel soon to be built with the tagline "a timeless experience" (tho tbf i'm pretty sure one in two luxury building in construction has that tagline).

Jibe, Thursday, 1 April 2021 13:05 (three years ago) link

Lol otm

or something, Thursday, 1 April 2021 13:13 (three years ago) link

It's not Accra but the Pullman angle is interesting...

Scampo di tutti i Scampi (ShariVari), Thursday, 1 April 2021 13:29 (three years ago) link

I've found the fast food company and it narrows it down to... seven countries in east asia :(

Also google reverse image search sucks balls.

Computers I can live with, I even dried them in the oven (ledge), Thursday, 1 April 2021 13:33 (three years ago) link

Good, it's cheating! Do we not have some sort of unwritten rule on using that? Kind of undermines the whole thing

or something, Thursday, 1 April 2021 13:51 (three years ago) link

― or something

This is what I see on streetview. No line

cherry blossom, Thursday, 1 April 2021 13:51 (three years ago) link

so what’s the company, if I may be so bold to ask?

Blick, Bils & Blinky • Let's Skip The Shaker Intros (breastcrawl), Thursday, 1 April 2021 13:53 (three years ago) link

Are you on a PC cherry blossom? I see the line on my phone and tablet, they're all I use

or something, Thursday, 1 April 2021 13:55 (three years ago) link

Xp

or something, Thursday, 1 April 2021 13:55 (three years ago) link

Ah that explains it maybe, I'm on a macbook

cherry blossom, Thursday, 1 April 2021 13:56 (three years ago) link

@ledge: how'd you find that fast food co, i gave up trying

based on rhd + east asia + there being quite a few billboards up in english based on a quick street view ... manila?

Jibe, Thursday, 1 April 2021 14:00 (three years ago) link

Not Manila.
