Guess the City

A new one for this afternoon:

https://i.postimg.cc/9fzhs9ck/City.png

that looks like india, let's say chennai?

It’s not Chennai.

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

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).

Lol otm

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

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.

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

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

This is what I see on streetview. No line

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

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

Xp

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

@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?

Not Manila.

Saying its probably south-east Asia isn't much of a revelation, beyond that my radar is pretty weak on this one. The city I'm thinking of first doesn't seem to be covered much by streetview so I'll wander around it some before putting it in as a guess

I'm not searching the whole image! (Which wouldn't work anyway). I don't see anything wrong with using creative google-fu.

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

I mocked up the logo (screen cap was too blurry) and after getting nowhere with google found some other engines, yandex got the gold star.

So that Argentina one screwed with my head because I read the "P" in Paseo as the Cyrillic letter "che" but I should have realized that the letter in the picture was reversed.

Yangon?

Correct!

I didn't realise when i put the picture up but if you just google "Pullman" "a timeless experience" you get some guy's 2015 review of the Yangon hotel as the first result.

I thought Mandalay but not with any real reason, then I noticed not much streetview coverage but didn't find it (because it wasn't Mandalay)

Well played ledge. Anyone mind if I post another now we've got a nice pace going?

fuuuuuck i searched a bit after you saying pullman was interesting but didn't look for myanmar cause the pullmann hotel site i ended up on did not mention any hotels in that country.
well done ledge and also i'm in awe at you recreating the logo to search for it!

go for it or something

I missed the pullman hint! After getting the lotteria logo I worked out the no motorbikes sign was definitely Myanmar, searching "'a timeless experience' Myanmar" on Yandex my new favourite search engine got a page for a Yangon luxury condo with that tagline. No way I can find that specific streetview location though!

man that is tough, not much to go on. the car at the far end of the road seems to be driving on the left. i don't know why but it makes me think of new zealand, even though i've never set foot anywhere near there

Looks sooooo much like a place I know, in Chico, CA, but since it seems that place isn't on streetview, my theory collapses.

is it a police car?

the trees and the the curbs look like USA to me but the blue line on the street does not. Trying to make something of the grey box on the sidewalk in front of the streetlamp.

Ignore the blue line!

I was thinking US too but the blue line has a more Andean feel, possibly northern Argentina

Ignore the blue line!

Lol

Also, looks like the word "Google" is faintly stenciled on the fence, maybe a Google facility?

I've tried 2019 Google St, 2019 Google Ave, 2019 Google Rd, and 2019 Google Blvd but no dice

Weird, its showing up for me

Salta?

SORRY

Most of Colorado Blvd in Pasadena has a blue line on each side of the street indicating the do-not-cross point for viewing the Rose Parade. It's even roughly the same distance from the curb as the current pic. There's also a pink line down the center of the street that the float drivers use to steer, since they usually can't see out the front windows.

Ok perhaps I made this one a bit too hard

great, only 600 Tesco petrol stations in the UK

I think I see Alan Partridge there.

Yellow, white and blue lines?

i'm just going to guess west hampfordshire

Is that a Travel Tavern next to it?

I'm confused...are these last two images the same place?

Yep. I liked the first pic because of the misdirection but figured we'd have been here for months if I didn't post another

I thought the pavement might have been a giveaway in that first pic but maybe that sort of pavement is more common than I realised
