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.

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

I think this is one of the petrol stations thats next to one of the big supermarkets, maybe
Feeling possibly somewhere in Wales

It looks just like the Tesco petrol station in Milton, probably looks just like a hundred others too.

The roofs of the houses look quite distinctive - like a nod to local vernacular architecture, but I canβt think of where.
― Scampo di tutti i Scampi (ShariVari), Friday, 2 April 2021 15:52 (three years ago) link
Iβm going to say Hereford.
― Scampo di tutti i Scampi (ShariVari), Friday, 2 April 2021 16:10 (three years ago) link
The petrol station in Tesco's Hereford faces the store in that aspect - the kiosk backs on to the roundabout.
Also, for future reference, if there's a dual carriageway in the picture it's not Hereford.

Not Hereford

the houses look like they might be big enough to be flats, which makes me think it's a biggish city.

I think its a Tesco Extra. They seem to have slightly different designs from the other ones though I don't know what significance is

yeah there's something fishy about those houses.
old guy seems to be walking to the right hand side though, which suggest left hand drive.

Thought the houses might be student accommodation

There are also Tescos in Hungary, Slovakia and the Czech Republic.

Aren't those uk national lottery signs, at the end of the blue line?

It does look like the seaside. I feel like I've been there!
― Duncan Disorderly (Tom D.), Saturday, 3 April 2021 09:34 (three years ago) link
I had that feeling as well! I walked that part of the coast a couple of years back and swear I walked up that street. There's probably a name for that. (Senility? Hiraeth?)
― Vanishing Point (Chinaski), Saturday, 3 April 2021 09:52 (three years ago) link
getting more Plymouth vibes than Torquay if it is a coastal city, even though I've only ever seen it from a train! I checked a few Plymouth Tesco petrol stations and couldn't find a match for the one above.
― calzino, Saturday, 3 April 2021 10:51 (three years ago) link
Neither of those

Looks a lot like the Mumbles but not finding anything similar on street view

Was thinking Ireland, so GISed ferris wheel Ireland, looking for the blue stanchions.

If you move forward in streetview that wheel disappears, guess it's not permanent. Thought I'd leave it in to make things easier after three days of increasingly sparse responses tho
