I checked dozens of Tescos in Slovakia, Poland, Czechia and Hungary for this on Friday, started doing Ireland and N Ireland as well (on Saturday, I guess), but didn’t follow thru. There’s only so many Tesco stations a person can take in in one lifetime. I finally got a handle on navigating Streetview in the process, so it wasn’t all for nothing

I'm still confused where the petrol station is

Where Old Belfast road meets Killeen Ave

Ah, google maps put it in a slightly different location and I couldn't find it

For a second I was like 'whoa is that a bear'

Is this one of the many cities with extensive streetview coverage in Mexico that got referenced during the Salta guesses?

I thought it was a cat

Possibly....

The blue stripe is pretty unusual.

I thought it was pokey the penguin.

It’s a pothole. I have cropped out the local councillor pointing at it.

Scampo di tutti i Scampi (ShariVari), Monday, 5 April 2021 20:14 (three years ago) link

Based on next to nothing - is it Leon?

nashwan, Monday, 5 April 2021 20:25 (three years ago) link

It is not Leon.

Scampo di tutti i Scampi (ShariVari), Monday, 5 April 2021 20:26 (three years ago) link

Ah got excited for a moment having clicked on a random street there (actualy after guessing Leon) and immediately seeing those same cubey trees and very similar buildings.

I'm going to guess San Juan, Puerto Rico. I have noticed they like painting hazard paint on the edge of their pavements there.

calzino, Monday, 5 April 2021 20:40 (three years ago) link

It’s not San Juan.

Well as I've got nothing else right now and a cursory search suggests some similarities and they're all incredibly dense to search I'm just gonna guess one that was mentioned - Mazatlan?

ignore the blue line (or something), Monday, 5 April 2021 21:26 (three years ago) link

Yes, it’s Mazatlan.

I couldn’t resist posting the one city that actually does have a big blue line down the middle of the road.

Scampo di tutti i Scampi (ShariVari), Monday, 5 April 2021 21:28 (three years ago) link

Haha I genuinely thought that was just the streetview line again. I got rewarded for laziness there, should really try and find the spot

i clicked around randomly and was suddenly confronted with a senor frog's lol

John Cooper of Christian rock band Skillet (map), Monday, 5 April 2021 21:53 (three years ago) link

Wait what I was joking, is that a real blue stripe?!

Canon in Deez (silby), Monday, 5 April 2021 22:56 (three years ago) link

Looks real!

I'm going to guess San Juan, Puerto Rico. I have noticed they like painting hazard paint on the edge of their pavements there.

This was my guess too, or at least it was until I couldn't find it (and the old town part there seems pretty small)

cherry blossom, Tuesday, 6 April 2021 05:21 (three years ago) link

It is real.

Mazatlan has a designated safe tourist route for cruise ship passengers, etc, marked in blue, that looks almost exactly like the street view thing.

Kansas City? I feel like i've seen that building before.

Scampo di tutti i Scampi (ShariVari), Thursday, 8 April 2021 09:59 (three years ago) link

Hole in one!

cherry blossom, Thursday, 8 April 2021 10:15 (three years ago) link

Blimey!

Madchen, Thursday, 8 April 2021 11:41 (three years ago) link

It's the Kansas City Convention Center. I think i must have been eyeballing a conference for work in 2010, which i ultimately didn't get to go to, and it has lodged in my mind.

Bologna

Duncan Disorderly (Tom D.), Thursday, 8 April 2021 12:35 (three years ago) link

Definitely feels like Italy.

Ancona, maybe?

Scampo di tutti i Scampi (ShariVari), Thursday, 8 April 2021 17:06 (three years ago) link

Not enough Fiat for Italy. There are a few Seat so I'm thinking Spain.

Dinsdale, Thursday, 8 April 2021 18:33 (three years ago) link

i want to go to there

John Cooper of Christian rock band Skillet (map), Thursday, 8 April 2021 18:34 (three years ago) link

Positano?

Guayaquil (eephus!), Thursday, 8 April 2021 18:46 (three years ago) link

Màlaga?

Rijeka, Croatia

I don't feel good about it though (googled 'princess fitness centar')

Computers I can live with, I even dried them in the oven (ledge), Friday, 9 April 2021 15:48 (three years ago) link

That "Fitness Centar" spelling seems to be typical of the Balkans.

o. nate, Friday, 9 April 2021 15:50 (three years ago) link

Ah thats my fault, I put the wrong image up. Basic error

cherry blossom, Friday, 9 April 2021 16:03 (three years ago) link

So annoying I usually take care to make sure that isn't possible!

cherry blossom, Friday, 9 April 2021 16:05 (three years ago) link

just an inkling, South Africa?

(but seriously, how does one identify a street like that, somewhere on this globe?)

Surely they meant 'Fitness Centaur', which is a legit great name for a gym.
