Guess the City

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)

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.

Thursday

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

Hole in one!

Blimey!

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.

Thursday II

Bologna

Definitely feels like Italy.

Ancona, maybe?

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

i want to go to there

Positano?

Màlaga?

Alternate view

Rijeka, Croatia

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

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

you're right tho, ledge:

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

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

just an inkling, South Africa?

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

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

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

Australia maybe, breastcrawl otm tho

Perth?

Not Perth.

Not Nottingham either.

Are those Cook Pines?

Honolulu?

Nope.

Darwin looks too tropical and abundantly vegetated so I'll guess one more Australian city and then abandon that country altogether- Adelaide?

No.

hmm a three phase star power distribution system on thin wooden poles ... just trying to sound clever because I don't know what the fuck else to say and am stumped!

can't make out the lettering on the back of that spare tyre on the vehicle because of the gate.

Somewhere that people with big houses feel the need to have big spiked gates outside.

that tree looks a bit drunk

four power cables = not north america: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Three-phase_electric_power#Three-wire_and_four-wire_circuits

please don't quote that post to me if it turns out to be north america

That’s a big sky, so somewhere at altitude?

This feels like South Africa to me also, but not got much more than that right now

I think this is Cape Town

Maybe somewhere in the Kenwyn suburb

Was just gonna post another pic but you got it! Everywhere I dropped a pin was ruler straight roads and bungaloids so I thought someone might recognise it.

I like how breastcrawl guessed the country then said how impossible it was to guess.

whoa! guess I have watched enough SA music videos by now to get a feel for the place

but how do you get from there to identifying a seemingly generic suburban street?

when cb mentioned Kenwyn I had a look at it and it very much had the vibe of the pic, but I was thrown by the Cook pines comment upthread. those trees do look like them (not that I’m an expert) and from what I could find they’re not really grown in SA. had just started investigating Auckland NZ.

do we have the exact location yet?

It's not Kenwyn but pretty close. I know we sometimes guess exact location but I wouldn't expect it here.

The narrowness of the street ruled out most other possibles, but it just felt like South Africa. And then if it was SA then Cape Town seemed the most likely. Had a look around and saw those trees wherever I looked, the four lines, the streetlights, the little verges all matched.

Kenywn had the right vibe, though I noticed the weather is different so could be an older streetview. Cape Town is extensively covered, didn't have any luck getting any closer to the actual street

Weekend at Cherry's

Point Pleasant

Googling “eldritch black isosceles sky triangle” didn’t get me anything
