(there's a yellow bus in the background of second pic and googling yellow buses had bournemouth as the first hit. BRO = bournemouth?)

koogs, Friday, 11 June 2021 17:31 (two years ago) link

I was wondering about the bus and Christchurch but I guess they probably share

cherry blossom, Friday, 11 June 2021 17:38 (two years ago) link

apparently BRO = Bridge Of Orchy station (in Argyll, SCO) & doesn't look like it's it

that building on the left is probably the big clue here, is that W a well-known logo in Britland?

That's an IMO car wash. There are 269 of them in the UK apparently.

i don't know if that was deliberate but making me click through ALL the storageking locations and have it be the very last one was mean.

koogs, Friday, 11 June 2021 20:07 (two years ago) link

wow!

StanM, Friday, 11 June 2021 20:11 (two years ago) link

Well done Koogs, no of course that was not deliberate!

storageking helpfully had images of the stores right there on the individual pages and a 'view on map' link. and most of them were just giant sheds on industrial estates.

now to find the railway bridge...

Haha I just lurk on this thread bit when I saw photo #3 I was going to drop in "that weirdly reminds me of Worcester but you all think it's in other parts of the country so I trust you".

Well *I* know who he is (aldo), Friday, 11 June 2021 22:42 (two years ago) link

it's the street I grew up on. Nobody thinks Worcester looks like this, people just know the nice bits.

my bit of tolly is much nicer, but it's still tolly

I was looking at a lot of brick walls in Birmingham, so at least I wasn't too far away.

Nobody really seemed to have any real idea which part of the country it was in though, "Close to a station" was the only real consensus!

Big collective failure over not looking for the second row of three letters

I couldn't make them out - I somehow thought it was ENG OVV where it's actually BRB OWW :(

back to work

cherry blossom, Monday, 14 June 2021 08:11 (two years ago) link

I see what looks like a US flag. Perhaps we are in Florida.

nashwan, Monday, 14 June 2021 08:54 (two years ago) link

only one flag though

StanM, Monday, 14 June 2021 09:44 (two years ago) link

couldn't work out what the big pink penis was there for a moment

kinder, Monday, 14 June 2021 11:24 (two years ago) link

oh, two flags - anyway, yeah, Florida doesn't sound wrong - palm trees, pastel colors, holiday home type buildings - what does that concrete block say? K STREET ?

StanM, Monday, 14 June 2021 13:02 (two years ago) link

It’s going to turn out to be somewhere like Okinawa.

Scampo di tutti i Scampi (ShariVari), Monday, 14 June 2021 13:05 (two years ago) link

all the plants are green and there's a Christmas tree in the yellow house - Southern hemisphere? (or is it that hot in Floriday at Christmas time?)

StanM, Monday, 14 June 2021 13:05 (two years ago) link

xpost yes! it also feels Japanese - no overhead power cables though

StanM, Monday, 14 June 2021 13:08 (two years ago) link

I didn't actually notice the flag outside the yellow house but taking the two together that's surely a US flag. Both Miami and Tampa seem to use blue recycle bins.

nashwan, Monday, 14 June 2021 13:32 (two years ago) link

looks dry for Florida imo, I'd guess California or even Arizona

the presence of multiple pedestrians might rule out AZ though

trap door to hell opens underneath (rob), Monday, 14 June 2021 13:38 (two years ago) link

it looks like a desert climate and fairly densely populated. somewhere in LA?

treeship., Monday, 14 June 2021 14:13 (two years ago) link

Id guess Cali, too. Too many aquaphobic plants and xeroscaping to be Florida.

heyy nineteen, that's john belushi (the table is the table), Monday, 14 June 2021 14:17 (two years ago) link

looks like it could be tucson or san diego but the lack of sidewalks is kind of weird for most u.s. cities so idk, the us flag might be a red herring lol.

Linda and Jodie Rocco (map), Monday, 14 June 2021 14:33 (two years ago) link

i think it's too dry to be coastal cali though

Linda and Jodie Rocco (map), Monday, 14 June 2021 14:34 (two years ago) link

It's not San Bernardino or Merced, from my initial searching.

heyy nineteen, that's john belushi (the table is the table), Monday, 14 June 2021 16:26 (two years ago) link

The small lots and apartment building density suggests beach town to me. Beach towns can be dry.

nickn, Monday, 14 June 2021 16:33 (two years ago) link

Yeah, tbh it feels kind of like San Diego.

heyy nineteen, that's john belushi (the table is the table), Monday, 14 June 2021 16:44 (two years ago) link

yeah totally looks like The Strandway except without the red curbs

agreed this feels like coastal socal. probably very coastal (like within quarter of a mile of the ocean) given the density and pedestrian infrastructure and general beach vibe.

the low rise relatively dense vibe feels like hermosa or manhattan beach to me, but they have no k street.

the only coastal k street i can find in CA is in san diego, but it's way bigger than this one, unless this is an alley behind k street.

although there's something not quite right about those two vans in the distance that makes me think okinawa might be thinking more along the right lines.

π” π”žπ”’π”¨ (caek), Monday, 14 June 2021 18:00 (two years ago) link

also the absense of overhead cables + US flags makes no sense to me.

fwiw I thought that said "4th" street not K

trap door to hell opens underneath (rob), Monday, 14 June 2021 18:11 (two years ago) link

yeah I'm totally not sure about that K
