ah cool. I got fixated on looking at New Orleans yesterday, and now I really want to go back

excellent, i looked at Charleston, Savannah and Norfolk. Easy to find old brick walls and big oak trees. Couldn't find the bridge in the background.

that's not my post, Wednesday, 18 August 2021 14:42 (two years ago) link

The bridge was the biggest clue. I tried searching for highway overpass pictures from different cities. The pillars on that one are fairly distinctive. When I saw a picture of that bridge in Jacksonville I knew I was close.

Weekend City


Is that a bus on the left? Very Mitteleuropean and sparkling clean to boot. Maybe a Baltic nation?

Tram surely?

looks really familiar, tempted to say Wroclaw but don't think they would have those trams.

Lublin has trams, looks a bit like Lublin but having a hard time finding good street views.

I guess Lublin has trolleycars, actually, but it does look like track on those cobblestones.

Color may be off in the picture but it looks like the tram has a green section of near street level. And a red and green stripe above window level.

overall that looks like austria to me. too nice for classically eastern europe.

a couple of roofs seem wrong to me for austria though: the green mansard (?) roof and the stepped gable on the yellow building, which i associate with the low countries, but wikipedia tells me can be found elsewhere https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stepped_gable.

Yeah I thought Netherlands maybe but now you mention Austria is possible but I’m struck by the lack of commercial signage or any signs at all.

All white people I'm still thinking former Eastern Bloc.

Bach on harmonica! (Boring, Maryland), Sunday, 22 August 2021 21:44 (two years ago) link

The colors on the tram suggest Hungary.

Bach on harmonica! (Boring, Maryland), Sunday, 22 August 2021 21:47 (two years ago) link

The colour of the trams reminds me of Augsburg in Bavaria.

I was gonna say the picture on the right is of Venice but maybe that's now irrelevant.

Back inside (alternate view)

Going to go a little early with the second image for this one

cherry blossom, Tuesday, 24 August 2021 11:54 (two years ago) link

Turkey seems possible. The interiors look a bit rustic to be actually inside the Maxx Royal which looks very posh.

..rpus in cyrillic on the bench there

koogs, Tuesday, 24 August 2021 14:48 (two years ago) link

The first picture looks like it might be inside a travel agency, so maybe the Maxx Royal plaque is indicating they have organized trips to that hotel.

..rpus in cyrillic on the bench there

and .orpus on the sign behind the woman, possibly korpus which is little help.

the ice skates feel like they might help too?

That SP&P logo is Stepanovski, Papakul & Partners - Minsk, Belarus : spplaw.by

en.remmers.com/en Remmers is a German building materials company that's active all over the place (not saying it IS Belarus, but they have a site for Belarus too)

missing belarus and korpus? so matching only ice and skating? thanks for that.

Google has long been that helpful

kinder, Tuesday, 24 August 2021 17:35 (two years ago) link

there's a culture center called Korpus in Minsk but I don't think there's a skating rink nearby - maybe they do winter activities near water sometimes?

StanM, Tuesday, 24 August 2021 17:39 (two years ago) link

You got it.

yay! thanks for actually finding it!

StanM, Tuesday, 24 August 2021 17:56 (two years ago) link

Correct! It is, of course, the Korpus Culture Center in Minsk

The first picture looks like it might be inside a travel agency, so maybe the Maxx Royal plaque is indicating they have organized trips to that hotel.

Also correct, its the Turberi travel agency, across the road from the Culture Center

Eastern European looking dudes with palm trees? This one's hard. Is it an album cover from a Gorbachev-era New Wave band?

Guayaquil (eephus!), Thursday, 26 August 2021 15:03 (two years ago) link

fascinating! no idea yet :)

Definitely looks one of those “Swagger of Oasis…” type band shoot.

Central America? South America? Southern Europe? (thinking there's too much green for that but not sure) - so... no real idea yet
