Is that Walgreens? (not that that would help much, they have like 9,000 stores in the US)

StanM, Monday, 18 October 2021 14:06 (two years ago) link

Yes, Walgreens are everywhere in the US. It seems like maybe in this pic we're on the bridge/viaduct shown in the background of the first pic? Trying to work out whether that's train tracks in the far right hand side of this pic, which would possibly be passing under the bridge.

looks a lot like philadelphia tbh

I think I've looked at all the Walgreens in Philadelphia and nothing with a viaduct + a big house with turrets seems to be jumping out at me

StanM, Monday, 18 October 2021 17:31 (two years ago) link

My wife just walked in and looked at the picture and told me it was in Union City. Actually Weehawken, I guess. Apparently we've driven past it multiple times, which I didn't recall.

I guess its near the ramp that we take to get on 495 heading west, but since I'm usually driving I've never noticed that library with the turrets before.

o. nate, Tuesday, 19 October 2021 15:08 (two years ago) link

OH SHIT! I totally recognize that now, but it's been years and years since I was a passenger on that stretch.

holy crap! Well done mrs o. nate!

I bet we would have gotten it a lot faster if this had been the angle

Yes, Weehawken Public Library, such a familiar view to anyone who's driven or got the bus out that way!

Thursday

I daresay there are a million places in the UK that might look just like it but it strongly reminds me of oxford.

namaste darkness my old friend (ledge), Thursday, 21 October 2021 14:16 (two years ago) link

that looks a lot like Oxford to me

xpost!

Critique of the Goth Programme (Neil S), Thursday, 21 October 2021 14:17 (two years ago) link

specifically the area around Cowley Road across to Headington Hill

Critique of the Goth Programme (Neil S), Thursday, 21 October 2021 14:17 (two years ago) link

Also quite like some parts of grandpont/hinksey but nowhere i can place specifically.

namaste darkness my old friend (ledge), Thursday, 21 October 2021 14:24 (two years ago) link

yeah Donnington Bridge and Iffley Road below Rose Hill and Iffley Village

Critique of the Goth Programme (Neil S), Thursday, 21 October 2021 14:27 (two years ago) link

The road runs NW/SE...

namaste darkness my old friend (ledge), Thursday, 21 October 2021 14:29 (two years ago) link

First building on left is either a students' halls of residence or a halfway house or something along those lines. Then the second building has a bizarre window, what is that?

edited to reflect developments which occurred (Camaraderie at Arms Length), Thursday, 21 October 2021 14:30 (two years ago) link

... is there a clue in the picture that we're missing? Is this kind of one way road super exceptional, maybe? Not getting any further than "could be anywhere in Britain" for now

StanM, Friday, 22 October 2021 09:44 (two years ago) link

The road runs NW/SE...

sorry that was garbage, more like N/S

We're right by the shark house!

nice one!

StanM, Friday, 22 October 2021 11:12 (two years ago) link

Or look left! The shark's reflection is in the window

Sladoled Umbrella (cherry blossom), Friday, 22 October 2021 11:15 (two years ago) link

Very solid work upthread at getting Oxford without even needing that though!

Sladoled Umbrella (cherry blossom), Friday, 22 October 2021 11:18 (two years ago) link

I did grow up there, curious that it's so distinctive though - here's the street that it first reminded me of, a couple of miles over the other side of town, obv the OAP looking accommodation and gated driveway on the left is a coincidence but v similar two storey terraces: https://goo.gl/maps/qzt5Vso68Kt1vH5NA

namaste darkness my old friend (ledge), Friday, 22 October 2021 11:24 (two years ago) link

my folks live up the road in Littlemore

Critique of the Goth Programme (Neil S), Friday, 22 October 2021 11:26 (two years ago) link

OMG the reflection in the window! damn

StanM, Friday, 22 October 2021 12:29 (two years ago) link

oh no i did look at that briefly but didn't think 'hmm maybe it's a shark'... if i'd been thinking of north instead of south oxford i might have done!

Close but no cigar at Guess the Day of the Week it seems

Sladoled Umbrella (cherry blossom), Wednesday, 27 October 2021 09:30 (two years ago) link

ha!

Chicks and Ducks and Geese better scurry (Ste), Wednesday, 27 October 2021 10:47 (two years ago) link

Not a lot to work on here. Body of water far left could be a lake, river or harbour - I'm thinking the latter as there's some industrial type construction that could be part of a port facility. White building far left and building with light green facade centre left look European to me. Wild guess with not much to back it up would be somewhere in Italy

Zelda Zonk, Wednesday, 27 October 2021 10:49 (two years ago) link

Strange tower far right is pretty mystifying

Zelda Zonk, Wednesday, 27 October 2021 10:51 (two years ago) link

Reminds me of the road up from Peschiera del Garda up the east coast of Lake Garda

Agnes, Agatha, Germaine and Jack (Willl), Wednesday, 27 October 2021 10:58 (two years ago) link

looks like a shipping control tower, for the port at left maybe?

Lighthouse, harbour, got nothing.

StanM, Thursday, 28 October 2021 14:57 (two years ago) link

feels too flat for Norway & not flat enough for the rest of Scandinavia (although... maybe)

StanM, Thursday, 28 October 2021 15:21 (two years ago) link

why the fuck does google maps suddenly move back to my location whenever I search anything - GRRRRRRRRRRR

StanM, Thursday, 28 October 2021 15:25 (two years ago) link

Are we back in Russia? Defo northern hemisphere and don't think it's anywhere in North America

ignore the blue line (or something), Thursday, 28 October 2021 16:52 (two years ago) link

Googled striped black and white road barrier and got a bunch of stock pics that look pretty similar but frustratingly no location mentioned, although they're copyrighted to a photographer with a Russian name

Zelda Zonk, Friday, 29 October 2021 08:38 (two years ago) link

that guard rail is pretty distinctive - not a sideways W shape like most

StanM, Friday, 29 October 2021 08:53 (two years ago) link

the first pic has a yellow/black striped tower/chimney thing - oil refinery?
