Correct,

The text in the image says "Adelaide Police Station". Understandable that Matt only wanted to hint at knowing this, rather than revealing any direct experiential knowledge

there's another layer of palimpsest under the police sign, what looks like a roundel near the start of "station". it predates the earliest google picture though.

We were right that those trees are jacarandas.

just based on the temporary construction and the "TOGETHER" : a covid vaccination center somewhere? (the one here in Mechelen, Belgium had a big "HERE WE REGAIN OUR FREEDOM" motivational banner and the Pfizer plant in Puurs, BE has a "SCIENCE WILL WIN" banner btw) (but what are the round things on the wall? overhead pics of cappuccino?)

StanM, Friday, 17 December 2021 13:29 (two years ago) link

Yellow circles on the left look like they might have an eagle on them
The O of together has a castle in it?
Patio heater has an oval logo on the sticker, looks like US politics to me
The door is tied back with something printed, the right hand one maybe ends DAS or OAS
Logo above the stair rail looks like military or emergency services

"we're all in this together" is an NHS thing isn't it?

Yeah but they would use the correct font.

I tell you whose font that is though, and that's Leicester City football club who also play in blue.

Long enough attention span for a Stephen Bissette blu-ray extra (aldo), Friday, 17 December 2021 18:19 (two years ago) link

I thought maybe it was a "W" in the O of "TOGETHER", and the colors remind me of the University of Washington logo, but can't find any spot quite like it there.

o. nate, Friday, 17 December 2021 18:54 (two years ago) link

I thought it was an N first, and a W would work for the same logic, but I think it might be more abstract which is why I said a castle.

Long enough attention span for a Stephen Bissette blu-ray extra (aldo), Friday, 17 December 2021 18:57 (two years ago) link

Below the T and O, is that a picture of a mascot?

Long enough attention span for a Stephen Bissette blu-ray extra (aldo), Friday, 17 December 2021 18:58 (two years ago) link

that thing on the right side of the white panel in the middle of picture looks like the NBA logo

Dinsdale, Friday, 17 December 2021 19:23 (two years ago) link

fuck, left side

Dinsdale, Friday, 17 December 2021 19:23 (two years ago) link

i think the logos on the wall are the same as the one in the O. and i thought N but W might be closer.

koogs, Friday, 17 December 2021 19:51 (two years ago) link

> is that a picture of a mascot?

a cartoon bird on the tv inside?

koogs, Friday, 17 December 2021 19:57 (two years ago) link

I don't know how temporary this corridor is - at first I thought: very, but then... that pipe top left, they cut out part of the blue wall for that - it's no longer something that can be just deconstructed & used elsewhere now

(in short: we still don't have a clue :-) )

StanM, Saturday, 18 December 2021 09:37 (two years ago) link

something like... a hospital being rebuilt = this corridor is a semi-permanent construction that will be used for several years?

StanM, Saturday, 18 December 2021 09:39 (two years ago) link

The big heaters make me think people aren't passing through the corridor quickly, they'd be in a slow line. I also thought vaccination center, but there would probably be markers on the floor for 6 foot distancing.

Hideous Lump, Saturday, 18 December 2021 09:59 (two years ago) link

Looks like a sports or convention center facility. The flag/banner below the "TO" looks like the Pittsburg Penguins mascot, maybe this is an adjacent gym?

nickn, Saturday, 18 December 2021 19:31 (two years ago) link

- I don't know what we're looking at there but I don't see a penguin in that?
- Aldo said: "The door is tied back with something printed, the right hand one maybe ends DAS or OAS" - I think I see a CAOU.. or CHOU.. ?

StanM, Sunday, 19 December 2021 19:21 (two years ago) link

the blue doors in the distance - yeah, they feel like something you could have at a big convention center or sports arena indeed

StanM, Sunday, 19 December 2021 19:22 (two years ago) link

... I don't think we'll get it with this one pic, to be honest.

wow.

Nedlene Grendel as Basenji Holmo (map), Monday, 20 December 2021 16:37 (two years ago) link

Good effort. I can see the trident of the W in the O now I've seen the logo.

Long enough attention span for a Stephen Bissette blu-ray extra (aldo), Monday, 20 December 2021 16:40 (two years ago) link

the penguin is not a penguin

koogs, Monday, 20 December 2021 16:44 (two years ago) link

wow indeed!

I had actually been looking at sports stadiums in San Diego because I thought I had a colour match but without luck.

Long enough attention span for a Stephen Bissette blu-ray extra (aldo), Monday, 20 December 2021 18:20 (two years ago) link

The penguin is not what it seems.

nickn, Monday, 20 December 2021 20:09 (two years ago) link

omg! well done :-)

StanM, Monday, 20 December 2021 20:21 (two years ago) link

This is the Penguins I saw, the eyes seem to be there, thought the real mascot has a wider beak.

Nicely taken. Got. off to a good start then the trail seemed to go cold as confidence waned, until tomorrow came on in the second half and smashed it in from distance at first time of asking, nae doubt about that one

Not sure why I'm thinking this looks British?

StanM, Friday, 24 December 2021 14:29 (two years ago) link

That looks like a number of atations on the Merseyrail network

there's only 67 stations :-/

It's not the first one i thought it might be

Which is St Michael's, so that narrows it down a bit

ignore the blue line (or something), Friday, 24 December 2021 15:17 (two years ago) link

And i think Merseyrail colouring is generally yellow rather than blue
