Popular Post LaoFan Posted March 28 Popular Post Posted March 28 Play this game with a group of friends as we travel. We take a picture of the city we're in and everybody guesses. Rules are: if you've lived in the country, you can't answer. 5
Popular Post TacoSauce Posted March 28 Popular Post Posted March 28 Notable features: A Bay -- suggesting a coastal city Several palm trees -- suggesting a tropical latitude Smaller non-SUV cars with wide license plates -- suggesting not the USA Green and maintained grass -- suggesting a location that gets a reasonable amount of rain An impressive bridge span -- suggesting a newer city in a country with both the $$ and brains to build (e.g. not the USA) That's as far as I get. 6
JohnS Posted March 28 Posted March 28 That photo looks very similar to the last scene of the 2009 Clint Eastwood film, "Gran Torino". In the film, Clint's character, Walt Kowalski leaves his cherished Gran Torino to his neighbour, Thao and we see him driving the car along Jefferson Ave in Detroit, Michigan. 1 1

benfica_77 Posted March 29 Posted March 29 This reminds me of those guys playing geoguesser on YouTube which I love watching. I'm gonna say Seattle? It would be warm enough for a palm tree. 1
tbelle7 Posted March 29 Posted March 29 That appears to be the Coronado Bridge in....San Diego. Great idea for a thread though. 3 1

I think I could guess pics from anywhere along SD’s coastline. I can't believe out of all cities and pics its this one. How cool. Born and raised ❤️ 2 1
rascalmonkey Posted March 29 Posted March 29 Was in San Diego for a conference last November + decided all I would eat the entire weekend was fish tacos So many great spots - but fish guts in barrio logan was my favorite! +++ super cool neighborhood! https://www.yelp.com/biz/fish-guts-san-diego?osq=Fish+Tacos 1 1
Habanoschris Posted March 29 Posted March 29 Funny, but one of my best memories about San Diego was a great little burrito joint - this was in like 1999 though lol. 1

Habanoschris Posted March 29 Posted March 29 I had no idea it was San Diego. Guessing is the name of the game. 🤣
Habanoschris Posted March 29 Posted March 29 Presidente👌 (sorry to confuse the thread-very enjoyable cigar) 3
