Guess the North American city

Yeah, I'm guessing a city in the Great Lakes area. Possibly on the Canadian side.

Is it St. Catharines, ON?

No.
Need more hints?

Circeus · Post by **Circeus** » 13 Apr 2009 16:35

No

Toledo, OH?

kettel · Post by **kettel** » 13 Apr 2009 17:30

Yes! It it's Toledo, OH

If I'd taken the time to actually compare the pictures, I'd have been more certain about it.

Now this one ought to be real tricky...

kettel · Post by **kettel** » 13 Apr 2009 22:08

I keep thinking it's Quebec city, but it wouldn't be that tricky. right?

Circeus · Post by **Circeus** » 14 Apr 2009 03:25

Besides, I already used it

kettel · Post by **kettel** » 14 Apr 2009 18:59

But it is Canada, isn't it?

Circeus · Post by **Circeus** » 14 Apr 2009 21:40

Yes

And I'll tell you that as far a spopulation goes, it'.s closer to Moncton than Toledo (hence the trickiness)

kettel · Post by **kettel** » 14 Apr 2009 21:46

Whew, I thought the trick was that the French sign would make me think it's Canada while it's not

Okay then, I'm off for another brainstorm session

EDIT: Done! It's Sherbrooke, Quebec.

Methink I should have cropped it out

Yup

FYI that huge church in the background is Saint-Michel Roman Cathedral.

Syracuse, NY?

kettel · Post by **kettel** » 16 Apr 2009 03:45

Nope.

Circeus · Post by **Circeus** » 16 Apr 2009 03:51

The way I read it it's a mid-size city in a relatively hilly region that goes through proper winders. The only areas I can think of that fit this description are all in the Northeastern US. I just hope I'm not misinterpreting the thing.

Rochester, NY?

kettel · Post by **kettel** » 16 Apr 2009 04:24

Yuo're absolutely right about the Northeast!
Rochester is not the city on the photo though.
Impress me, deduct the city the same way you did with the area

I dunno if I can do that. There's a river, but not a major one (i.e. it.'s not the Hudson at Albany), and it's on a major national or regional highway. There's a marina. And apparently at least section of street crossing at 45° to other streets. But those features don't really tell me much. ALso that building in the foreground likely dates from the 30s or 40s...

Is it Hartford, CT?

kettel · Post by **kettel** » 16 Apr 2009 06:45

Well I don't expect you to, I'm just saying it would be cool.

And no, it's not Hartford

Circeus · Post by **Circeus** » 16 Apr 2009 14:56

For some reason I wanna say Pittsburgh, PA...

kettel · Post by **kettel** » 16 Apr 2009 15:29

The reason probably is that it actually is Pittsburgh, PA

The skyscraper on the front is Gulf Building.
