Guess the North American city

Post by Circeus »

Felt a bit annoying that there was no North American "Guess the X", so I decided the best way to remedy that was to post one :P !

So there ya go to kick this off! (hint: it's located in front of a railway station)

Rules are a bit laxer than the European thread:
-Photo should be guessable (duh) by anybody who's visited the place enough or lived there for a while.
-Unless the landmark is exceedingly well known, let's put a 100,000 people in the metro area minimum cap for population (or we'll get into obscure places)
-Places in Mexico, Hawaii, Greenland, Puerto Rico, Bermuda and St-Pierre & Miquelon (good luck in respecting the other issues though) are fair game.

Yup. Your turn. I should probably have obscured the name, but I figured who knows when it would finally get guessed...

It wasn't the name; it was the station building, as it has been planned for inclusion in the Canadian Stations Set ...
... my turn ...
Anybody have a go ... I haven't got a picture, that I could upload legally ...

It's a beautiful building. Any reason why it was not? I was wondering myself it was going to be in a later version.

Personnally, I go dig on WikiMedia Commons :p If nobody posts something, I'll do it tomorrow.

I'd say it is New York due to some visual clues, like the hotels/motels names.

Yes! It is Reno, NV and the building is Silver Legacy Resort & Casino - the highest building in the city.
