Bingo!

Where is this?

Here are your levels of difficulty.

Easy: What's the city?
Medium: From what address was this picture taken?
Medium-Hard: From what floor is this picture taken?

You may want to consult the larger view, or just enjoy it.

Well, it's Wilmington DE.

I'll dig some more.

Did you see Obama at the Charcoal Pit?

Looks like the 12 floor of

Or maybe the 11th floor.

glatt · 07-20-2014, 06:55 PM

Yeah, I'm going with 11th floor.

Undertoad · 07-20-2014, 09:23 PM

Correct and well done sir!

I will never cease to be amazed with glatt's ability in this game.

Here's how bad I am at geography: I saw an article yesterday about military movements on an Israel beach, and my first thought was, "Waithangonasecond Israel has a beach?" It's like my brain doesn't even try to remember maps, fuck 'em, it's not like they're real...

In this case he has identified J's old condo-style apartment, where she is no longer going to be living after this weekend. We watched many interesting sunsets, but sunsets are not worth the high rent. Especially when the neighborhood wasn't really completely revitalized, after they built these two tall residences. There were still shootings down the block and at one point J's car got broken into.

Thanks for the props, but geography knowledge had nothing to do with it. I just Googled the neon sign and used Street View to plop myself down in that spot. Then looked in the direction of where the picture had to be taken from to identify the building.

Then I looked at the photo to see the one car you can see, and I put myself in that car's spot with Street View. Notice how the car is lined up with the edge of the roof staircase access, and is also lined up with the gates on the street? I put myself in the spot of that car and looked back along those same sight lines. The high resolution version of the image was very helpful.

You would be a dangerous stalker sir, props.

I was going to ask a HARD level of difficulty question which was: which month is it in this picture?

You can identify the location, so you can identify the direction of the sun at its setting horizon.
