Name That Skyline - Picture Game

[pvpeacock]

Calgary?

 

[MaxStout]

Calgary?

Nicely played. Calgary, it is. Your turn.

 

[HarborTownBrewing]

Dang that was a good one

 

[pvpeacock]

Wow, wild guess as I’ve only been there twice. I will post a photo when I get home

 

[pvpeacock]

Here you go. Should be fairly easy for anyone familiar with this area.

 

[MaxStout]

Flat terrain. Looks like a medium-sized city, based on skyscrapers and the compact downtown. Architecture makes me think US or Canada. Lots of fall color, maybe New England.

Springfield, MA?

 

[applescrap]

I feel Canada but not sure where

 

[arturo7]

damn that's a tiny pic

 

[pvpeacock]

if you click on the picture, it should enlarge. No, not Springfield, MA.

 

[jack13]

if you click on the picture, it should enlarge. No, not Springfield, MA.

Springfield in another state?

 

[pvpeacock]

Not Springfield in any state, country, continent, hemisphere, planet or other heavenly body.

 

[pvpeacock]

Hint: U.S.

 

[beermanpete]

Albuquerque?

 

[pvpeacock]

No mountains, too many trees for Albuquerque.

 

[leftcontact]

So many flat roofs have me thinking a bit further south tho the trees do scream New England. But it’s so *flat*... which you don’t get much of in NE. Charlottsville va?

 

[pvpeacock]

Not Charlottsville, VA or Virginia

 

[MaxStout]

Dayton, OH?

 

[pvpeacock]

Not Ohio

 

[applescrap]

Albany but smaller

 

[MaxStout]

This is a very good picture. Really a challenge.

Probably midwest. Not thinking New England anymore, terrain is too flat. Houses with chimneys, deciduous trees, fall colors. Not deep south. Maybe around the Ohio valley or in Missouri or Michigan. Definitely not any city in Iowa, NE, WI, MN, KS, IL--been to all those in recent years. Nothing in the Dakotas has buildings that tall. pvpeacock said in US but not VA or OH. Strangest looking downtown I've seen, all packed into a few blocks. I don't see any rivers or lakes, though that could be behind the camera. Most river towns have their downtown areas right up to the river, so not Memphis, Louisville, etc.

I'll take a WAG and say Ft Wayne, IN

 

[pvpeacock]

Midwest is correct Max. But not Ft. Wayne, IN. You're getting closer though

 

[MaxStout]

Maybe this is not an urban downtown. I'm starting to think this is more likely a suburban cluster of hotels, condos, office towers, etc. We have a few of those in Twin Cities 'burbs. So maybe this is a Chicago suburb. Schaumburg, IL?

 

[pvpeacock]

You're getting warmer Max, but not Illinois.

 

[MaxStout]

I think I know where it is--at least the metro area. But I'm going to sit back and let someone else play for a while.

 

[applescrap]

Ok I'll try

I got nada

Morgantown pa

 

[pvpeacock]

Not PA. Hint: this was the scene of significant riots a few years ago.

 

[leftcontact]

Sure as hack ain’t Baltimore. Milwaukee?

 

[beermanpete]

Ferguson, MO?

 

[pvpeacock]

MO is correct, but not Ferguson. Guess again

 

[GnenieGone]

Wikipedia list of US Civil Unrest only shows Ferguson in Mo.

 

[GnenieGone]

Joplin
, Mo?

 

[pvpeacock]

Not Joplin. The riots here were related to Ferguson, but this is not Ferguson.

 

[GnenieGone]

Clayton, Mo!

 

[triethylborane]

Clayton, Mo!

Went to wash u for two years then transferred out. Crazy how clayton has grown in the last 15 years, I64 was completely rebuilt.

 

[GnenieGone]

I'm just going to go...

With internet at your disposal here's a toughie but clues will give it away especially for the older +45 generation who enjoy SyFi movies. That's enough for now...

West Coast State. Small city <5000, at last census.

For the record I didn't use photo searching but researched the Furguson incident when Clayton popped up as the county seat. Googling Clayton immediately showed your picture. I think it's more fun to research clues. Pretty much if you Google this city it'll pop up with this picture. Good Luck!

 

[pvpeacock]

Bingo! I lived in Clayton for 4 months back in 2007. Nice light rail system straight to Busch Stadium and downtown St Louis. Plano you’re up.

 

[leftcontact]

West coast state. Syfy movies. Lotsa woods. Twin Peaks, OR?

 

[GnenieGone]

Ok, first guess! Not Oregon. Get the time frame down with the hints. SyFi movie was popular big screen, big names.

Hint 2: California....watched the series as a teenager.

 

[MHBT]

I am an idiot, i did not read the rules disregard this, im disqualified

 

[beermanpete]

Hearst Castle?
