3700 Wilson Avenue, Walden, Tennessee

You Are The Man! how did you find it?

edit: scrolling back, looking... @Newsman you didn't know what city after all this?

 

[DBhomebrew]

For the record, I guessed Signal Mountain and Walden. Whatever. @Andres Falconer, let's move onto something for interesting, eh?

I'm thinking of a number between 1 & 100...

edit: scrolling back, looking... @Newsman you didn't know what city after all this?

I'd trained a visual identification tool to pattern match the top-down profile of the porch and two attic windows on Google Maps. Once Newsman gave the area, I shifted location from right on the border to the east of Lookout Mountain and found it after an hour or so of deep image processing.

For more details on the technique, see Trained a Neural Net

And I'd give Newsman the benefit of the doubt, when you're driving for Uber/Lyft, the boundaries between places get very, very blurred and this one is close to the southern boundary of Walden near to Signal Mountain.

i was wondering how the FBI would find it!

 

[bracconiere]

Can i get a hint?

edit: and i'll let the regulars go back to usual game, i just jumped in on this one because it seemed like a cinch, address, and nearby major city known! and it turned out to take an hour of computer AI time!

 

[pvpeacock]

Wait, the rules at the start of the thread specifically say that you are not allowed to train a visual identification tool to pattern match the top-down profile of the skyline photo posted!


Just kidding.

I did know the city, but not the street
Also, Walden is only technically a separate city/town

 

[Rodent]

@Andres Falconer - your ticker still ticking? we've all been on edge awaiting your post of the next location since Wednesday evening.

 

[Andres Falconer]

Huh? I posted Signal Mountain then noticed @DBhomebrew had already mentioned it and promptly forgot about it. For some reason, I haven’t been getting post notifications, so I just saw this. Sorry! Back to you in moments. Need to regroup. Bridges? Lighthouses? Mountains? Random nondescript houses?

 

[Andres Falconer]

Have I posted this one before? It was on my short list for one of the recent themes (mountains and lakes), but I can’t remember if I actually put it up. Is there an easy way to search one’s own comments in long threads?

Here it is:

 

[Andres Falconer]

FWIW, the photo is mine, taken in 2015, and follows one of my more or less frequent themes, if you dig back.

Quick narrowing-down question before Google-Earth-flying, Alaska?
