Name That Skyline - Picture Game

Joplin
, Mo?

 

[pvpeacock]

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

 

[ThirstyPawsHB]

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.

 

[ThirstyPawsHB]

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?

 

[ThirstyPawsHB]

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.

Hearst Castle?

 

[pvpeacock]

Santa Cruz, California

 

[applescrap]

I have spent a lot of time in santa cruz, so I would be sad if that was it and I basically never looked up from the beach. I have also toured the Hearst Castle and I don't remember all that. I think the town the Hearst castle is in is San Simeon.

Eureka, ca

My son just started UCSC, so I have been there a few times in the last several months. I agree that it doesn't look like Santa Cruz, but the two churches look similar to those in downtown Santa Cruz and the hints make me think he is referring to the movie Lost Boys. We'll see.

 

[pvpeacock]

Couldn't help myself. It's not Santa Cruz.

 

[ThirstyPawsHB]

Ha! I ALMOSTED picked Santa Cruz! Lived in the area for many years...just like my CHOOSEN location. But the board walk would have been a dead give away. That's where "The Lost Boys" was filmed. The movie I'm hinting at was 1 in a series and a bit later then Lost Boys. SyFi...


Sorry Apple, not Eureka. Not sure what was filmed there neither.

I lived in Capitola, Felton, Boulder Creek as a kid. Then after college got a job in the semiconductor factory off Deleware. Factory was about 300yds away was the beach. Across the street was a Wrigley gum factory. We always knew when tuitti-fruity day was. UCSC has a nice Astronomy program.

Yeah, interesting sports team name. Go slugs sounds oxymoronic.

We were living in Ben Lomand when the 1989 World Series earthquake hit. Wonderful experience..highly recommended.

Haha I toured the school and still regret not going there!

Piano you sent me on a Sci-Fi Chase .... Land of the Lost?

 

[ThirstyPawsHB]

Funny city name!...Ha! It's a movie in a series. Maybe my math is wrong. 1st came out when I was a teenager. 3rd in my early 20s. I'm 50ish...

Tokyo

 

[MaxStout]

Small town, California. Looks like northern CA. Funny name...Weed, CA? At the moment I can't think of any other small towns around there.

Don't know the sci-fi movie reference, so that's not helping me.

 

[beermanpete]

Half Moon Bay?

 

[ThirstyPawsHB]

Weed! Ha. Not Half Moon niether. Ok, Sierra Mountians..more northern central..shouldn't have to spend a 'gigawatt' of brain power for this...

 

[arturo7]

Independence?

 

[ThirstyPawsHB]

Not Independence.

 

[arturo7]

Not Independence.

Didn't think so but it was the only Sierras movie reference I could think of.

"Hello Mcfly!" Indedependence???
