Yeah, I found it... I had been at that same spot, but it didn't look quite right, mainly because the one bridge didn't look right until one heads up the river until it's really close

I guess I could claim it, but I need to find a picture to post afterward.So who’s up now? Not me…
The cars parked on the left really threw me at first....I seriously first thought it was Mortlake in London or somewhere along the Thames, but the bridges were wrong.
And I probably would have gotten it more quickly with this photo....
You really ought to overtly name it.I guess I could claim it, but I need to find a picture to post afterward.
As you do here. The first naming vs hinting.This one is Angers, France... Which is an interesting name.

On my mother's side the family tree goes back to those kings through Lady Joan Beaufort who married Sir Ralph de Neville. Joan Beaufort was a daughter of John of Gaunt, Earl of Lancaster, son of Edward III. The War of the Roses ends with her grandson, Richard III, being killed in battle with Henry Tudor, a relative, of course, in 1485. Henry Tudor becomes Henry VII and marries a York to reunite the family. In 1525 their son, Henry VIII, takes a header into a stream in a falconing accident and is pulled out by a footman, Edmond Moody, which gets my father's side of the family tree involved in the story.. . . most famous as the homes of the Angevins, or Plantagenets, who ruled England 1154-1485.
Yeah... Kind of what I thought was funny about it. About as non-fascinating of a place I've ever seen.That's the most non-descript street I've ever seen. It could be anywhere in the US. So, I'll guess Wichita, Kansas.
Not Springfield. Further west.I looked up and couldn't find any other USBank building as ugly as that one. No idea. It looks like somewhere generic.
Springfield?
Wait, how do you know where Springfield is?! Google says there are at least 34 Springfields in the US (one near me in VA), in addition to the notorious fictional one in the Simpsons, which is what I had in mind with my guess. At least I had a chance...Not Springfield. Further west.
I assumed you were at least making a pretty good guess with Springfield, IL... The capital of Illinois, and what I think of when someone mentions "Springfield."Wait, how do you know where Springfield is?!

It wasn’t me, but I’ll be happy to take credit. I just joined things up.Don't blame @dirkomatic, @Andres Falconer, you're the one who started the church & capitol thing>
Correct, was toying with a weird side angle of St Peters in the Vatican, but that seemed too obviously.Church and Capital. There we go. Reykjavik.
