Guess the City 1

[Dan]

My challenge to the geeks here in Cyburbia. What city is this?

 

[Chet]

Is it Philly?

 

[Jeff]

Atlanta

 

[Dan]

Not Philly, not Atlanta.

 

[donk]

syracuse?

 

[Dan]

Not Syracuse.

A clue. It's a city known for its high crime rate.

 

[PlannerGirl]

N'wlins

 

[Chet]

Detroit?

Uning the rules from "What's in my pocket"

Is it located in the northeast?

 

[Chet]

Is it south of the mason-dixon line?

 

[Repo Man]

Is it the capitol of the state in which it is located?

 

[Dan]

Is it south of the mason-dixon line?

Yes.

 

[Dan]

Is it the capitol of the state in which it is located?

Yes.

 

[Dan]

Not Detroit. Not in the Northeast.

Not New Orleans, either.

 

[BKM]

city guess

Baton Rouge?

 

[Glomer]

Is it in the midwest and does it start with an M?

 

[Chet]

Nashville?

 

[BKM]

nashville.

I'm thinking it IS Nashville. The condo tower at the very far right of the photo reminds me of a building I saw last year. Nashville is also the only really "big" southern State capital that I can think of.
The downtown is about as ugly as Nashville's, too.

 

[Chet]

well, let's see...

 

[BKM]

Nashville.

Didn't mean to rag on Nashville. Its just one of those cities that should somehow be better. I was disappointed last year how little improved in a real way the downtown area was-even after the Clinton era pseudo-boom.

I like Knoxville, better (lived there two years). More interesting character.

Still, to the topic at hand, it looks like the photo is taken from the interstate (I-40) that runs through the center of town. If it would have caught that mondo-bizarro SBC building, I would have been sure.

Dan, the suspense is killing us (and interfering with my work)

 

[Dan]

Not Nashville. Further south. Much further south.

 

[BKM]

Montogmery

Could it be MONTGOMERY? Didn't think Montgomery was this big. Pretty gritty, though.

 

[NHPlanner]

Tallahassee?

 

[Dan]

Not either. Further south.

 

[Chet]

Austin?

 

[Glomer]

San Juan

 

[Dan]

San Juan

Further south.

Here's another clue.

 

[BKM]

Bogota

BOGOTA!!!

Resign, mayors and elected officials, or you will be casualties of war!- FARC

 

[Chet]

Is this in North America?

 

[Dan]

Re: Bogota

BOGOTA!!!

WRONG!!!

 

[Dan]

Is this in North America?

Nope.

 

[Chet]

South America?

 

[NHPlanner]

Last guess before I go home...

Buenos Aires

which by the post below is wrong...so I give up.

Have a great weekend everyone!

 

[Dan]

South America?

Nope!

 

[BKM]

Sao Paulo

Sao Paulo? It is capital of its Brazillian state, and local merchants hire the police to "remove" troublesome street kids.

Its goptta be Sao Paulo-Cyburbia just posted a story on helicopter commuting.

 

[BKM]

Mexico City

Ciudad de Mexico

 

[Dan]

Re: Sao Paulo

Sao Paulo? It is capital of its Brazillian state, and local merchants hire the police to "remove" troublesome street kids.

You mean here?

Nope.

 

[BKM]

It (the first picture) just looks North American. How about Panama City?

 

[Glomer]

Is it in Africa?

Is it in Europe?

 

[Chet]

Is it east of the Atlantic Ocean?

 

[Glomer]

San Salvador

 

[Dan]

One more clue.

 

[Dan]

Is it east of the Atlantic Ocean?

Yup.

 

[BKM]

Johannesburg

 

[Dan]

Johannesburg

Give that man a South African car theft deterrent! We have ourselves a winner.

 

[BKM]

I'd heard that half those towers in downtown are vacant, because the crime rate has led all of the businesses to decamp for Sandton and the other posh northern suburbs of Jo'burg?
