Guess the City 100

Guess the city...

NOTE TO MODERATOR: I did a test post first and now I can't get the image to show here directly... hopefully this link will work...?

Mud Princess · Jul 28, 2003

Here's another one.

DecaturHawk · Jul 29, 2003

The first pic looks kind of like the Milwaukee riverfront, and the building in the second pic has the ubiquitous cream-colored stone, so Milwaukee is my guess.

Chet · Jul 29, 2003

Definitly not Milwaukee, sorry Decaturhawk.

I would guess Cleveland.

Cardinal · Jul 29, 2003

It looks a bit hilly, which takes most large Upper Midwest cities out of the picture. How about Columbus?

Mud Princess · Jul 29, 2003

Not Milwaukee.
Not Cleveland.
Not Columbus.

'Nother try...

Michael S. is right, looks hilly, probably a Mississippi river town. How about:

Rock Island?
Quincy?
Alton?

JNA · Jul 29, 2003

on a river or lake?
lake shores have bluffs= hills

tsc · Jul 29, 2003

it almost looks like Oswego NY,,,

BKM · Jul 29, 2003

I am going to guess Manchester, NH. Looks like a classic New England mill building.

I would have thought Ohio River Valley.

Tranplanner · Jul 29, 2003

I'm going out on a limb and saying San Antonio...

Mud Princess · Jul 29, 2003

None of the above! OK, here's a hint. One of you DID get the right state, at least.

Cardinal · Jul 29, 2003

Toledo?

Seabishop · Jul 30, 2003

Plattsburgh, NY?

BKM · Jul 30, 2003

Laconia. NH?

Nashua NH?

It looks like a northeastern mill town.

DecaturHawk · Jul 30, 2003

OK, Mud Princess says that one of the guesses had the right state. So, the choices are: Wisconsin, Ohio, Illinois, New York, New Hampshire, and Texas. The style of the buildings just doesn't say Texas, so it must be in a northern clime. The look of the waterfront and the size of the boats indicate a decent sized body of water. The hills rising quickly up from the water indicate a river town. The nature of the buildings also indicate that the river at one time was (or still is) a working, industrial style river, so it must have been (or still is) a larger, more navigable stream. So, I'm gonna try Ohio River town; how about Portsmouth OH or Steubenville OH?

JNA · Jul 30, 2003

I sure it not Portsmouth, OH
their downtown is protected by a concrete levee wall
worth looking at as a great example of a community art project.

Massena, NY?
Or maybe Lockport, NY?

RealistPlnr · Jul 31, 2003

Rochester, New York???

michaelskis · Jul 31, 2003

I think that I might be off, but I have two guesses

Green Bay WI or
Sturgein Bay WII think that I might be off, but I have two guesses

Green Bay WI or
Sturgeon Bay WI

That could be the bay of Green Bay off Lake Michigan. It is surrounded by bluffs, and that building looks like it could be a Boat Plant.

Cardinal · Aug 1, 2003

You are going to have to give us another hint.

Mud Princess · Aug 1, 2003

Sorry for the delayed response - just returned from out of town - I'll look for another photo and/or hint...

ALBinDC · Aug 1, 2003

Troy, NY

Mud Princess · Aug 1, 2003

You beat me to it. I was going to find some more pictures.

ALBinDC, you win.

Your turn.
