Guess the City 100

[Mud Princess]

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]

Here's another one.

 

[DecaturHawk]

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]

Definitly not Milwaukee, sorry Decaturhawk.

I would guess Cleveland.

 

[Cardinal]

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

 

[Mud Princess]

Not Milwaukee.
Not Cleveland.
Not Columbus.

 

[DecaturHawk]

'Nother try...

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

Rock Island?
Quincy?
Alton?

 

[JNA]

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

 

[tsc]

it almost looks like Oswego NY,,,

 

[BKM]

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

I would have thought Ohio River Valley.

 

[Tranplanner]

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

 

[Mud Princess]

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

 

[Cardinal]

Toledo?

 

[Seabishop]

Plattsburgh, NY?

 

[BKM]

Laconia. NH?

Nashua NH?

It looks like a northeastern mill town.

 

[DecaturHawk]

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]

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.

[steveanne]

Massena, NY?
Or maybe Lockport, NY?

 

[RealistPlnr]

Rochester, New York???

 

[michaelskis]

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]

You are going to have to give us another hint.

 

[Mud Princess]

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

 

[ALBinDC]

Troy, NY

 

[Mud Princess]

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

ALBinDC, you win. Your turn.
