Guess the City 141: Mobius Strip Edition

B-)

Guess the city:

Is anybody else getting a McDonalds #2659887549 vibe here?

I was thinking the same thing at first, but upon looking at the photos a little closer I noticed that the landscaping more closely resembled the McDonald's #2659887538 across the street.

Is there some "Kunstler" twist to this GTC?

 

[H]

well it is not Knoxville, TN becuase there the Mac's roofs are Volunteer Orange. So I will go with Evansville, IN. Why? Why not. :-D

Could be anywhere, as I am sure that is the point.

If I'm interpreting this correctly, you are suggesting that these pictures are the typology of the American auto-suburban landscape, so my answer is:

Any Suburban City, USA

Here's another happy happy:

 

[The Irish One]

I'm hungry.

GOT it, I stopped at that McDonalds in Springfield.

 

[Zoning Goddess]

The fat guy with the camera screams tourist-town, but I don't think I've seen any pink-roofed McDonalds around here.

Define what constitutes a "Mobius Strip Edition" of GTC.

It can't be MACkinaw City, Michigan because they closed the MACdonalds there.
You can still cross the Big MAC Bridge to St. Ignace and buy a MAC on the Upper Peninsula side of the Straits of MACkinac.

Interestingly I've seen that exact picture before with that guy and the Ronald McDonald from a specific city, but I can't remember from where.

Although I don't think the point of this GTC is to actually establish a city.

Its somewhere in Arkansas, next to that Wal-mart

Yeah, I was thinking about starting a Guess the City: Tragedy of the Commons Edition and posting a bunch of Wal-Mart pictures. Apologies to Garrett Hardin. But Wal-Mart has been discussed ad infinitum around here, so I'm sure there'd be a bunch of yawns anyway. Thinking about the Tragedy of the Commons, however, may make for an intersting thread in the Economic Development forum, sans the typical Wal-Mart bashing.

This Mobius Strip concept interested me yesterday, but I think most folks get it - the number of McDonald's in the world is practically never-ending.

Anyone want to discuss development predictability patterns in terms of Schroedinger's Cat as applied to relatively non-restrictive and liberal zoning ordinances?

Can't be Upper Peninsula, it has an out door play area. They could only use it two months of the year...
