Guess the City 84: Championship Edition

[Dan]

Hop to it, crew. You've now got your work cut out for you.

 

[Dan]

Another image.

 

[Wannaplan?]

Hmmm... this one is tough. Two wild guesses: Schenectady, NY, or Dayton, OH. I'm probaly way off, but what the heck, eh?

 

[Dan]

Schenectady, NY, or Dayton, OH.

Way off, Alan. Sorry ...

 

[West Side Rider]

Elmira, NY?

 

[Dan]

Elmira, NY?

Nope.

 

[LouisvilleSlugger]

I might be way off..Madison, WI?

 

[Dan]

I might be way off..Madison, WI?

Yup ... way off.

 

[West Side Rider]

Yonkers, NY?

 

[Greenescapist]

Roanoke, VA?

 

[Dan]

Not Yonkers. Not Roanoke.

 

[Greenescapist]

All right, I'll try one more: Peoria, IL!

 

[Cardinal]

I might be way off..Madison, WI?

That would have been way too easy. It does have a Midwestern look, though. Rochester, MN?

 

[SouthSideSlayer]

BUFFALO

 

[Dan]

Not Peoria; their skyline is more modern. Not Rochester, Minnesota. Definitely not Buffalo.

Here's a hint ... it's in North America.

 

[BKM]

Somewhere in the Quad Cities (Moline/Rock Island/Davenport)

Somewhere in the Quad Cities (Moline/Rock Island/Davenport)

It't not one of the Quads. Not even Bittendorf.

 

[The Irish One]

Victoria, BC, Canada -ehh

 

[Chet]

There's quite a bit of topography in the distant background. I doubt its midwest. Im thinking lower appalachia....

I was thinking that it looks like a piedmont topography. But most of the "known" cities in that region are significantly larger than this one appears to be.

 

[Mud Princess]

Troy, New York?

 

[Dan]

Not Victoria. Not Troy.

 

[The Irish One]

Buffalo

 

[Greenescapist]

last guess: Winston-Salem, NC

 

[Cardinal]

Funnything is, its vaguely familiar, only I just can't place it. Before that third clue I would have guessed Thunder Bay or Sault Ste. Marie, but I think now it has to be east. How about St. John's?

 

[nerudite]

Welcome to downtown Utica, NY...

You could see this clock in the photo, from the gold dome of the Utica bank building.

 

[Dan]

Brilliant deduction ... Nerudite got it! A city hardly anyone sees - Utica, New York.

Her prize ... a cold six-pack of Utica Club beer!

Okay, you people are now officially scaring me. How much time did you spend on this nerudite?

 

[nerudite]

A lunch hour... or a little less. It probably wouldn't take me so long, but our network was wayyyyyy slow today.
