Highway6 Posted June 19, 2009 Share Posted June 19, 2009 Guidelines: If you 100% know the answer, answer in a way that doesn't indicate you know 100% to allow others to keep guessing for a few days. (Either just state the answer without backing it up. Throw out misleading clues to throw off the others, Etc.) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crunchtastic Posted June 19, 2009 Share Posted June 19, 2009 First guess would make me say Johannesburg, but there's no way the first few photos make sense. Too European.Berlin? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ross Posted June 19, 2009 Share Posted June 19, 2009 Toronto? Somewhere tha tspeaks English, but it's not in Africa - vegetation is all wrong, and the city is much too nice. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
infinite_jim Posted June 19, 2009 Share Posted June 19, 2009 Judging by the building standards, I'd say this town has had one of the best graff scenes in the double-O's?!? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UrbaNerd Posted June 19, 2009 Share Posted June 19, 2009 Very European...somewhere in either Germany or Austria. the architecture itself isn't as "Bavarian" as typical German cities, so I'd prolly go with Vienna or something in Austria.

CoolBuddy06 Posted June 19, 2009 Share Posted June 19, 2009 To make this more interesting and challenging, how about the OP post just a picture first, perhaps the one that gives the least clue about the location. Then he progressively reveal the place as members discuss it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Then he progressively reveal the place as members discuss it.Pretty good idea.Guess theres no point in continuing this one since half the guesses are already on the money.Out of curiosity.. which photo(s) gave it away... i searched through dozens, eliminating anything with names or showing the locals.Congrats to Crunch for getting it first.

Subdude Posted June 20, 2009 Share Posted June 20, 2009 For me the second photo gave it away - Nelson Mandela Square in Sandton. It's not really green there. If anything it reminds me of parts of California. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
