I wanna try a thread similar to the "world skyline thread". Instead of skylines though, post a picture or two of a neighborhood.

 

I made some guidelines that I believe are fair.

 

1. Try to make it a place where forumers have likely been to before, and a place noteworthy (no one is going to know some obscure neighborhood in Tulsa).

 

2. You can post multiple pictures if you think it's a hard one. Remember that street names and window signage can easily give it away.

 

3. Refrain from giving the city name until it's been posted for a day so we can see if people still manage to recognize it.

 

4. Don't be dumb and put the neighborhood name as your file name!

 

5. If you're doing a smaller town, I wouldn't go any smaller than Akron. Some people know small cities like the back of their hand, but most don't.

 

6. Winner obviously posts the next pic.

 

7. Make it a neighborhood in a U.S. city.

 

With that said, lets start out with this one to get the ball rolling...

 

 

Hint: What likes nuts?

 

Hmmm .. Elephant City?

Is there really an elephant city? lol.

In this case it's not an elephant trying to get a nut!

what kind of nuts?  Is it a gayborhood? 

pa license plate....is that a clue or just a coincidence?  I dont recognize this off the bat.  There's a Rita's but......not sure.  Don't think this is Oakland in Pitt.  Bah, help!

That wasn't what I meant by it. It might have a high gay population. The neighborhood is trendy but is known for having a lot of jews. Another hint: In this region but not Ohio.

You're very close. Hurry up and put the hints together before someone else gets it lol.

go buckeyes?

 

watching  the game.

Do I have to be more specific than Squirrel Hill?

Nope you got it. You're up.

I was thinking high St, havent been there in years.

Owight!!

 

Bam.

 

 

Here's an extra one:

 

OK.  We know it's Chicago.

Maaaaaaaybe.

I'm guessing Pilsen in Chicago (looks like the El station).

(oh, and if I DO get that right, somebody ELSE post a neighborhood photo as you've all seen mine *COUGH* MAIN WEBSITE *COUGH*)

FYI - You don't have to post your own photos, simply use google images or take a few shots using google streetview, hit print screen, then paste it and edit it in paint or photoshop so the map can't be seen. :)

FYI - I'm too lazy to do that.

ColDayMan. You're up.

 

Pilsen is one of my favorite neighborhoods ever.

Well, since ColDayMan isn't putting one up and he won, I'll put another one up.

 

hint: Lakewood is to Cleveland as said neighborhood (well, actually its a city) is to its repective larger city

 

 

 

NO NO NO!!! UGH!!!

 

FINE~!!!@!!!

 

Man you can't expect us to know a european neighborhood!

it is in London, baby?

No, and it's a relatively known neighborhood in the world.  The building in the background is a big clue.

Netherlands?

Neighborhood, and no, not in the Netherlands.

Going by country is the only chance I have.

Well then I guess its not the Red Light District of Amsterdam; that's the only international neighborhood I know of lol

I love it!  A few hoods in, and we aren't following the rules....lol.

 

See Rule Seven:

 

"7. Make it a neighborhood in a U.S. city."

David, I know.  I was kidding/trying to be funny.  :) 

David, is that Hamtramck?

Oh, well I did laugh when you said that lol

Yep

I don't "do" rules!  Think big folks!

 

...and hey!  I didn't even want to post the photo!

 

Home to the Victor Hugo Museum in Paris.

Got it!  You're up!

David posed a question at:

 

http://www.urbanohio.com/forum2/index.php/topic,17559.msg334694.html#msg334694

 

Or did he ask out of turn?

Got it! You're up!

 

At the risk of sounding like MTS the Thread-Killer, please give me until the AM when I can scan a couple pix in at work...

What happend was ColDayMan knew the answer to the previous place but said that he didn't want to post the next one. So I posted the next one, but he changed his mind and posted the one in Paris. X got mine right though, it's Hamtramick. However Buckeye1 is up since he figured ColDayMan's out.

Got it!  You're up!

Hey......

Chris that looks like a neighborhood in Paris to me.  Definitely not Amsterdam in my opinion.  One of the most known neighborhoods in Paris is Montmartre although it looks like the Latin Quarter to me.

 

 

 

Hmmmm .. looks New Englandish?

maybe but some mid atlantic states (ie MD) have some of that going on as does Pittsburgh

I know it but I'm not going to say it because I don't want to post anymore!  BAH, WHY DID I POST THIS?  COLDAYMAN IS GOING PSYCHO!

 

And (I believe) Blanks in Charge in that town!

Okay. Still don't know the neighborhood, though.

I basically GAVE it to you in that last line.

I know the TOWN .. I don't know the NEIGHBORHOOD.

Ahem.

 

I basically GAVE it to you in that last line.

 

And I'm talking NEIGHBORHOOD.
