Me too. Thought it was the end of WW2

[Clark Addison]

The 42nd St sign was what confirmed to me that it was New York.

That and if you zoom in down the street you saw one of those classic NYC skyscrapers with the setbacks.

Like many, the GIs made me guess a few years early at the Trevi Fountain. I think I said 1948

Picked Kyiv instead of Riga and was off on a lot of years.

40,120. I thought the election celebrant was in Cairo, and didn't recognize Cobain.

43,575 today. Lebanon was toughest for me, went with Armenia for no good reason really. Tim Hortons and a Waterfront sign sent me to Vancouver but I went with 2018 thinking pre-covid.

[Northwestcoug]

Did me dirty today.Tombstone, Coliseum, and New Zealand were easy but I only nailed the NZ year. Thought the election was somewhere in South America. I was about to put Vancouver for the last one but what I could see on the license plates it looked more plain, like Ontario's. So I put Toronto. And then the film strip at the bottom?!? Cmon.

28,436.

Yeah, me too.

38,519. Took a little while scrolling through the map in Vancouver, but I found the location. I think that's the first time I've gotten all 10,000 points.

Got 3 of the 5 within 50 m. I was a decade off the Cobain one, not recognizing him but strangely considered the grunge era but considered that later part and was way too late. I picked Spain for the Lebanon picture. I considered the Middle East and North Africa, but thought the apartment buildings in the background were pretty nice for those areas, so I picked Spain.

The Canada Place one was the easiest. I went to Expo 86, so I knew where that was right off the bat.

The Tombstone one was pretty easy too, but it took me a while to search the state I knew it was in.

I find the thing that helps me place the year the most are shoes and car models I recognize.

If I had even been close to the Lebanon one, I would have had a new record

Having never been to the colosseum, the cross threw me off, so I guessed Europe in general. Went to South America instead of Lebanon and Aukland instead of Wellington. Best time performance yet, with an average of 3.6 yrs off.

Same.

I was pretty sure it was the colosseum. Made an educated guess the cross would be on the East side. I got really close on that one.

[bluegoose]

44,591. Got the Colosseum right, but missed it by one year. Got impatient looking for the cross street in Vancouver, so I missed it by 300m. Picked Aukland instead of Wellington, for no other reason than I had no idea and took a blind guess on the city. Lucky guess on Beirut, missing by 2k, but I was off by 6 years.

[PaloAltoCougar]

39,250. Great on location, lousy on dates.

[Jeff Lebowski]

32,299. Whiffed the location badly on a couple of them.
