I hate to be a prick, but I hope I'm not alone in being tired of 'guess the cities' that give no clues whatsoever as to what city it actually may be, hell, I could drive past the view shown above and I micht not pick up on it. The scene could exist in thousads of cities across the country. Give us something to work with, man.

Guess the city (this one's tough)

You got it right ! I figured it would take longer than this. I'm not sure what the area is called, but the second pic is of the Western Hills Viaduct, and the first pic is the former site of Crosley field. The pics are about 3 blocks apart. There used to be a BP station on that street, which would have been in the first pic. My wife and I got low on diesel fuel back in 93 during my move back up to Detroit, and we sat in that parking lot all night waiting for the station to open.
