Yeah Pittsburgh is pretty unique in that not many places have yellow bridges

Funny that both Cincinnati and Pittsburgh came up, because for me they're two darkhorse cities in the U.S. with some thrillingly classic American urban neighbourhoods that survived the postwar devastation wrought by white flight and expressways. I think Cincinnati might even come out on top in my estimation due to Over-the-Rhine. Check it out in Google Street View, it's amazing.

Aren't there more movies set in Pittsburgh than Cincinnati though? That's my cursory impression, anyway.

Cincy is a very low profile city by US standards. I'm hard pressed to think of any pop cultural things that have come out of there since Dr. Johnny Fever and WKRP.

I recognized Pittsburgh mainly because the picture reminded me of the outfield view at the Pirates' stadium, including the yellow bridges. The hills were the clincher.

only non sports related topic I know regarding Cincinnati is the abandoned subway which I have yet to visit.

There is definitely a decent amount of movies set in Pittsburgh considering it's relatively small size.

I really need to spend some more time there. Driven through dozens of times but have never really gotten off the interstate for any amount of time.

I thought it might have been Louisville Kentucky.

Ya, Cincinnati really does fly below the radar especially considering it's size. As the saying goes......Columbus was a discoverer, Cincinnati is a radio station, and Cleveland in Ohio.

Agreed. Definitely European, and northern European at that. I'll go for Germany, and going out on a limb, I'll say Dusseldorf.

You’re both on the right continent. I just noticed there is one small giveaway.

If you are referring to that sign indicating a bicycle right-of-way, then I guess it has to be in the Netherlands.

I tired to find the least Vienna-like picture I had. The clue I missed was the little:Austrian flags painted around the lamp pole above the pedestrian-activist Ed crossing buttons.

This is somewhere in Hamilton, and I'm ashamed to say I can't place the location. Anyone?

I freely admit I was inspired to post this to show off some of Steeltown's gritty post-industrial awesomeness.

With the one-way street in the background, I would guess it's off Wellington or Victoria or Sherman, north of Barton.

Landsdowne off Sherman, next to the Cotton Factory.

But a bit farther eastward than that first street view, in front of this building: https://goo.gl/maps/wUexzDmNENCm3prJ9

Thanks. Not surprised at the answer, of course. The photo came from something artsy/musically, so I'm assuming a lot of the area is devoted to creative endeavours these days.
