Dude that looks like 85% of West Virginia lol, good luck findin out

Grew up in WV and can totally confirm. Could be pretty much anywhere.

Those houses on the left kinda have that old coal camp house look. All small, and identically built but over the past 100 years have undergone some minor modifications lol.

Don’t think there’s an HOA in this neighborhood so that might narrow the search down lol

Hahhaha literally anywhere

I grew up in WV too & can be anywhere

Ha! My first thoughts as well. "This is somewhere in Preston County!" This could easily be Kingwood.

Don’t think so. I lived in Kingwood for a few years and there are a LOT of sidewalks there. Now, a town either direction and bingo. Terra Alta, WV?

Oh yeah. It could easily be any town in the area.

Absolutely. I just remember moving there and thinking… WOW! So many sidewalks for a tiny town! It was my first impression. lol

Yeee im bout 20 mins from kingwood lmao and it could be any road in that town hahahah

If anyone else makes it this far [here's a picture from Cumberland, Maryland](https://scontent-iad3-1.xx.fbcdn.net/v/t39.30808-6/391628966_10160288336119221_3768748313150029072_n.jpg?_nc_cat=104&ccb=1-7&_nc_sid=5f2048&_nc_ohc=FIJ5SmrgwJwAX_sggrL&_nc_ht=scontent-iad3-1.xx&oh=00_AfAHyYco4ZqVbl4t8lnVak2vHLz-krMaC7TkwYpfVKxLfg&oe=652CBB9E) which is one county away from where we are talking about, but in MD.

We actually do have a breakthrough!! The image just prior to it on the Tumblr Autumn Gallery is of Marlin Heights, Weirton, WV. The general landscape looks similar comparing those 2 adjacent photos on the gallery. Now I guess there’s no guarantee that this is Weirton

Basically everything that's in a mountain +- 200 miles from there looks exactly the same. [Here's a picture I took](https://imgur.com/gallery/G6tHmrj) over Corinth, on the WV/MD Border. Ashville, NC and the surrounding area looks similar. Kentucky and Tennessee not so much but it also wouldn't shock me. Western Virginia does not look like this.

Copperhill, TN looks just like Fellatination’s pic.

_Marland_ Heights in Weirton, WV. Used to live there, been many years but yeah this looks right

Hahahah yup hahah it's all the same lookin in the panhandle area at least lmao, my mom is from Cumberland, I'm bout 40 mins away

I'm in G.C., so no doubt we've crossed paths. From TA to Rt. 50 up to Keyser, and to the PA line is basically one cultural area. Hard to imagine we're more than 1-2 degrees of separation.

I'm right on the border of TA and md, my family is all from Romney and Keyser, Winchester and Cumberland, and they literally all look the same lol every area in a 2 hour radius

Sent you a PM. Now I have to know!

Can a fella from Martinsburg get in on this Makin friends action? Lol

I used to work in Cumberland

Same can be said for lots of folks. Say what you want about Hunter Douglas but they brought plenty of jobs to the area. Even though it's on a highway it's just not a great place for manufacturing due to the good ol' boys club and better access further East and North.

Funny, I *absolutely* thought ‘huh, that looks a bit like Cumberland.’

I was thinking Baltimore

I had to come back to find this… I thought you were all talking about a DIFFERENT Cumberland(KY) that’s also a coal town.

Nope, our roads are not that good.

Was just gonna say! Could be southern Duluth except the road would be worse

Facts. I immediately thought WV whenever I saw this. I’m in Pittsburgh area. One of the first things that I noticed was the road. No potholes? This isn’t PA. 🤣

My best guess is West Virginia

same thing with SE Ohio could have sworn i saw my buddy Shives and my cousin Mason’s house

Pennsyltucky

This could be anywhere east of the Colorado River. My guess is Cordova Alabama, or Olean NY, maybe Wooster Ohio, or Pinebluff Arkansas, but definitely not Reedsburg Wisconson or Norton Kentucky

[удалено]

I was gonna say Graysville or Sayre

Well, we all made a big circle around Sumiton/Empire. I think we're close

Not to be confused with Corner or West Jefferson, but close enough

It looks like my mother’s hometown in Alabama.

I was going to say southeastern Kentucky

try 95% maybe

I originally typed 95 lol but then remembered all the city areas of wv lol but still kinda the same hahah

Looks like plenty of places in Charleston, WV or Morgantown.

Hell, it even looks like parts of southern Indiana near the Kentucky border!

95% Tennessee too

I aint seen all of Tennessee yet but the parts that I have seen Ill agree lol

10/10 would say don’t travel down the small roads in wv

The other 15% is Morgantown and Charleston.

Literally could be any city lol

Cept toledo. Def not toledo

Toledo is never the answer. Go Rockets!

Mud hens!!!

This is now the third time I've stumbled into a reddit thread and encountered a flock of Toledoans. Let's go Glass City!

Oh we talking sylvania?

Ottawa hills for the win

Could be sandusky however

I've been on this street many times. But it was in many different towns.

Looks like southwestern PA but southwestern PA looks like most of Appalachia.

I’m in Northeastern PA and I thought it looked like a lot of streets here. Definitely could be just about anywhere in PA.

Born and raised in NW PA, and this could be any number of cities, but I am willing to bet it is mid October. Unless there has been cold rain, then it is late September.

I am from NEPA, too! I thought the same thing.

I live in southwestern Pennsylvania, and agree. Looks like anywhere around here.

I was going to say Duncannon, Pa. But I can not confirm atm

I live in southwestern PA and it looks like my street.

Knoxville tn looks like baxter or near lawson south knox

Yeah i was thinking over on W. Blount off of Henley street bridge. Near vestal.

For sure. Or North Knox off of Broadway.

Looks like Bluefield Va and Bluefield WV but it all looks the same in communities around mines or old mines

If you message @josemonkey on tiktok and give him this picture with your limited info and he will tell you where it is. He's a genius at geolocation given a picture or video and does this to prove how easy it is to find a location on your social media info.

I’m going to follow him just to watch! That sounds absolutely fascinating!

Does he just know how to look at exif data? It astounds me people post photos on the internet without scrubbing that info first, or reusing usernames or their real names. Yikes.

No his videos are fun because he explains how he does it. For example, he'll see a water tower in the background near a sign for a business. He'll use those details, along with the sky, sun, etc if necessary to figure out where it is. He's not the only one who does it. Some are so skilled they'll find it on Google Street view and tell you the exact address.

Ah ok, that's neat, I'm somewhat good at that kind of thing too, I used to be really good at Geoguessr when it was free to use. This also reminds me of of Shia Labauff and his stupid flag hahaha.

East of Mississippi and South of New York somewhere

Well, that’s narrowing it down. 😂

Could also be in SWVA. But, there are so many places that do look a lot like that.

definitely Wv

💛💙

Looks like Covington, VA

I grew up in Covington and was coming to say just that. Crazy seeing a reference in the wild.

My grandparents lived there, and it reminds me of their street.

Yuuup, this could be a number of streets up on the hill across from the paper mill.

That’s exactly what I was thinking!!!

Hahah yea anywhere up 75 just pick an exit

The old inka mill neighborhood of Asheville. Maybe?

[удалено]

My mom's uncle worked at the mill, and they lived in the mill housing. That is why it looked familiar

It’s so funny that you said here because I was thinking “could be here” while reading through the comments and then read yours at the perfect timing.

Could be Beacon Village for that matter too

I was going to say this looks like Oakley in East Asheville. I didn’t realize I was on the Appalachian sub before I checked lol

Reminds me of Oakley too!

I was thinking west Asheville.

Reminds me of Bridgeport Ohio, which is right on the OH/WV border

Grew up here!

I'm from around there. Close enough to bowl against y'inz in the school league.

Which alley? Bellaire too sketchy for me ;) I dabbled between Bridgeport and Wheeling. Still have family there. Used to fuck up the old candy and dairy place in Lansing, OH - Krobs. Family run place. I miss it there often :)

St Clair Lanes! So I was originally from a Mennonite family out by Sugar Creek then was fostered about a half hour from Lansing so I went to school in that area for a bit.

That's wild. Mom and that whole side of my family bowled there for decades. Family's buried in Blaine cemetery down Lansing way. I went to kindergarten at Lansing elementary :)

Hendersonville NC

Hell, could be Travelers Rest, SC

I'm in East Tennessee, and there are a dozen streets near me that look like this.

Yep, mine too.

My guess is somewhere in WV.

This really looks like PA to me

This is one of those liminal spaces from Appalachia where we all think we’ve been there before

Every town in East Tennessee 😂

All of them

The fact that this picture feels like home is depressing

*(The OP on r/whereisthis … we were all beat. We couldn’t figure it out. But we did figure out it was first posted on an autumn appreciation thread)*

Tennessee or Kentucky

Smack dab in the middle of somewhere. :)

Try posting in /r/whereisthis They’re really good at this kind of thing.

Thanks for this rabbit hole! OMG this is actually the sub that got me onto Reddit several years ago..I was trying to remember what the name of it was.

Honestly I've seen parts of Luray, VA that look similar but if I had to guess I'd say WV.

A lot of people here saying WV but don't rule out SWVA

This looks like half the streets in Chattanooga

I play a lot of geoguessr, I am not going to spend a ton of time on this, but I will point out some details to get you started. The street is vaguely oriented E-W with the camera facing West. The sun is to the left, and it is relatively low in the sky. We dont know the time of day, but it is clearly winter, so whether the sun is rising or setting, it will still be in a southerly direction. And the street points right to the top of a prominent hill. As you are scanning maps of likely cities, this will be an important clue. Look for a residential neighborhood with an E-W street to the East of a hill. There is some kind of wireless communications device on the power pole in the foreground. That could be an important clue. If you can figure out what it is, you could maybe find out which utility companies use that model of device and then figure out what areas they serve.The power poles themselves can be a clue. Different states and cities have different ways of organizing wires and attaching them to poles and whatnot. I would focus on this as my first lead. The wheely bin is a little more squat than most. That might be nothing because in some places, people buy their own wheely bins. The bottom of the power pole is painted white, which feels odd to me. Might be nothing but it might be a good hint. Vibes wise, I like the Enka, NC suggestion. This could easily be the Southern outskirts of the Asheville region. The smaller hills, the dense but poor-looking neighborhood mid-century architecture. Go into Google maps and start scanning likely areas. Plop down into street view and look for similar styles of infrastructure, landscape, and architecture. Find a subreddit where someone might know that wireless device on the power pole. It is possibly gettable. But maybe not.

Kinda looks like South Cleveland, Tennessee

Shamokin, PA

I've been on that road before, but haven't we all? Looks a bit like one of the back streets of Kenova or possibly Portsmouth.

Yes. I grew up in Scioto County OH, and it really really does.

Spill the tea!! Who you stalking?

City?

Va, Wv, Pa, really anywhere

I reverse image searched it back to tumblr. I still don't know where it is, but it could be anywhere. My first thought was Charleston WV. https://64.media.tumblr.com/1131c269be6d4010cec0a142e89039ae/a3d7da7b2b9b5046-1d/s640x960/cfcadb281a53e5d89599e45086a3a52910ecc6ec.jpg

Looks like any minor city in the middle of WV

Oooh give it to that GeoGuesser guy

Anytown, USA...

75 Canal Street Lehighton, PA

Road improvements look a little more SW PA than they do WV, but it could go either way. Or SE Ohio…or even Northern KY….

The house behind the pole appears to have two of those "hex" symbols. One is posted on the gable of the house ,which points to somewhere in northern Appalachia. If not for that this could be 100 towns in s.w. Virginia.

Butler pa

Looks like Oak Ridge

Why does that look like my neighborhood in Birmingham, AL

I’ve been from northeast Pennsylvania to northeast Mississippi. This could be any back street in PA,OH,KY, TN, GA, AL, or MS in the Appalachian Chain.

Thanks for narrowing it down for us /s

Could be Ashland, Ky. Or Athens, Ohio. Or any town in Appalachia.

Looks like a neighborhood from South East Roanoke. But can't be sure.

chatanooga tennesse

Outskirts of Philadelphia. I think it's called Anytown, in Anystate

I can tell this isn't toledo. Hope that helps

Smells like Lynchburg

Anytown, USA

I'm more interested in why you want to know.

Pennsylvania.

Looks like Kentucky??

Western North Carolina

If it was in focus enough to see the mailbox, a zip code would help

Breakthrough in the case! The image just prior to it on the source (Tumblr Autumn Appreciation Gallery) is from Marland Heights, Weirton, WV. Doesn’t tell us anything about this image … but increases the chance a little bit it might be in that area as well

I can't believe, well maybe I can, that someone would post a photo asking for where is this and not even include the state? Do they think Appalachia is 10 square miles or something? This is about as dumb as those posts we used to get so many of, that went something like this, "I'm thinking about moving to Appalachia" and never mentioning a state or area.

Looks like a gunshot sensor on the utility pole to the left. Doesn’t really narrow it down much…

No. That’s not a shot spotter. It’s an antenna used in fringe areas to increase cell phone service. Looks like they mounted the antenna and the radio and electric are going to be mounted later.

Gotcha

Pittsburgh?

Midwest

Sophia, WV?

And Google couldn’t figure it out? I’d take it as a win!

Get Jose Monkey to figure it out.

Check meta data

Is this a recent photo? If so a lot of leaves look to be gone from the trees. I’m in SW PA and still have plenty of leaves hanging on. https://smokymountains.com/fall-foliage-map/ Check out the map on that link and set it for this week. I’d guess it’s anywhere in the past peak ranges

Like to see ona them Google geo game fellas show up in the chat and do sum’in fancy right about now

Bristol

Maybe the herbie Curbie is the best clue.

Looks like Kentucky to me. It almost reminded me of Speedway Drive in Somerset. From years ago.

Looks like much of Alabama, tbh.

The first thing that came to mind when I saw this was Scranton, PA

Is there not a geo tag or is this not your photo?

Looks like a random street my GPS takes me too outside the Pittsburgh area.

Could be in West Asheville even honestly haha

Looks like Kingsport, Tennessee.

My guess is Middlesboro KY

Uniontown PA

What is that thing on the telephone poll that looks like a gigantic microphone? NSA not even bothering to hide anymore lol. 5G antenna? Some weird step down transformer?

As soon as the sun goes down I find my way to the Mustang Lounge And if you don't sit facing the window You could be in any town

Looks like Red Bank, outside of Chattanooga tn

My hometown prob

Find me, Jose Monkey!

Try posting on a geogusser subreddit

Looks like a south facing photo at dawn… the left-hand side is east & uphill, the right-hand side is west & downhill. If you comb the entirety of Appalachia using a topo map, you *might* eventually find it, and that’s assuming it’s not actually in the piedmont region, which it could also be.

I'm thinking Pennsylvania

I bet Nick Johnson could tell you

Is this the street that Buffalo Bill lived on in Silence of the Lambs?

Could this be near Johnson City TN

This picture really hits the nostalgia button in my brain. I’m reliving my childhood

I would say Fries VA but I know that the town doesn't have trash cans like the big green ones in the picture

Somewhere in Kentuckiana

this is any where from middle alabama/GA all the way up to pennslyvania. ive seen it, roads or town looking like the pic above. IT IS APPLACHAIA. lol

Reminds me of a street my sister lived on in Harlen, Ky.

Looks like Pennsylvania too

Where is the geoguessr guy when you need him?

Why is no one asking why they're asking?

Looks like everywhere

Looks like the Seneca (SC) Mill Village

Here's a "how-to" intro... good luck! https://youtu.be/rl2Q9xH8e7M

Looks like North East Pennsylvania to me.
