If you enjoyed our publications on the subreddit What Is This Thing? and the detective work that goes on over there, you'll love this one too.
Called Where Was This Taken?, it's “same-same, but different.”
People come to the online community exclusively to share a picture and ask its members to pinpoint the location where it was snapped. And many do!
From rural coastlines and mountain valleys to busy highways and city squares — they never shy away from a challenge. Must be those GeoGuessr pros!
#41 I've Seen This Photo Titled As Edinburgh In The 1960s But I'm Sure It's Not. Does Anyone Know Where It Is?
Academic_Split2206: The foreground is the roof of Marischal College in Aberdeen, looking west along Upperkirkgate. There are some different buildings there now, but the church spires are the same, and it's definitely [edit] the Kirk of St Nicholas to the left of the image.

#44 Where Was This Taken? Possibly South Of England
anon: Looks like Station Road, Tidworth (here).
If you look at old photos, there was a field and car park (top right of the photo) where the Tesco store is now located.

#45 Does Anyone Recognize The Style Of Buildings? This Was The 1951, And Somewhere In Europe (Not UK)
SimonX153: I live in a house that is the same style. Its called Backsteinexpressionismus (brick expressionism). There is a Wikipedia article about it:
"The term Brick Expressionism (German: Backsteinexpressionismus) describes a specific variant of Expressionist architecture that uses bricks, tiles or clinker bricks as the main visible building material. Buildings in the style were erected mostly in the 1920s, primarily in Germany and the Netherlands,[1] where the style was created."
Jenkins_Fish: Copenhagen is littered with these kind of apartment-buildings. "Herskabslejligheder" which was apartments for the upper middle-class and above.

#48 Is This Picture From 1976 Or Circa Late 2000s?
It might seem like a dumb question but the pic was found on Flickr and says July 4th 1976 but looks very modern to me and some of the people look heavy weight and the color of photo is hit or miss
romulusnr: The building being constructed in the background appears to be the SouthShore Condominimums, which were supposedly completed in 2008.
This looks like the location of this pool, which is apparently no longer a pool.
More info.
The original pool was built in 1976, though. So that may be what the date was originally meant to indicate.
