Any ideas where this is?
 

A friend at work was sorting through some slides the other night and came across this old picture, and he's now trying to locate where it is.

So for we've narrowed it down to somewher in the US. can anyone help pin point it more accurately?

Andy have you got a larger version of this picture? It looks like there is writing on top of that building, and reading it might make it a bit easier to identify?

is there a prize by the way if anyone solves this? ;)

It says "A Merry Christmas and A Happy New Year"

Does that narrow it down a bit?

Andy, so far no luck...looks a bit like a chopped up Empire State Building...thought it's a Plaza Hotel but that doesn't seem to be it either...every time idea pops into the head, when looked in Google it's different image altogether...

There'll be a similar prize to the caption competition thread I posted so long ago :p

Can't work out if it's buildings on a hill behind the main building or lights on towerblocks ... so that's no help :))

You know what is weird (yes, I know - it's me, so this is your second guess)...look carefully at the cars...is it me or do they look kinda oldish???

Well, Andy did say "old picture" so I guess it's not that weird :-).

But yes, I noticed that too :-)

Another thing for me is parking in front of the building...or at least it looks like a parking...maybe it's not NYC...

I set a colleague on the task...had too much to do, sorry! if she solves the mystery though I will let you know!

what?? theres more to the USA than New York? :shock::faint:

Really...you're a miserable bastid...what I guess I wanted to say was that besides NYC I don't know much about big American Cities...not enough to recognize this building in any event...

thanks :))

Oh you know that I love you...go on with you...

looks like Washington DC to me but I will ask my dad tomorrow...he might know....

Chris

nope

Well, I don't think it's NYC either...

i think its wherever he set it... mustta had it to post the pic here

no idea

It's been found!

And it isn't where you'd think it is :))

I don't think it's anywhere

After a nght of youtube headphones and booze it's a wonder you can remember to type let alone think about places.

multi talented me lol
