You’re not wrong, but if not for the massive billboards and the american branded vehicles- ive been to a number of cities in Europe and the UK that look like this or worse, with more traffic and more, much larger buildings….(i currently live in Germany…)
Also, places in Hawaii do look like this, too, unfortunately…mostly Maui and Hawai’i where there’s this much space, but Ohau’s south shore has been bad far a long time 😕
Makes sense. Just because it’s credited in a few sources as Colerain doesn’t mean it’s not really from somewhere else that’s being treated as a sort of bummer stock photo location.
If it came up in Geoguessr I’d say Mexico. But that’s probably just because it looks a bit of a shithole. I’d wager there’s plenty of the US like that too.
I’m sure there’s some Geoguessr player who can tell you where there’s a Subway by a Hertz rental car across from a Speedway gas station, but a stroad with nationally available brands along it doesn’t narrow things down much.
i know a place that looks extremely similar to that
Yeah, it’s called america. Unless you zoom in on a liscense plate, you don’t know WHAT state that is.
Well…I guess it’s not Hawaii. Besides that though…
“I guess it’s not Hawaii”

I’d put down money on Southern California but those medians and a few other things are off.
Reverse image search is yielding Colerain, Ohio. https://www.strongtowns.org/journal/2016/10/24/the-talisman-of-colerain
Mine found me an old reddit thread that says Cincinnati
Finally a way to defeat all those people good at geoguesser: pick an image just past the exit ramp of any major US highway.

I’m surprised it’s not Breezewood, but close enough lol.

It’s like 70% of urbanized America.
I’d actually wager that most of the US looks like that.
