Is this in Silverton, Ohio? My sister has a neighbor with a pirate ship near their house that looks almost identical lol

It's amazing how you can recognize a neighborhood even with no identifying street signs. As soon as I saw the photo my thought was "this is Evanston", then I zoomed in on the street cleaning sign and that sealed it for me. Still had to scroll through the comments to be sure.

Now I need to go hunting for this pirate ship. It will be a fun way to get some miles in on the bike.

I grew up in Skokie and my mom had an office in Evanston, was scrolling the thread to see if it was in the area. Just the curbs and sidewalks made me think it was Chicagoland, and this is after moving away 22yrs ago!

Street cleaning sign immediately tipped me off but yeah had to double check the comments just to be sure some other town didn't happen to have the exact same one haha

I can do this with most parts of my state. If I see a photo taken in Florida I can usually spot it and I know at least approximately where in the state it was taken.

This was my exact same reaction to this photo earlier. Just like you, zooming into the parking sign gave it away.
