I thought this could be a fun game. You insert a google maps link. Open it without looking at the location.

You then guess where you think it is located. (Town/City, State).

And then after you guess, the next poster, looks where it is actually located, and then makes a comment on the the link and adds a new google street view link to guess.

So here we go!

I'm getting Pennsylvania vibes. The town doesn't look super run-down --- has a few newer buildings --- and also doesn't look hilly, so I'm thinking the eastern part of the state. Maybe Allentown?

For me it just says "E Main St" --- doesn't say much about the location. (I'm on Android)

All I saw was East Main Street, but that alone told me everything.

Some of us are on desktops and it has the city listed right on the side. I guess people on mobile phones can do it without issue.

I was able to find the location by seeking out landmarks.

Specifically, in the OP's case, I spotted the business Cherry Acres and Googled it.

Yeah I think we're just supposed to do it by looking around at the scenery and guessing.

Since I guessed, you can post the next streetview.

Yea, its meant to just be fun! I guess mobile devices can be a bit harder to disguise the location?

For a laptop the city name is in the upper left hand corner, but it is hard to see.

Its meant just to be a fun way to share different streets in different places across the USA, and have people guess where it is located.
