WHERE is this place? (average, old, cities, Texas)

I'll try guessing Atlanta first, but there don't appear to be any unique identifiers in the picture.

No, not Atlanta. It's in the US, but you're too far east.

And, you're right that there are no unique identifiers, so here's something else in the same town:

I'll assume its in the USA
I'll assume its in a southern locale
I'll guess Vegas

No, it's not Vegas. It is in a southern state, but the people there don't usually consider themselves as "southern."

How about El Paso?

No, but you're in the right state. You just need to get a little "closer to home."

Victoria. Christmas 2004. There are a million gazebos, and I didn't recognize the building in the background. People drove 200 miles to come and see our 13-inch snow.

Right. Since your profile lists Victoria as your place of residence, I just wanted to make sure you're awake.

I thought the Catholic Church would give it away.

Your turn!

ps: Years ago, I got kicked out of Victoria County by the Sheriff, who invited me to never return. Of course, I've been back many times and it's a neat little town.

OK here you go. An interesting hint here: This was, for a time, the richest city, per capita, in the USA.

It looks awfully northeastern to me. Is it a Massachusetts mill town?
