There's a labels checkbox in the upper right corner.

Got it. OK here we go. Probably a bit too easy, but I think we need an easy one after the last one.

Yup, someone would have probably guessed it or found it sooner if I had a smaller zoom on it to show off the lovely streets of downtown Pyongyang.

Not sure if you want something more specific, but the park in the middle is Russian Hill Park in San Francisco.

We visited this city on our honeymoon, but not this particular place, though it is historically important.

Ha! I didn't even see Lombard Street 'til just now. I didn't actually have a clue where the pic was, but once I googled "yellow crosswalks", that narrowed it to California and then took a chance on your location and scoped around the Bay Area for a bit until I hit the match. Would have been a lot easier if I had seen Lombard. |

It does resemble the entrance to Yellowstone NP... not in shape but in the clustering of buildings, red roofs, layout sort of sense...

Yeah, I'd bet on it being a WPA-era grouping of federal government buildings. But I don't spot anything in the pic itself to give me a clue...

Although to others of you out there, this is definitely midwestern/prairie/high desert terrain. Bet you $1 this is in the Mountain Time Zone.

(I double-checked Carlsbad Caverns and Grand Canyon NPs, for instance, even though I didn't think it was either of those.)
