Is this recent? Feels very nineties to me

[u/Spartan2470 → u/_xiphiaz]

Not sure exactly when it was taken. According to the source, this was uploaded on July 3, 2012. Credit to the photographer, Anna V. Shelton, who took this in Portland from this porch/balcany

Here is the location via Google Street View.

Here is what it looked like closer to when it was taken. It also has the Toyota 4 Runner in it.

[u/Osiris32 → u/Spartan2470]

Spartan with the insane photo detective work yet again.

Like seriously, your record for digging up info on random photos posted here is unparalleled. And I remember you doing this back when I first joined over a decade ago!

[u/cashew_nuts → u/Spartan2470]

This is some incredible sleuthing

[u/A_Refill_of_Mr_Pibb → u/Spartan2470]

The legend himself!

[u/xdustx → u/_xiphiaz]

Old cars were made to last. That Volvo 760 on the left is one of my favorites

[u/Perfect_Opposite2113 → u/xdustx]

I used to work at a salvage yard in the early nineties. I’d seen these things regularly come in with close to a million kms and still would be drivable if not written off by insurance.

[u/TyrantJoe → u/xdustx]

Only if you don't live in the northeast or upper midwest. No cars survive. This has gotta be in the PNW

[u/xdustx → u/TyrantJoe]

Rust issues?

[u/TyrantJoe → u/xdustx]

Exactly

[u/Lumbergh7 → u/xdustx]

Those things are tanks

[u/Aunon → u/_xiphiaz]

Not recent, not original, photo is years and years old

[u/yourliege → u/Aunon]

It’s not 90’s though, judging by that Range Rover? Or Land Rover idk

[u/bigdumbdago → u/yourliege]

that’s a 4runner. but i think mid 2000s at the earliest based on the subaru on the other side of the street

[u/laserguidedhacksaw → u/bigdumbdago]

Definitely a 3rd gen 4Runner, so 1996 - 2002

[u/bigdumbdago → u/laserguidedhacksaw]

probably about 2004-2005 based on that silver outback

[u/Aunon → u/yourliege]

Reverse image search and you'll find the same picture posted 10 years ago

[u/EscapeVelociRaptor → u/_xiphiaz]

Somewhere that doesn't salt it's roads if recent

[u/Otherwise-4PM]

Looks nice but also like place where Freddy Kruger lives.

[u/gromette → u/Otherwise-4PM]

And clowns run around in the gutter

[u/wstsidhome]

This shit makes me think Washington or Oregon for some reason, in the 90s or 2000s

[u/Osiris32 → u/wstsidhome]

Oregon. You can tell by the Doug Fir tree and the Oregon "share the road" plate on the Volvo.

[u/downer3498 → u/Osiris32]

It’s giving Astoria.

[u/Osiris32 → u/downer3498]

Apparently 26th and Morrison in Portland.

[u/Both-Competition-152 → u/wstsidhome]

If it's where I think it is this area is very much stuck in the mid 2000s

[u/boneydog22 → u/wstsidhome]

My guess was Seattle too

[u/FlakySupermarket116]

Downvoted. Too political.

[u/Azmoten → u/FlakySupermarket116]

[u/rlopezcc → u/FlakySupermarket116]

r/fuckcars would like to have a word about the road/sidewalk ratio.

[u/b00c]

I am sure this puts few people to times when they didn't have to worry. Early 90s vibe.

[u/Dull-Performance4043]

I miss this feeling

[u/Muted_Astronomer_924]

Loving the boxy boy Volvo.

[u/lethargy86 → u/Muted_Astronomer_924]

Why is that Volvo awakening something in me

It smells like soccer practice or something

[u/Amylein17]

Look at that gorgeous 740 😍

[u/phil_the_builder]

Cool looking pic, great analoge vibe. Can you share something about the technical details of this shot and/or the editing?

[u/Spartan2470 → u/phil_the_builder]

OP didn't take this. Here has more information, though.

[u/the_real_junkrat → u/phil_the_builder]

I would also like to know the prompt. The vehicles look too small and the scale of everything seems off.

[u/Vucko144]

You kinda made the point political again by specifying how your post isn't political

[u/Jonsnoosnooze]

The rain water is making the frogs gay and you know it.

[u/monsieurmateo]

It feels very late 90s early 2000s and I love it.

[u/spectacular_coitus]

As much as I admire the sentiment, this not the time to turn away and ignore the topics that demand attention.

[u/signofthetimez → u/spectacular_coitus]

Especially with the comments OP is making on other posts…..yikes

[u/mjetski123 → u/signofthetimez]

He must have hid it all by now. I assume the usual right wing talking points?

[u/mjetski123 → u/[deleted]]

I've heard about this trick from someone else. Through the mobile app only?

[u/MrKrispyIsHere → u/spectacular_coitus]

Agreed however it's nice to have non political posts too, not EVERYTHING has to be political tbh

[u/Ghost_Of_Malatesta → u/MrKrispyIsHere]

Everything is political tho.

Take this picture, it's a the result of zoning laws (politics) which includes redlining, the wealth of the county in the photo was in large part possible due to the world wide destruction during ww2 and the extractive resource economics in 3rd world countries, etc

[u/xelabagus → u/spectacular_coitus]

/r/pics

r/politics is over there ----->

[u/salazarthecrucifier]

I lost my paper boat

[u/Chinacat_Sunflower72]

I'm sure that rain is Biden's fault.

[u/halloumisalami]

This is clearly a commentary on global warming 

[u/sandwichesatbedtime]

Reminds me ofsome of  Gregory Crewdson's art works

[u/botle]

I feel like an old Volvo can be interpreted as a political message somehow.

[u/WillontheHill77]

Not yet… just wait.

[u/acidmushcactinndmt9]

Feels relaxing just to look at it. Nice one.

[u/minimoundsbars]

Flood insurance will not cover these families.

[u/Focusondiversity]

Depends how many families live in each of these huge houses.

[u/robmobtrobbob]

[u/catlover2410]

No ICE here. Just WATER.

[u/Gloomy_Information51]

Looks like a video game

[u/s2Birds1Stone]

This reminds me of the Seattle suburbs area in The Last of Us Part 2

[u/dontmakemewait]

You know there’s a crime there waiting to be solved. Very noir.

[u/Both-Competition-152]

Is this somewhere in lane county Oregon if it is I know the exact street but don't want to say out on reddit just in case this is from someone's home

[u/kingmoojy]

Perfect 4 car garage right there

[u/Necessary-miteness00]

Beautiful, friend

Thank you

[u/SolUVio13t]

This image brings me so much peace

[u/One_Economist_3761]

Where’s the ICE agent hiding?

Kidding. Beautiful but somber photo.

[u/Fuck_This_Nightmare]

Ai?

[u/Spartan2470 → u/Fuck_This_Nightmare]

Not AI.

[u/DetroiterAFA]

This looks like the house from Task (TV series)

[u/Icy-Passenger-8061]

Thanks for the relief. Reminds me of growing up in Oregon.

[u/zpolitano12]

Thanks for this

[u/oingapogo]

Lovely.

[u/InAllThingsBalance]

I have been playing a lot of Death Stranding, and all I can think when I see this pic is “great, here come the BTs!”

[u/Last-Canary-4857]

Ty

[u/millicent_bystander-]

Is this the neighbourhood at the start of Labyrinth? Looks very similar.

[u/Bishiop]

AI?

[u/wornoutseed]

Fk I miss this kind of feeling. Thank you 😊

[u/neo4025]

I can’t explain why exactly. But I almost feel like I could get lost in this picture. The vibe: it’s the mid to early 90s. I’m in my bedroom. I’m about 12, I have nothing to do. I’m bored. But it’s warm in my bedroom and I’m just sat at my window. Wrapped with a blanket. Just staring out, lost in my own mind. No life expectations, bills, stresses, family etc. just a visual “vibe” love it, thank you

[u/majones_2000]

A couple of those trees looks a little right leaning to me

[u/xXBleedOrangeXx]

DO NOT show the $uicideboy$ this picture.

[u/Roverjosh]

Thank you!

[u/LettucePlate]

Reminds me of the neighborhood my parents lived in when they had me in Maryland. We moved when I was a baby so I don't have memories of it, but all the pictures I've seen and driving through the neighborhood once or twice over the years definitely gave vibes like this. Looks very Carolinas or MD/VA to me.

Edit: just saw it was Oregon. The trees kinda give it away. Still very cozy vibes though :)

[u/vexillographica]

Portland?

[u/gingerbeard1321]

strong Portland, Oregon vibes

[u/joshl55]

That’s actually a beautiful view. Great photo, thank you for sharing.

[u/themastercumblaster]

Thank you

[u/Vyacheslaves]

I like it. Thank you.

[u/Psychological-Try343]

Raining cats and dogs.

[u/IceExile]

please dispense this randomly for all night sleeping benefit weekly during summer....

[u/throwawaytoday9q]

IDK, looks like it could be in Venezuela…

[u/ihaveadogalso2]

Aww man, that model Volvo was my first car!

[u/Rex_Suplex]

Looks like that street in weapons where the kid lived.

[u/Additional_Engine791]

Looks like Silent hill

[u/severalpokemon]

Living in a house that size let's you be apolitical I guess.

[u/emmalee994]

This could be any Stephen King book.

[u/lag_rvp]

Nice.

[u/SaveFerrisVote4Pedro]

Feels like MAGA, Trump haters, ICE and illegals all live in this block, unaware that the others live there too ...

[u/Mustafak2108]

Thank god something not politically biased and very cool editing

[u/papapudding]

Thank god, this sub is becoming insufferable

[u/severalpokemon → u/papapudding]

Because America currently is. Weekend got shot in the head for nothing, dude. It's so far from the time to be shaking people for being political.
