Last week’s contest turned out to be a tough one. It wasn’t solved until Tuesday afternoon when wes.in.wa came up with the correct location of Auburn, Alabama. The building pictured was Cater Hall, on the campus of Auburn University. That’s two in a row for wes.
I’ve generally been treating these posts as open threads, but last week got way out of hand, so I’ll be deleting any off topic nonsense from the threads from now on.
For those new to the contest, you can click the picture below to go to the bing.com map tool. Click the ‘Bird’s eye’ button to switch to Bird’s Eye view and search away.
Here’s this week’s, good luck!
Interesting looking ‘glorified’ duplexes

Other observations:
The houses are on a slope with a small dam holding back what looks like ‘storm water’; The street at the bottom appears to have a ‘parking’ area.
So is this a possible area in a southern climate with an interesting view off to the bottom of the picture.

That’s the big clue here, but the P does not stand for Parking. :)
O’Fallon, MO
@4 Damn, almost had it! I was looking at Missouri State Highway P, but hadn’t followed it all the way to O’Fallon yet.
Good job!

Awesome
What strategy did you us? I was looking for “P” roads, streets etc.
Also – Most excellent!!! Congratulations!!!
@4
Well done!
@6 I Googled “highway p” and went down the list until I found one with Bird’s Eye View and followed it…just ahead of Jeff ;).
P.S. if anyone tries to go to my website, the server is experiencing “a very heavy DDoS (Denial of Service) attack
on cp2.atspace.com that is causing the whole infrastructure to slowdown and
not process all requests.” But, hey, it’s a free service with no ads required so I can’t complain. If you don’t get through just try again later.
Dang. I was searching golf courses on or near Rt. P, on the mistaken thought that the McMansions were a golf course development — and that the water feature in the lower left was a golf green.
Missouri is well known for its “letter” highways. Sometimes they’re even double-letters — near the St. Louis airport, I see highways TT and Ee (yes, one cap, one lower-case).
Also, Wisconsin has a lot of counties with “county highway p”. I wasted a lot of time there before moving on to MO.
