    New York City.

    Or, Atlanta!

    Topcliff, you never answered my earlier question. How many guesses can we make?

    Micah, two things: look at the first page for the answer to your question. Second, you got it right! It's Manhattan, near the courthouse. All right, time for the next picture, thanks to Micah! TopCliff

    -  This is New York City, not Houston.   The intersection is Houston Street and West Broadway.  You can check Windows live search in birds eye view to confirm it.

    Edit:  The white bus with the blue stripe is a typical NYC  MTA Bus.

    Don gets it! Louisville, Kentucky was the right answer. Now this is what I hope will be hard, because, well, every city has demolition sites! Later. TopCliff

    whoops.. Not Las Vegas I am certain it is the Charlette Civic Center in of course Charlette, North Carolina. For some reason the pyramids threw me off even though my uncle lives in Charlette and has told me about the demolition quite a few times.
