hey guys so what do you think of this walmart?? yea i guess it looks nice but,, (this post is also for the geo guessers) where do you think this walmart is located in?? i hope that's not a tough question
Palm trees, roofed area in the parking lot. Southern California. Giant sign base on the right side of the picture: next to a freeway.
AZ or NM? Some desert area
Florida
I don't think it's Florida. Those are arid-land plants. I believe that that's some kind of yucca in the planter in the foreground. That tree may be mesquite. The palm may be a California palm fan.
From the plants, I'd guess American Southwest somewhere, maybe southern California.
I think that the license plates are dark-on-light.
California would fit:

Arizona would fit:

I don't think it's New Mexico:

Rural areas in the US tend to have more pickup trucks. I don't see a bunch of trucks.
Walmart is a value store, tends to be more-common in less-wealthy areas.
The cars are older, which could also indicate a less-wealthy area, but might also be the age of the photo; I don't know the age.

The Walmart logo is the 2008+ version, so the photo cannot predate 2008.
If I were gonna make a guess from that, I'd go with Los Angeles or San Diego or thereabouts.
EDIT: The image is a recent Google Street View shot, says copyright 2024 on the watermark. So those are gonna indeed be older cars.
EDIT2: Nah, that "yucca" is just a small palm. Just don't usually see palms that small.
I can only upvote. I've never set foot in the USA. My only reasoning was: palm tree -> florida.
Yeah, it's not an unreasonable connection on that information -- Florida does also have palm trees -- but I'm betting that it's gonna be the other coast.
Florida is flat and pretty wet. It looks pretty lush compared to the Southwest.

Here's a shot from around Los Angeles out in California.
It's dry enough that you won't just have vegetation growing everywhere, and unless you're gonna water it, anything that survives has to be able to tolerate little water. The planter there doesn't have grass or anything.
woa,, those are some very wild and good guesses, although the thing that you got most right is that it's somewhere in the south, althought it's not in the usa. the answer is!! durango, mexico. this state is considered to be arid and dry too, because it's closer to the southwest usa (edit: formatting mistakes)
Palm Springs, California
