Last week’s contest was won by uptown. It was Love’s Travel Stop along I-40 east of Oklahoma City, which was destroyed in last week’s tornadoes. Here’s a page showing what’s left of it.
If you haven’t been by for the contest in a few weeks, each contest picture is now related to something in the news, and the image might not be at the default orientation (facing north). As always, you can click the picture to go straight to the Bing mapping site. Here’s this week’s, good luck!
Looks like a gentlemen’s club.
It’s the Williams-Sonoma Peppermint Bark factory in San Francisco.

It does, but it’s not. And the irony of calling it a “gentleman’s club” will be apparent when someone figures out what it is and what happened there this week.
Well, no one’s gotten this one yet, so I’ll provide a clue for getting it:
Here’s the clue:
“ODS”
Well, it doesn’t appear to be Odessa Airport (IATA code ODS). Nor does it appear to be an Ozone Depletion Substance (although I guess that might depend upon what’s going on inside the building). Nor does it appear to have anything to do with the Czech Civic Democratic party (Občanská demokratická strana).
I know what ods is, however there are so many examples!
24 hours with no answer – is that a record?
There are a couple of corporate entities with “ODS” in the name that have to do with drilling and such, with offices in Lousiana.
Could be newsworthy this week.
However, that bird’s eye view doesn’t look very much like a corporate office.

There was one that wasn’t solved for about 2 days.

I think Biliruben knows what “ods” is based upon the way he worded his comment.
odious?
This might be a team effort –
I have none of the map exploration skills, so I’ll pass on what little I can do the help the cause!
ODS = Obama Derangement Syndrome.
Already checked Rush’s broadcasting studio in Fla.
To add to the team effort, it’s not the McCormick and Schmick’s Seafood restaurant in Irvine, CA where Michelle Bachmann and Orly Taitz both spoke.
And it’s not across the street from the Wal-Mart parking lot where Jerry Kane and his son Joseph were killed in a shootout with Arkansas police after they’d gunned down two cops during a routine traffic stop.
Those would be the two most prominent examples of ODS this past week, so move on down the list.
Although it does look like a strip club, it doesn’t look like the strip club that held the Sarah Palin look alike contest last week.

It’s the Yester Years Pub and Grill in West Allis, WI, where they burned Obama in effigy.

Nice work!! That one was certainly a tough one.
The CNN video in that link is pretty frightening.
Nice!
Hadn’t heard of that one. Should have checked KOS!
Wow the first time Odumba burned in effigy. Puddy disagrees with the perp but they have many more to do before they catch up!
