Last week’s contest was won by wes.in.wa. It was Bern, Switzerland.
This week’s is another random location in the world. Good luck!
Can’t Bring Yourself to Type the Word “Ass”?
Eager to share our brilliant political commentary and blunt media criticism, but too genteel to link to horsesass.org? Well, good news, ladies: we also answer to HASeattle.com, because, you know, whatever. You're welcome!
Inmate cottages at the federal prison where Bernie Madoff is doing his time?
Could this possibly be Manitoba, Canada?
“tätie” at the end of street name (top). Possible M or N at the beginning (of same name or different, though …)(at bottom). Dutch? Scandinavian? German? Afrikaans?
It feels like Scandinavia to me, or maybe Netherlands.
I don’t recognize the word-part as German, but I suppose it could be.
Deciduous trees; roofs built for snow, but not really steep. Neighborhood looks less orderly than the German neighborhoods I’ve seen.
@3 Sure that’s a street name? Looks like a superimposed boundary stripe.
Well, I’ve found a region where streets end in “-tie” and where the houses aren’t oriented to street or compass … but don’t have the location narrowed down any more than that.
the little huts out back are a clue to the country, I think.
At the bottom it looks like an “M” or an “N” I assume it’s the same street, although they don’t really line up.
Yeah. Some streets in Europe change names every couple blocks, though.
it’s Mantatie, Oulu, Finland

@Dog How did you find it?
@9/10, Great find! (Dang, I thought I’d searched thru Oulu. And the way Lee had cropped the street, I’d never have thought to see it as a loop.)
I used to live in Oulu when I was a pup.
@Nuthin’ – to expound beyond the non-answer, I used standard search techniques based on the thought that the last part of the street name was ntatie with an accent on the a, and a guess that the first letter was an M rather than N, leaving one letter probably missing, either o or a. Turned out it was an a.
Hope that helps.
Nice.
