Agreed! Balmed, d'ya fancy explaining how in the world you found that? I made the rookie mistake of assuming the Arts Centre on the right was a church (though, in fairness, maybe it was once?)

Excellent challenge all the same, BRB

Last picture had a business called metro cleaners or cleaning so I had a Google for Massachusetts and hey presto

So far all guesses incorrect.

Be right back

How did I miss that sign?! It is big enough!

It was only one town over from Salem and when I read about it on wikipedia I noticed that among their famous past residents were two victims of the witch trials so ... close but no cigar. Was there anything in that picture of any great significance?

No and not Norway either

Meta:

Would anyone be interested in a "lite" version of this, so we had this as the hard one, and an easier one?
The other one would basically have to have something relatively known in the pic, and wouldn't have to be Google Maps.

The issue with that would be anything relatively well known would be easily found using Google Images Search.

Somewhere in Belgium perhaps?

Balmed Out

No to Belgium.
Clue
Shape of the building thats mostly cropped is what I would have expected to lead to the answer. Northern Europe.

Meta indeed, Ads, but I fear it just wouldn't be challenging enough. I'm essentially useless at setting the yokes here and over on the Ireland thread, but I'll happily spend ages farting around on maps, getting increasingly PO'ed at the OP (to coin a phrase). No offense, Balmed

Anyhow, an hour or so this afternoon heading east from Benelux to Lithuania.

So, throwing Poland into the mix.

Skip Poland, stay coastal

Thats it, well done. City Hall is the building in the picture with a hint of the K tower in background.
