Address of House Taken by Russians?
I am working on a project to get more information about an unknown side of my family. This photo is of the childhood home of a relative. This may be in Czechoslovakia. The house was taken by Russians during the war and the family was kicked out. I’m hoping to get the address to be able to search Church records.

Trying to work out where this memory was
Hi all,
Had a weird memory come back to me of a visit to an outside shopping mall/business park somewhere in England about 3-4 years ago. I remember a Primark and Home Bargains (which was in the corner of this side) up on a hill one side of a major-ish road and a more old-fashioned McDonald’s in the middle of the car park on the other side of the road which was more flat, with some other shops further back. I believe this place is somewhat near London but I’m not entirely sure. Any help would be greatly appreciated!
Edit: SOLVED

Guys, does anyone know where in Tokyo this is? I found it on a site and all it said was it was taken at a train station in Tokyo. If anyone can help, that would be appreciated. I have a few I have in mind because the pillar is similar, but not sure exactly.

My mom painted this a photograph years ago, and doesn't remember where it was from
My mom doesn't remember if she copied this from a photograph or another painting. Was probably an image from a magazine. I initially thought it was the Florence Cathedral, but the dome and roofs are wrong. She said she copied it "exactly", so I don't think anything was change. My best guess is its a location in Italy, or maybe Greece.

Posted with no context online, where is this?
I've been trying to figure out where this place is ever since I saw the image a few days ago, I've found many videos posted such as https://x.com/Faj11er/status/1822692631492592126?t=OAdSrKQ2x7ZjmqKVuow6yQ&s=19 but the posts never have any context and the comments don't seem to have any suggestions on location. Would love to see it for myself one day, afraid it's fake - please help!

Where was the bar that my grandpa ran in postwar Bremen, Germany?
Bottom picture is what I'm using for reference.
My grandpa got into World War II very late because he had early onset hearing loss, so he only was allowed to enlist near the end of the war when they were basically taking anyone with a pulse. He never saw combat but the primary war story we used to hear about was how he ran an enlisted man's club (known as GI Joe's) in the Vegesack district of Bremen, German after the war. In his telling, his club was right on the river Weser. Based on later photos of the area, I have a partial guess that a building called the "Hotel Restaurant Havenhaus," which is right off the river, is the old bierhalle, but all I have to go off of is a grainy photo from a brochure that was distributed by the US Army command in Bremen plus streetview doesn't go in front of the building.
I'm planning a trip to Bremen some day for other stuff, and would love to find at least the approximate location of his old club. Bonus pic of my grandpa at his desk at the bar.

Somewhere in UK or France
The church looks to have a cylindrical spire (or turret maybe if not conical), covered in ivy, a skylight and a bird table in front. Probably the biggest clues available here

Where in Bavaria is this house?
Hello,
Could anyone please help me identifying the house on this jigsaw puzzle: https://www.rarepuzzles.com/product/3000-wild-horse-bavarian-house-bavaria/
My family passed the house on a journey through Bavaria in the summer of 1992. I know little of our route, but we came from Saxony on the A72, spent a night in Fürth, and then continued to the Austrian Tyrol. Unfortunately I don't know whether this house came before or after Fürth.
Is there anyone who recognizes this?

Does anyone know this motel somewhere near Santa Barbara, California
I took this photo in 2004. The place was probably build in the 60s. We stayed there for one night during a round trip and I wonder if it still exists. Thanks!
