Name the city.



No cheating. I'll come round to your house naked and sit on all the furniture if you cheat.

10. It's not the US...but signage in English...Ottawa?
Can't tell which side of the street traffic is on because we have a one-way street, it seems.

Very clean...sorta modern, but old-style, too. Ottawa is my guess.
