It was meant to be: hadn't looked in on the thread in a few days and finished Great Granny Webster last night:
The Clandeboye Estate is a country estate located in Bangor, County Down, Northern Ireland, 12 miles (19 km) outside Belfast. . .The estate is also the inspiration for Dunmartin Hall in the 1977 novel Great Granny Webster by Caroline Blackwood, who lived at the hall as a child.

(did not make this connection until after I found the ferris wheel, mind) great book!

I checked dozens of Tescos in Slovakia, Poland, Czechia and Hungary for this on Friday, started doing Ireland and N Ireland as well (on Saturday, I guess), but didn’t follow thru. There’s only so many Tesco stations a person can take in in one lifetime. I finally got a handle on navigating Streetview in the process, so it wasn’t all for nothing

Is this one of the many cities with extensive streetview coverage in Mexico that got referenced during the Salta guesses?

It is not Leon.

Ah got excited for a moment having clicked on a random street there (actualy after guessing Leon) and immediately seeing those same cubey trees and very similar buildings.

I'm going to guess San Juan, Puerto Rico. I have noticed they like painting hazard paint on the edge of their pavements there.

It’s not San Juan.

Well as I've got nothing else right now and a cursory search suggests some similarities and they're all incredibly dense to search I'm just gonna guess one that was mentioned - Mazatlan?
― ignore the blue line (or something), Monday, 5 April 2021 21:26 (three years ago) link
Yes, it’s Mazatlan.
I couldn’t resist posting the one city that actually does have a big blue line down the middle of the road.
― Scampo di tutti i Scampi (ShariVari), Monday, 5 April 2021 21:28 (three years ago) link
Haha I genuinely thought that was just the streetview line again. I got rewarded for laziness there, should really try and find the spot

Wait what I was joking, is that a real blue stripe?!
― Canon in Deez (silby), Monday, 5 April 2021 22:56 (three years ago) link
Looks real!
― calzino, Monday, 5 April 2021
This was my guess too, or at least it was until I couldn't find it (and the old town part there seems pretty small)
― cherry blossom, Tuesday, 6 April 2021 05:21 (three years ago) link
It is real.
Mazatlan has a designated safe tourist route for cruise ship passengers, etc, marked in blue, that looks almost exactly like the street view thing.

It's the Kansas City Convention Center. I think i must have been eyeballing a conference for work in 2010, which i ultimately didn't get to go to, and it has lodged in my mind.
