Greetings, dear readers. This week’s slide is one of mine; this one hails from 1987, if memory serves me correctly.
Where could this be?
Let’s see who are the clever detectives.

Rotterdam?

You’ve got the city right! Well done! Can you narrow it down even further?
-
It looks like the shopping centre, the Lijnbaan. Am I close (metaphorically speaking)?
By the way, the street layout reminded me of the Lijnbaan, but it actually was the building in the background with the letters ‘Stad R…’ (an insurance company?) that gave me the clue. -
You are very close, as this is at the end of the Lange Lijnbaan on the Binnenwegplein.
The art installation still exists today:

My internet research tells me that Zeeman is a European chain store with about 1,000 establishments in the Netherlands, Germany, Belgium, France, and Luxembourg. I can’t narrow it down any further!

Good work! The store location is a bit of a red herring, as that store is no longer in the particular location. The art installation is a key clue, as that was installed in the 1970s and is still there (I even check with Google Maps)
This is the Two kinetic sculptures by George Rickey,Two Turning Vertical Rectangles on Binnenwegplein and Three Columns on the facade of the City Centre in centre of Rotterdam.

You are 100% correct! No surprise there 🙂
