First - A public urinal (sheesh) in Amsterdam, I think. If thats the case, why would anyone want their name associated to it?
Second - Ad for Guinness
Third - I think its the Foxconn living quarters (site of recent apple worker suicides in China)

This one can thus still be found just outside the wall of the Santé Prison. “Santé” means “health” in French, but the prison name comes from the street which leads to a hospital (Sainte Anne). The prison dates from 1867 and is also the only one left inside the Paris borders. I’m ready to make some efforts for my posts, but I didn’t enter neither the urinal, nor the prison.
