hey,

so im coming back to finland this summer and i am trying to find my house on google earth. but not only have i not been there in over 10 years, at the time i was not able to fly so i am having a hard time finding it.i also tried finding maps to it on finnish sites

it is in haaga on pappilantie.

what is that area like nowadays? it is close to the train station so it has good acess to the city but besides that i really dont remember much.

Well here is a map tool with a Hae/search facility..But I cannot find pappilantie...in Haaga?
It says it is in Espoo?

But I do find Pakkalan Tie in Haaga near Pojois Haaga Station
Oddly the search does not pull it out but if you enter.
hae.."maiju lassilan tie" that is the next road...

The real name is "Haagan pappilantie".

I used to live in Artturi Kanniston tie until late 1996 myself. To me, the region looks exactly the same as it did ten years ago...

Huopalahti station = middle of Haaga
Pohjois-Haaga station = closer to Lassila than even to Pohjois-Haaga.

that was the one. it has this (at the time huge) rock behind it and in winter it would freeze so you could go sliding on it/brake your neck. and that small kallio extended further back and you could go all the way to this small kiosk from there... well you could take the road that is faster maybe but as a kid that was exciting. oh and there was the bar that my dad would go to and i would get that green coloured smurf drink i think it used to be on oskelan tie

yay! well ill be there this summer. but ill be mostly doing my military service. how far away is that from the city center? i remember like 20 min or so.

thanks guys! much apreshiated.
