| Google Street View is amazing
Have any of you been looking at Google Maps' Street View? It was released a year ago, and more cities and areas are being added. Google just added a ton more stuff today. Quote:
So check out your city! Find your home or car. I found my old apartment in Tucson, and my brother's car is there. It's hard to see, but I believe that's it. I also found my grandpa's house, aunt's house, uncle's house and my cousin's house. It's really neat. I also found people sitting in Kennywood's Screamin' Swing ready to ride or ready to exit. Here. Show off your cool finds. To see Google Street View, go to http://maps.google.com and click on Street View. It's only in select cities in the U.S., so yours may not be there yet.

Looking in the Philly metro area I believe I found our old Ford Escort in the driveway. We had it sit there for a year before we gave it to charity. It was EAGLES green, I should have spraypainted EAGLES' wings on the doors!

We've had it in Boston (and Melrose) for a few months now. Its been all over the news here as people have been "spotted" doing things... And people are making a big deal out of it. (Like some MA state worker taking his trash out (OH NO!! NOT THAT!)) - On my street you can see the girl who lives next door on her bike (and shes like 7) |

Now I see what you guys are talking about. I am just a few hundred feet of being in the blue area of coverage in the Philly area map. It extends for miles north of the city to burbs but the Delaware River, the state border keeps me out of having that facet. It doesn't cross the river for me. In Philly the blue lines won't connect to the highly commercialized street my dad's plant is on. I can see the tower of his building but not his car in the parking lot.

One of my co-workers is getting out of his car at our retail store that we have. We can tell it's about 8am. 2744 Old Lebanon Rd, Nashville TN 37214 - Google Maps Click on street view, you'll see the car.

I tried a bunch of places in and around Charlotte and most places didn't work and the places that did work they stopped working if you scrolled down the street a little.

I know you can see Worlds of Fun and SFGAM already with this function. So that's pretty cool as is.

Murfreesboro has had a ton of separations from grade crossings like that done more recently. They're not done, either, as they plan on separating the intersection of Old Fort/Memorial and Broad St.

I just found my house on it. Though they have the address wrong. Picture was taken very early last spring, or last fall, and was taken on a weekend morning.
