I found my cousins restaurant the other day in Ft Meyers Beach area, Florida :D  I love that google street view thing.  Very cool.

I like the car dealership Dreamstime is across the street from. :) Didn't shutterstock used to be in the flat iron building before they moved, or am I mistaken?

I like this google street view, too. For my summer vacation later, I have investigated where and how my hotels are with googlestreet already.

There was a funny event when the google car passed a girl and that girl flashed her boob. I guess it already picked up by google and removed that image.  :-[ You still can see the girl here: http://tinyurl.com/dzavut

Man, I blew a whole weekend on Google street view. I found it by accident when trying to get directions somewhere. Its pretty cool, I just wish they had more photos for Sequim, WA, you can only see it from the highway.

Slightly OT, but here's my place (http://maps.google.com/maps?f=q&source=s_q&hl=en&geocode=&sll=35.969115,-86.818771&sspn=0.096696,0.412331&ie=UTF8&t=h&layer=c&cbll=39.41007,-76.632322&panoid=g7wGy1LFQkveLfP0vDWm3A&cbp=11,33.971708290310524,,0,-0.32056619483763465&ll=39.41043,-76.632326&spn=0.001442,0.006443&z=18&iwloc=A) when I lived in the USA (suburbs of Baltimore, MD).
They've only recently started shooting 'worthwhile' parts of Vancouver, where I live now.

I know, im really not too worried about it though...when they come out with "Google Live Feed" then we are going to be in trouble. lol

There's blown out highlights and the focus isn't there where we feel it would work best.
