Creepy Google streetview comes to my neighborhood - Page 2

Is this right, Sundae? It includes both your house and your work?

Sundae · 03-24-2008, 09:50 AM

Yay! Thanks Glatt.
Now you can all see how early I have to tumble out of bed to make it in on time.

dirty bitch

That's just awesome. I wish my commute was that short.

Sundae's only a couple blocks from the river, which is off to the left. But it appears to be fairly industrialized there and you probably can't get anywhere near the water. Cool though, to be able to say you live on the banks of the Thames and commute less than a block to work.

And I thought my commute was good ... five minutes, if I catch the traffic lights right.

I always thought zabasearch was kind of creepy. You can find pretty much anyone on there.

Elspode · 03-24-2008, 07:41 PM

Um...wow. This MS pic blows away anything Google offers by an enormous margin. There's even two views of my place, one from the South, looking at the back, and one from the North. The arrow is a little out of place...my house is the two story brown one with the standalone Barn and a camper in the driveway. I'm estimating these pics were taken about 14 months ago since the construction of the old folks' place is underway, but my anemometer isn't yet up on the roof.

I'm amazed that I can even say that...

Elspode · 03-24-2008, 07:56 PM

I've annotated a version of the back to help give you some idea of how much I love my yard. Still lots of room to plant, too...and party.

lumberjim · 03-24-2008, 08:15 PM

SOOOO much better

lumberjim · 03-24-2008, 08:22 PM

funny....i was making my map while spode was posting his....i swear it. didnt see it until i refreshed. great minds.

Elspode · 03-24-2008, 09:06 PM

Yeah, but I've got fruit trees and you have poop molecule vents.

Clodfobble · 03-24-2008, 09:49 PM

Oh THIS is creepy. Here's our house from one angle:

(It's our cars in the driveway, but the fig trees have yet to be trimmed, putting this picture at somewhere between 7 to 10 months old.) Now, here it is from another angle:

Look closely. You can see us getting into or out of the minivan.

Shawnee123 · 03-25-2008, 10:34 AM

Is it because I live in nowheresville that I don't get a very close aerial shot of my place? I can find it, but if you get too close there's no picture.

Trilby · 03-25-2008, 03:58 PM

I can get mine, but I don't know how to post it. Hm.

Elspode · 03-25-2008, 11:07 PM

Get it on your screen, the hit the "Print Screen/SysRq" or some variation thereof. Open a picture program (even Paint will do), select "paste" and the pic will be inserted into your program. Crop, save, post.
