Google Street View

I was just trying to plot a highway-free route home from work (no way Jose) and I was using Google Maps. You can now walk through all of the turns in the suggested route using a split screen with the map on the bottom and Street View on the top.

When the route got to it’s final destination I was curious what our house looked like. I thought that it would probably be a picture from before we moved in, if there was a picture at all. Wasn’t I surprised to find that it was most definitely during our home ownership. I can even give you a date range for when the picture was taken. It was some time after October 7, 2011. How do I know? Because the tree was gone!

I was also happy to see that the grass was green, and even happier to see that the grass was cut. >whew<

I wouldn't want to have to call Google and ask them to come back for a reshoot. I just wish I could have seen the camera car in the act.
