Why?
They recently added “Street View” to my old hometown of the Twin Cities, Minnesota. (Minneapolis/St. Paul) Not only that, the Street View functions go well out into the suburbs. I can now see the house I grew up in from Google, as well as old friends’ houses where I spent lots of time growing up.
My sister’s place hasn’t had the Google Street View van go by, but virtually everywhere else has. Kinda crazy, and I certainly spent a little too much time last night checking it out!
