Google Streetview

This post is better viewed here than on Facebook.


This is where we walked
This is where we swam
Take a picture here
Take a souvenir

Welcome to Google Streetview! 360 degree photos of our country. It was introduced for several locations across Canada today, so I looked up two of the houses that I grew up in.

(cue Wonder Years theme)

I spent a lot of time in this cul de sac, playing hide and seek and road hockey

Hard to see the house behind the foliage, but an awesome place to grow up.

We moved across town to this house when I was in grade six. The odd thing about this house was that it had parking up the ying yang for a house its size. It was located on a corner. To the far right was a carport and driveway that could squeeze five or six vehicles from the sidestreet. To the far left was a two car garage with a second driveway.

A four bedroom house that could easily park ten vehicles? Whoever designed this house must have owned a lot of Chrysler stock!




Google Streetview, has also raised privacy concerns, but I don't think that this neighbourhood fixture will mind.
