Google found my backyard

So, Google Maps still hasn’t updated my street on their site. Not sure why, perhaps the developers haven’t officially turned the roads over to the city yet. Who knows – but you can at least see our backyard now thanks to Google Street view (which covers most of the US now!! WOW!).

UPDATE :: and here’s the house I grew up in…

There used to be an amazing Cottonwood tree in the front (where all the grass is gone.) and the house used to be painted red and white.

and here’s the house my mom and her sister grew up in ::

all the brick work is new and the front door used to be between the two windows. the trees over to the right of the house is where me and my friends used to build forts and such.

Man to get hit by trolley
Looks like someone’s doing some work – on a ladder – in the middle of the street – with a trolley headed right towards him! Yikes. And yes, this is the same trolley system Laurie and I rode on our first date. (funny thing though – if you try to go SW the car disappears)

Not that the picture in and of itself is spectacular – but here’s the spot where Laurie and I got engaged.

You can barely make it out in this pic, but there’s a bench there which is where it all took place.

And here’s Cafe Brazil.

One of my favorite hangouts in Dallas. Surprised my cars not there – granted it’s not normally there till after dark.

Google releases Street View Dallas

Google released Street View for Dallas today.
Awesome. I now have another way to completely waste my time.
For those of you outside the Dallas area (or even inside Dallas) here are some interesting sites for you.

where President John F. Kennedy was shot (the school book depository is to the right)
