Have fun.

When you enter a street address, city and state, you will see a picture of that place.
I just looked at my childhood home! Really nice website!

And if your street picture isn't available, you can click on Area Photographs at the top of the page, and it will display pictures of the highlights of the town. I love this site.

The picture of our house in TV is about 6 months old. I'd think that heavily populated areas would be the ones most often updated.

First house I lived in was on the South Side of Chicago and across the street from a Street Car Barn at 69th and Ashland Ave.

I looked at the address in the above website and it is an empty lot.

I don't get it. Isn't this just Google maps (http://maps.google.com/) reformatted? What's the benefit?

I brought up the house we just closed on yesterday and and it must have been taken fairly current. It shows the new sidewalks, fence and parking area we put in about a year and a half ago.

It looks so good I could buy the place myself! The Villages Florida
