Google Street Level View comes to the 'Ville

[shana-lyons.livejournal.com]

Google's Street Level View team has apparently done a really thorough job mapping the Somerville area over the last few months. Street Level view went live for the Boston area today. I looked at our house and I can see our pizza takeout boxes in our recycling. It's REALLY detailed. you guys might want to take a look at your home to see what the world can now see.

Wow -- every single street in your neighborhood, except yours, has a street view.

It looks like they didn't get a lot of tiny streets, little cul-de-sacs etc., so it's not quite *every single* street :D.

They got pretty much every non-teeny street, but as noted, there was construction on the corner so the street was closed and they couldn't get in. Waaah!

pheromone's street is neither a dead-end nor especially tiny; it's about the same width as everything else around her. But if it was inaccessible the day Google wanted to drive down it....
