Google Street Level View comes to the 'Ville

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.

Yeah. There was a bit of a scandal over StreetView shots of one particular field near Stanford University, where a lot of very good-looking undergrads would lie in the sun in bathing suits... Google found out when that street became inexplicably popular. Not sure what their reaction was, but it might have been to blur out the people, or go back and redo the photos on a chilly day.
