FINALLY! Google Maps Street View!
I've been waiting 2 years of more for Google to video map Charleston. FINALLY they have and it's up and running. It appears that the video was shot close to two years ago. To see Charleston and many surrounding cities, just click on Google and then MAPS. Zoom-in and then click on the little yellow man in the upper left hand corner. They even video-mapped MAN WV!

Pictures seem to be a few years old.
Addressing is way off.
But neat anyway you see it.

Notice it says "address is approximate".

They've got video for all of I-79 and an eclectic collection of state and US highways out in the boonies. My workplace made it as well.
Aircheck? You'd make a great board op.

You gotta love the guy carrying the plate of food across the street in the 102 photo ...

Translators are a Pox on the FM radio dial.

I thought it looked like a fried chicken dinner.....might be a little dark for that, though.....

Funny thing is, that guy is a friend of mine and my best friends son. He was taking food to his dad, and does so every Tuesday. This is how we dated the photo. (at least the day of the week).

Re: FINALLY! Google Maps Street View!
My guess is August 2007. I traded my old car (which is in my driveway in the photo) in September 2007 and the house next door to me is gone (bought the house and demolished it in July 2007).
