New feature of google maps. Click on street view than click on a street. It gives you a view from there.

And question, how in the hell is that done? Who has time to do all that work? (go from street to street across the nation & take 360 degree picture of anywhere on the street)

There are some great pics out there.  The google folks have managed to catch drug deals, arrests, and various other goofy things on the street view camera.

I found 2 of my 3 places of residence in Manhattan.  Seems they skipped our street just north of city park.
