google takes to the streets

google makes me happy. much more so than live search, but that's another story...

i thought that satellite was pretty damn cool, but now the boys tell me about the new street view option. i mean damn. if you so desire, you can take a nice leisurely stroll across golden gate bridge with 360 views. sheesh.

at the moment the only cities with street views available are san francisco, vegas, new york, miami, and denver. wait, denver? yeah. not sure how that one got in there, but i've been cruising my old stomping grounds quite a bit. 15th street tavern, oh how i miss you.

i tried to get a street view of my grandma's place, but she's just outside the street view area -- talk about living on the wrong side of the tracks....

just think about how this could change the future of travel planning. "hey hon, i just looked up that hotel on google street -- there's a guy peeing on the doorstep. let's stay at that cool looking place a few doors down instead."
