The camera-equipped Google cars that take Street View pictures make passes through my neighborhood every few years.
Google’s most-recent foray occurred last summer, and I barely missed the car as it drove in front of my house. My wife alerted me to this fact minutes later, and I tried to catch up with the car for a look-see, but I never found it.
Since then, I’ve checked Google Maps every few weeks to see if the Street View photos had been updated.
This finally happened.
By a fluke, the Street View car happened to capture quite a bit of inner-city color in my ‘hood, including a kid on a bike, residents queued up to an ice-cream truck, a father and daughter emerging from a car, two women doing lawn upkeep on their properties, and more.
Cool stuff.
