GStreetViews offers a strange idyllic view of cities where it is always a sunny day and people are frozen in their tracks, often looking at the alien camera device. It recalls an episode of Rod Serling's Twilight Zone where the main actor was able to move so quickly that all other people seemed to be standing still. My own GSV travels still remain in Canada because there is so much to see before viewing further.
Hint: pick a roadway that borders a spectacular view and enjoy the natural scenery too.

Zoom out, and drag the little street view guy onto the map. Google highlights all the roads where Street View is available.

Notice something else James? "Go to the left" of that photo, there is a man gardening infront of the house. I don't think he knows it's on fire, which is really odd because the van is parked IN HIS DRIVEWAY. If you go further "left", two houses down there are 3 people coming out of a house wondering what the heck is on fire and why is that man gardening!!?!?! That man must have something wrong with his nose for sure to let that fire burn in his own driveway!

I'M wondering why are people complaining about their privates lifes if the Streetview as your face on it, or your license plate. Are these so dangerous that your life depends on it?

That's pretty rowdy! Does anyone know of a go-to compendium for such awesome streetview sightings?

Downtown photos seem to be taken Spring 2009:

Anyone find an "electronic sign" with a date on it?

No doubt the first of many such sightings, but I can't help wondering if the Google driver thought to stop and call the fire department:

To David Pinto: Google changes it's logo for special occasions. Click on it and you'll see what it's about.

No cats in my windows but it's nice to know that my condo windows do get cleaned.

I must live close to you (and Steve's old place?) because my house isnt on the Street View either. :(

Off-topic, but if you call up http://www.google.ca today, you will see that instead of saying Google at the top of the page, there is simply a bar code!

I just Street Viewed my family home in the West Island on the obscurist of streets, sometime in the summer, I guess. Very weird.
