Website with panned images of every city block?

I remember seeing this thing sometime in the past, and I can't remember whether it was an application or a download. Maybe it was a Google thing, like Google Earth? Anyway, this entity, whoever it was, had a truck with a stationary camera that drove up and down every street in at least some major cities, such that you could see pictured, at street level, every address in the city. Does anybody know about this and where to find it? Thanks.

Yes, you should have closed the blinds when they drove by.

Well, it doesn't look how I remember it, but they may have changed the look and feel. In any event, it's exactly what I need. Thanks!
