Here’s mine, smack in the middle, or it will be in about a year after this photo was taken. We moved in in November of 1999. I remember that orchard in the upper right hand of the photo - it was a nice old walnut grove, gone forever now.
Oh! Found my childhood home, but it took me forever to realize I was in the right area, but they labeled The Old Codgers’ House instead. (I think they were both over 100 and hated everyone. I don’t even think my parents knew their first names after living next to them for 25+ years.)
If you go to the street between the two very narrow alleys, mine is the second on the left side of the last block before the Slanty Road of Death.
Cool! It works fairly well for my current house, past houses, and those of a bunch of my friends. The little red pin is never on target, but the correct house is always in the picture somewhere.
A few of my frinds couldn’t find their houses; not in a “oh, thats not it” way, but more of a “I don’t recognize that” way. Is the mapping inaccurate or do some people simply lack the sense of spacial relations required to interpret an image taken from an angle we rarely see and with different landmarks then we are used to? One woman didn’t remember if she was the second house in from the street or not!
I don’t want to even talk about the months I spent living HERE
House. I live next door to a preacher. His church is the long building on the right. It’s the only thing that keeps me from being hit by lightning :D.
Work
The big outline is the hospital I work for, but I’m in the building across the street (X marks the spot).
Top row, second from left, with the dark roof.
And where I work, complete with a picture of my car and a coworker’s scooter. It’s the white car on the left side of the picture, to the left of the island with one tree near the bottom, angled to the northeast in the picture. I must have worked early that day, because when I go in in the morning, I always park there. I have for years.
I just tried this little app and its pretty dang cool. I especially like the zooming over the earth and swooping down on your target thing. It’s SO movie-special-effects-like.
I kept trying to zoom in closer and closer. The interface makes you wish you could zoom right down to window level so you could notice the brickwork and smell the apple pie on the sill.
Good stuff.
That’s strange… there is a whole gap of missing information a couple miles NW of Las Vegas. Wonder why??? 
House I grew up in/live in for a couple more weeks
See that huge building with a big open area on the right? Well, go up to the first left to right street, that’s mine. Going from left to right on that street, my driveway is the first one on the “top” of the street. Hard to see my house because a lot is blocked by a huge maple tree. That huge building was my elementary school.
Here is where I am going to live.
It’s the whole town, cause I don’t have a place yet :smack:
Mine is in here (Though I won’t tell you exactly how to get to my house…)
Funny, I never pictured Emerald City looking like that.
Jeepers. A few blocks up from my house (the address feature pointed to the wrong house) we have a rather exclusive family living in an estate. I always wondered what their place looked like, but what with the gates and highwalls and guards* I would never know.
well now I do!
*they actually purchased a home across the street because it looked into their estate and thus compromised their privacy!
The swath that ascends left to right is a transmission line right-of-way. My father had some concern when they were building it in the late 60s that they might have had to break the dam on his pond (also pictured), depending upon where the power line actually ended up. The rectangular spot upwards and to the right of the pond is my parents’ house.
My present home and my high school (class of '75) are both here, in West L.A. about a mile and a half east of the Santa Monica city limit.
It’s the large rectangular structure below and to the right of the running track. I don’t think the picture here is as good as the OP’s, though.
I didn’t realize how closely packed the buildings in my neighborhood were!
The red pushpin was in the wrong place, but that’s OK. Our city website has a great aerial photo section - you can compare what things look like know to photos from all the way back to 1937!
(HAH! Now I have proof that the creek behind my house isn’t just a drainage ditch - it was there almost forty years ago!)
