I checked our street on GE, and was amused that in the space between approximately one property edge and the other, the cars in our driveway switched. It must have been two passes on different days or times, stitched at that point. Even more amusing, the car caught Mrs. B. on her way to get the mail.

I saw a Google StreetView car last September in Freeport, Maine…I was too excited to pose. Looking at the updated views for the area, I think the car was actually doubling back toward the interstate and not recording anything, since the pictures appear to have been taken while headed in the opposite direction from what I saw.

The Street View shots of my place 45 minutes north of Tokyo were shot within the past 4 months.
