Yay! I’m so excited for the Cleveland street views because I can see the house I grew up in (which my grandmother still lives in)! That’s really cool.

Poor Fairbanks, now everyone’s going to know just how much of a dump it is.

The Anchorage street view is a bit screwy. C Street now goes through from Dimond to Minnesota, but the street view cuts off the parts that aren’t on the map.

Well, really, there’s actually 2 National Parks in this update. You see, the Cleveland Area has the only urban National Park in the United States. Placemark: Google Maps / Google Earth

And the website for the Cuyahoga Valley National Park: http://www.nps.gov/cuva/

One feature that has gone largely unnoticed is the censoring of Microsoft, Apple and Yahoo logos in the street view imagery.

When are these people gonna drive by my house???? That’s so irritating, they have imagery for a bunch of shacks in the middle of nowhere Alaska and yet they don’t have a picture of my house in suburban Chicago.

I live in Albuquerque and it’s great to see my city on there! I was surprised at the extent of the coverage — they also included Rio Rancho, Santa Fe, and a lot of the distant small towns away from the metro area. Curiously, there are plenty of streets right in the heart of ABQ that didn’t get captured, like mine for instance. I have to wonder how some entire centrally-located neighborhoods were overlooked.

Hats off to anyone who can find a ‘drive through’ redwood tree. Not sure if there are any caught on camera though!
