We're sorry, street view is currently unavailable due to high demand. Please try again later!

wasn't there one w/ some chick flashing the van?

I'm so brilliant, at first I thought, "Why did they find a dead deer in the ditch and throw it back up on the road?"

I still can't get that one to work

Will you accept a kidnapping?

i've been caught by google street view twice now.

Also pot bust.

I will not accept the kidnapping success story. I will only accept a shot of someone chasing another person with a bloody knife raised high!

Landmarks and skyscrapers I can see. But ordinary people's homes? Christ some of these spoiled internet assholes need a dose of reality. Motherfucking hate these people.

there's this jogger guy i always see around my bf's neighborhood and it turns out he's in the google streetview picture of my bf's house!!

I just discovered that google streetview existed yesterday. Accidentally. I inadvertently clicked something or another trying to see what part of Auckland my new apartment was in when suddenly a vivid, sunny, interactive panorama was presented to me and I was like OMG MY NEW LIFE and it was crazy.

Gathering the imagery for Street View requires quite a bit of driving; as such, we take safety very seriously. Unfortunately, accidents do happen -- as some people have noticed, one of our Street View cars hit a deer while driving on a rural road in upstate New York. Due to several user requests using the "Report a concern" tool, these images are no longer available in Street View.

OK so its gone already? Anyone get a screenie?

London's up

I drove past the car, and then it pulled out behind me and was sat there as we waited at lights. I really hope I'm in there (although the car's on Google Maps already at the previous owner's house).

Can't see meself at Camberwell.

bit creeped out by this tbh

My house is the one with the black window frames and 'For Sale' sign outside. I'm at work right now, if anyone wants to go round and rob me.

wtf are you all doing posting your addresses on the internet

what?

Can't see meself at Camberwell.

Pics are taken from the other side of the road from where I saw the car :(

my living room window = above and to the right of the blue arrow:

I'm going to come round and murder you or some lurker is

It's the quiet ones you have to worry about.

Am expecting paparazzi when I get home.

ledge, call 999, say you're having a stroke and see how long they take.

fucking hell, what a mess.
sorry everyone, any mods wanna make it look pretty, feel free.

also ledge, soz!

i'm complaining to my mp.

fair enough, tell mine too, it'll give him something to do.

my mate just sent me photos of both the outside of my house and my girlfriends. theyve got the numbers wrong which is a bit less unnerving. my upstairs window is open though, and it also makes my house look lovely, i hope it doesnt mean we get robbed

It can't get past the gates of my poncey estate. Take that, The Man!

Bloody typical - Derby, Nottingham, Coventry...no Leicester...we are truly the Forgotten City.

Amazing quality though - seems better than a lot of the US streetviews - are they using a different camera?

And they seemed to have gone around Birmingham city centre in the dark...

It looks like Pringles are really popular in Kabul!

Big deal, right? Ok, click on "See More Dates" and then click on 2013.

they clearly ate their owners and now live in the big house

Oh no!

puppy mill?

They might've been huntin' dogs.

there's a lot more random garbage in the background these days than a decade ago

Not technically street view - it's a photosphere - but this is the first one I remember taken inside a helicopter in flight:

The decline of Lytham Road Blackpool 2008-2022

Sheesh

My god that whole street looks like a neutron bomb hit it slowly between 2009-2023

Big impact sometime between 2009 and 2014.

9eyes is an entertaining Tumblr of Google Streetviews.

Some of them, you'll be like No Way. But then you check the real thing, and you're all like Well Whaddya Know.

yeah, was just checking it out... great little vignettes of life

Throwback to when I happened upon this incredible image while looking at streetview (posted upthread but broken link)

https://scontent-lga3-2.xx.fbcdn.net/v/t1.6435-9/59064548_10161595951875304_3783603284237877248_n.jpg?_nc_cat=101&ccb=1-7&_nc_sid=86c6b0&_nc_ohc=708JfTdX45oQ7kNvwHWBida&_nc_oc=Adk8WjlhNJSxnsE-NG259ZBSKlXkFViULgpLSGFFBq-uYGtEN86-N_DB3-fPZiSr7MCZZnvQc2QX6niMDjb5WiOI&_nc_zt=23&_nc_ht=scontent-lga3-2.xx&_nc_gid=q2uWtCr1h7AdQZTjDCUlPw&oh=00_Afmjzh-xNZt6JqPKxN9NeKFTLxiAChkoLaP4QcjGHPk4GA&oe=69691CC3

That looked to me like it caught someone jumping off the cliff. Took me several seconds to read the right image.

A few years back I visited the site of the former Kai Tak Airport in Hong Kong, which in 2018 was still mostly a flat construction yard:
https://maps.app.goo.gl/shkqUU9b3UtNgZdp8

Now it's covered in tower blocks, which I suppose is a testament to awesome power of communism:
https://maps.app.goo.gl/HDrYioMb9eHDTTwj7

I remember thinking that the same process in the UK would take ERROR amount of time because it just wouldn't happen. What remained of the runway is now a bunch of former COVID quarantine buildings. I have no idea what they're used for nowadays.

So, communism at the very least is good at housing people. But do any of them own a Cadillac? No, probably not.
