Wouldn't know personally. But hey, we've got plenty of smog, noise and crime to make up for it right? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Well, a friend's 5 year old grandson described this area like this once while they were coming to visit. "Wow! He lives out past the Horses!" As if to the world is broken down like this. YOu drive through the city, through the shopping district where the malls are. Then you get to the housing areas where lots of homes and apartments are. The occasional 7-11 or grocery store. Then you get out where there's bridges and rivers. THen you get to the farm lands of Corn or Wheat. Then you see the Cows and finally you see the Horses.... His point was that I live PAST the horses! I wonder if the rim of the Earth was next in his list... lol Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

VaBeachGuy 12 Posted April 21, 2004 It looks like that one is only for the U.S., I am looking for one that will show the whole world though. I don't know if one exists though, since if the US were to take detailed pictures of Germany or England it would be considered spying lol. I did find a better site, though it didn't really give me a better picture of my area. In fact it was older and in black and white lol. But I did find a few interesting (to me) ones. Here's my childhood home in Maryland (I moved away from it when I was 19): Click For Spoiler This is a larger view of the neighborhood: Click For Spoiler And here's the school I went to from 8th grade trhough 12th grade. Click For Spoiler I got these from http://terraserver.microsoft.com/address.aspx If I find one for other countries other then the US I will post the address.

Jim Phaserman 0 Posted April 22, 2004 This picture is kinda dated, so it may not be accurate, but this is the approx. area of my house. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Ace 0 Posted April 22, 2004 Looks like a nice location, Jim. Thanks again, VBG. If this works, it should be a piece of my neighborhood. Mine's the upper left one with the pool; the neighborhood's pretty much surrounded by farmland. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
