On the street where you live

Microsoft has a website called Terraserver which allows you to enter your street address and it will show you a photo of your street from space. I believe it only covers the U.S.A.

The clarity is not great but here's 230 Second St. in 1995. To the left of the red arrow you can see 2 buses lined up at the bus terminal. Further to the left is South Main.

Thanks Har! That is a cool picture!
Boy, great minds think alike! I just found a service of my county appraiser's office online where I can get an ariel view of my house, and I took a desktop photo of it! It's a photo of my roof and gives my lot lines and measurements!
This was 2 nights ago.
What a coincidence! :smile:
