Word on the Street

Google Earth has expanded it's satellite views of North America (and, in fact, the world) with a relatively new feature called "Street View". These are surface images taken by ground vehicles equipped with cameras which take regular 360° pictures as they drive along roadways. Here are a few "Street View" images that you might recognize:

The street view cars have been through much of the U.S. already, and have recently visited Winterpeg (the picture of the street view car at the top of this article was actually taken in Winnipeg). So far, I have passed two of these cars: One on Academy Road (around 49°52'27.53"N, 97°11'51.49"W), and the other on Brookside Boulevard (around 49°57'28.13"N, 97°13'47.15"W). It's quite probable that you'll be able to pick out the tan Corolla I was driving in one of these locations when the pictures are published.
