I've Been Everywhere

No post today, because yesterday I went to [49°54'12.17"N, 97° 9'23.13"W] on my way to [49°53'31.62"N, 97° 8'50.44"W], before going with Julie to [49°53'40.58"N, 97°12'51.26"W]. On the way home, we dropped off at [49°54'14.08"N, 97°11'56.33"W]. Perhaps not exactly everywhere, but a very busy day nonetheless.

The View

On Tuesday, Google Street View was updated to include the streets of Winnipeg. Now you can cruise the city from the comfort of your desk and see all of the places I've talked about.

Points of interest include:

o The Polo Park area
o The Forks
o Hazco (pictured)
o Julie's sister's apartment complex on Quail Ridge Road (her building is the one with the blue Dodge parked out front)
o The RCC on Wellington Crescent
o Shiloh's favorite place to eat (49°54'32.01"N, 97°12'21.03"W)

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.
