You know Google Street View means business when you see them amassing a fleet 30 strong. This is merely the squadron of CCCCs (Chevy Cobalt Camera Cars) that happened to get spotted and reported to Gizmodo.com. Who knows what armies are being amassed by Google in the dark corners of the globe. My advice to you all is to remember to look left then right and left again to check for CCCCs before you... Exit porn shops and strip joints, pay drug dealers and hookers or even scratch/pick your nose for that matter.

GOOGLE MAPS STREET VIEW! (Or The Google Has Landed!)

My friend RR and I always talked about driving around Manhattan with a camera on our roof, crisscrossing every street snapping photos until we had a virtual, walk-thru map of the city. Now, nearly 10 years later BEHOLD Google Maps STREET VIEW. Just go to maps.google.com . Click on STREET VIEW, zoom in enough to pick a street outlined in blue and BLAMMO you are on that street. And once you have planted your virtual feet on the virtual street you can choose a direction and start walking. I don't know what cities are completed but Manhattan, New York is and Portland, Maine is not. Oh my science this is cool! By the way that’s the NYC Hell’s Angels Club House up there on the right.
