google street views features portland

Posted: October 10, 2007

this is insane! i swear there are so many things i am starting to think are possible. like me posting on my blog consistently. :( getting back at it here i swear.

google has released a thing called google street views that allows you to see images from just about any location in a city. they only have it available for about 6 or so cities but guess what? portland is one of them! not sure who pulled it off but a big thank you goes out from nerds like me in the pdx area!

i could sit here and continue to explain this or you can check it out for yourself. it took me back to the first time i discovered google earth. i can’t imagine what it is going to be like when they merge the street view functionality in. holy directions skunk king!!!
