This should be in the cool sites section, but NOBODY reads the stuff in there, so here you go:

Go go mapquest.com and enter your home address. Then click on Map It. After that, click on the tab that says "Aerial Photo" at the top of the map that it gives you. Zoom in. Creepy huh!??

You can look up all kinds of places. I even looked at the WTC and it was creepy.

Wow, that is cool. I looked at my sorority house, and since it is right by the school I saw all the buildings on campus.

It didn't work for my home or school address (both are in SC) but when I entered my elementary school address from when I lived in MD it showed an aerial view. I wonder if it hasn't gotten to all areas of the country?

This really is pretty neat.

Looked at our neighborhood and then took a look at the old Alma Mater. I think the Delts were having a party with the Alpha Gams next door!

I can tell a few things about the pict of my campus.

1. It was taken after this August - when the newest parking lot was completed.

2. Was taken in probably in August . The trees are still green, but the grass is burned up. Before the heavy fall rains we had this year.

3. Was taken on a weekend or friday afternoon, because of the number of vehicles inthe pk lots. Some cars - but skeleton crew. If friday afternoon - was in summer because of summer hours.

4. I need a life.

5. I like Terraserver.com. You can get closer, but only in B/W. One of my littles actually could see the fort in his backyard he used to play in.

The pictures appear to be fairly recent. I couldn't find my town (surprise surprise) but I found a lot of other neat/creepy stuff.

This pic had to be taken a few months ago (I looked up the picture of my real home...the one my parents are still at). My sister still had the old car (before she wrecked it). That is so freaky though. I can't believe that have pictures of everything. Makes me feel like I'm in that Will Smith movie "Enemy of the State". :eek: ;)

I can't get any closer than a very broad aerial view! I tried 3 different addresses!

I wanna be able to see my car in the driveway!

Select Advanced Find, then address search. Enter your addy, confirm thats what you want ans select satelite photo/areial view.

Its another place to spy. Its only b/w, but it gets WAY closer. Also the picts are a bit dated. about 5 or 6 years old. Cool tho.

Some addresses show up with closer views than others because the pictures are taken by different people, different times, etc. I know that the one of my house has been updated since October since the one in Oct. was so close that I could see the cars in the driveway and this time, I can see my house, but the driveway is not clear enough to see cars. I still recommend trying world trade center, NY, NY. It is very creepy.
