    The streetview cars are a lie.

    They actually have nanotech cameras installed in your teeth.

    my address has no street view so the video was just a guy running then a frozen screen.

    some guy did this thing to an Arcade Fire song

    put the address of your childhood home in and watch what happens

    I swear it's magic



    also let's talk about our childhood homes here
    Your address doesn't contain enough Street-View and/or Google Maps data to 100% enjoy this experience.

    Uh...kay.

    Well. 5412 hwy 212 n Covington, GA still looks like it did when I left. Add to that a shitty song and some dude running towards a camera for 5 minutes and I guess this just isn't for me.

    Okay that's pretty funny. Video shows the guy running down a street but the map view shows him running in an open field. lol

    How exactly does streetview work anyway

    I mean I am assuming that they did not actually drive down each and every street with a camera pointed in every direction

    but that's the only way I can imagine to get those pictures

    that is literally what they do

    Man I wish I could have seen this when the car drove down my street.

    This thing sure did give a great view of where my house used to be, which was bought by the city and demolished and has now been a fenced off field for 5 years. Doesn't really do anything for me, but I suspect my mom would cry, so I sure won't be sending it along to her.

    I was born in West Covina, CA and my house was near a landfill. I have no memories of our house there.
    I never lived in a place for more than 2 years until moving to Florida. Thank you Black Monday.
