It's pretty neat, but it kind of loses a lot when your parents still own the house you grew up in.
Plus, for me specifically, when google did the street view of the area, no one was home and the place was completely deserted because my parents were up in Waterloo for 5 months while I was in the hospital, so all it is a bright, sunny picture of an empty driveway.
And that's another thing, I realize that they shot the video at dusk for the effect, but I'm pretty sure 99% of google street view is recorded during the middle of the day, so it's a little jarring going from guy running in the dark to high noon shots of your old house.

Shut up Francis. Something about Vietnam. Horseshit.

This is amazing. I didn't expect much because I've moved so many times as a kid, I mean if my family stayed in the same house for more than 2 years it was a new record. But the place I spent the majority of my childhood in was somewhere definitely special.
The sad thing for me wasn't that my old house and neighbourhood had changed, but remained exactly the same. Even the pool and huge backyard mini-forest we had are still there. Road's the same, hill's the same and even the old railing that bisected our small, downhill culdesac.

You should try moving through streets with streetview. I'm looking at Muldoon and its a nice July day, then I click forward, the camera moves about ten feet and its like a hurricane. Very odd.
This would be more impressive if the address actually matched up to my house. As it is now, he's running down the 7 lane highway that my house backs up to and the circular view thing just shows my fence and the fence across the street.

I won't lie this made me tear up a fair amount.
The best part was when the birds came and landed on the crude drawing of a cock.

Has anybody tried typing 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue Northwest, Washington DC 20500-0004 in there yet?
I would like to see what happened to the old beach house my grandfather used to own though
So.
