This week I saw a blog post by Morris Tsai that talked about how Google Street View has rolled out in a big way around Cincinnati. I decided to take it for a spin and I was blown away by how comprehensive the coverage is. When I lived in Berkeley (not super far from the Google hive-mind) I got to see the major streets in my neighborhood covered but now Google has photos of obscure side streets and rural areas around Cincinnati available. You can even see my mother-in-law’s house out in the middle of farm country by the Indiana border. It looks like the coverage of mid-sized U.S. cities has gotten pretty good across the board.

Oh and yes my house is in there. Here is the observatory near my house if you want to wander my neighborhood.
