I was bored and Googled my address yesterday. I printed the picture to show my family and noticed a tree in my yard that had been cut down months ago. |

(I'm kidding, but I wonder how often something like this has has happened)
I have no idea how often it's updated. |

The view of my house still has my El Camino in the driveway. I sold it in January.

| | Registered User | | Join Date: Oct 2003 Location: France | | i bought a house in a village. And in this village, there's a lovely commercial center with 10 little shops or so, which seems to be here from several years. When i looked for the house in google earth, the commercial center didn't exist.  |
