@ahmetalpbalkan Good point, I cannot find this anywhere else at the moment. btw, you've been hellbanned for about 52 days now, so no one can see your comments unless they have showdead=on.

@ahmetalpbalkan comment on hating Lisp books seems to have done it; your karma average is only .22.

I like them plotting more of the Y axis points of place. But I really look forward to the day when we can move on X, seeing the changes in these over time.

There are a few research projects to reconstruct historical views by automatically aligning and extracting building outlines from old photographs, e.g. this one from a few years ago: http://4d-cities.cc.gatech.edu/atlanta/

Google presumably has a ton of data to do it going forward somewhat more easily, though, if filling in pre-streetview periods isn't a priority.

So is there anything other than this one comic book store an Legoland San Diego available? How can we find 'em? I'd love to go for a stroll through, say, the British Museum.

Not quite the same thing and it doesn't include the British museum but you may find this interesting: http://www.googleartproject.com/

could also be the fact that most of his submissions are from his own site.

It's part of Google's recently launched program to do Places/Street View photos of businesses in select cities
