Woah!  We're online!

Google Maps Streets View - Kansas City

Guessing this was early fall for Downtown?

How we ever lived without Google and Live maps, I'll never know.  It was the Stone Age before.

Maybe because Google spent more time on the Kansas side than they did in Missouri side and you guys all know that Kansas City is in Missouri  :D  This is also called KCRag and not JoCoRag so no one in JoCo ever comes to this forum.  :shock:

Yeah, I think mine was on a Saturday, too. By the way, I noticed that St. Louis didn't have Street View yet. Interesting that they did Kansas City first. Then again, they did Indianapolis before either KC or StL, so it probably doesn't mean anything.  :)

Can't really nail the whole thing--the hours and days can change on a block by block basis.  Look at You Say Tomato at 28th and Holmes.  Move east / west along 28th and you'll see a different day.

It would be neat for a time stamp.  Provided it wasn't taken on a day when I was walking down the street and I'd called in sick or something.

Speaking of walking down the street...has anyone found a pedestrian?

i would say that the pic/image/film/whatever was taken in late july or august. trees are full, my garage door is open and the grass is brown and dry looking. saturday or sunday. noticed my neighbor across the street has 2 of his kids cars in his driveway.

Almost the same thing on my street. My car is visible in the picture, and the timing coincides with the restoration of a house next store so the photos is less than 6 months old. It's not so scalable if you zoom one could read my car tags but of course this is the free version.

What version does "Big Brother" have?

P.S.
Its possible to view the vehicle that captured the data By pushing the forward arrow on the street view and then grab the photo and scroll the 360 view up. Furthermore, I know the photo was taken on a Tuesday as My recycle bin is out and overturned.
