Andy Posted August 6, 2013 Author Report Share Posted August 6, 2013 I don't understand, I can't get a street view of where I live < he says with tongue firmly planted in cheek! > Is there an actual "Street" on which you live ?? For the google cars to take the view of ?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Removed #5 Posted August 6, 2013 Report Share Posted August 6, 2013 Is there an actual "Street" on which you live ?? For the google cars to take the view of ?? Well, of course there is! But I don't think any self respecting "car" would drive down it, 4WD and trucks are the normal mode of transportation! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MidnightPaws Posted August 6, 2013 Report Share Posted August 6, 2013 and too many neighbors, too close for me! I wish we lived somewhere with no neighbors. But luckily it's a really dog friendly neighborhood and they'd help me catch my dogs if they ever get out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
love4Luna Posted August 6, 2013 Report Share Posted August 6, 2013 OK, mine is downright CREEPY! I searched and found my house and street, but also found MYSELF. Yep, you can see me getting out of the car... Sorry, they're blurry. Across from me isn't really exciting. Its just the neighbor's back yard. Looks like mine. Lol The pics are quite old. I haven't had that car in a good 3 or more years. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlueWolf Posted August 6, 2013 Report Share Posted August 6, 2013 Let me give you a little tour around my home city Here's my street. Nothing interesting to be honest. It's green, nicely outside the busiest part of the city but not too far away from all the shops. My room is the one on the left with the two plants in the windowsill. Boring view as you can see but that doesn't mean the area it is boring. The city centre is the most interesting to watch imo. It's a no-car zone so sadly no good streetview photos of what it looks like. My previous neighbourhood. You US people are probably gonna scream at this, but these are the kind of houses we have. Who needs gardens and big cars anyway? Lol. This is an extremely old neighbourhood, built right outside the original city walls. People that worked in the city lived here, all packed together. The benefit was that they could profit from the city's protection. Now, right outside the city this is most of the view you get. This entire area used to be sea. We've built dikes and dunes around it and used windmills to pump the water out. Most of the city still lies below sea level. So sometimes you see things like this where houses are located below the water level These kind of windmills were used to pump and keep the water out. Nowadays they're all replaced by machines but most windmills are still here. This one, for example, is still used to make bread I believe.

Jay Posted August 6, 2013 Report Share Posted August 6, 2013 The pic of the row houses is what a lot of New England is like, especially Boston. Very narrow streets and no grassy areas. I LOVE those kind of areas though! Less land the better LOL. I don't like yard work much lol Let me give you a little tour around my home city Here's my street. Nothing interesting to be honest.
