The Google map craze

I love checking out Google's street view maps especially looking at places I'm familiar with.

Apparently it's an actual craze. According to Fox News, people actually hunt the maps for bizarre images.

Here's their story ... if you've found an interesting image in the SGV or Whittier you'd like to share, post a link in the comments section. I'll put all the links together in a post later today (that is if there are any).

Frank,
Being somewhat focused on Bank 211s for 30 years I'm amazed how the rules change;
since Billy the Kid the #1 rule to robbing a bank was "Casing", checking out layout of bank, where to hitch the pony-get-a-ways, streets out of town, fastest route to hideout, location of Sheriff Office etc. Now just click Google Maps.If they are lucky they can see where security guards are standing and where the Armored Money Truck parks to make cash drop.
