I'm still hoping the rest of the city gets included in StreetView soon.

My neighborhood up in Two Harbors must also have been updated this summer. We can see the kid little swimming pool in the back yard and also noticed that our new car was on the street in front of our house. Aerial photos are really an improvement. Plus we have street view!

I give my boyfriend crap that the giant raspberry bush is taking over the porch (I don't care, I just think porch raspberries are funny).

I told him this morning that they can be seen from SPACE!

New in version 5 of Google Earth - You can view older imagery and see how locations have changed over time.

To do this, click the Historical Imagery button  (looks like a clock) in the Google earth toolbar. Move the slider at the top left corner of the 3D viewer to see imagery of the past.

The most recent image of our house was Aug 29, 2010.
