go to maps.google.com and hit the "street view" button in the top right corner. then find a major city, and click anywhere that the roads are outlined in blue. then don't move for like an hour because it's cool

it doesn't work for every city. so far, i think it's only got san francisco, NYC, denver, miami, and las vegas. could be more, who knows.

anyway, it rules. it's like being outside without actually having to go outside

I love the street view. You can see my front door, but the address is a little off. I also use it on our website for work.

Cool stuff Bob. The first place I googled was Vegas, because I want to go there pretty badly.
