Show us where you live (Literally)

Here's the aireal view of my home.

Steps:

1. Go to http://local.live.com
2. Type in your address at the top
3. Switch to Hybrid View
4. Using the tool bar switch to Birds Eye View.
5. Use the compass to change the viewing angle.
6. Screen shot it and post it.

Works best in metro areas.

Note the car in the driveway disappears when I change the view. Must have been taken on a different day.

Here's the best I can do. You live in a city and I live in the country so the camaera is not as good. I'm the house in the center with 2 acres of land...a row of trees and the road going out to the 1 car garage at the back of the property (two car attached also) on the left side of School at the bend.

That's very cool! Once I'm done playing I'll post some arials.

I can't quite figure out how to grab a screenshot, but the pic of our house is at least two years old. Doesn't have the driveway I put in two summers ago, or the fence I built the summer before that. Much better resolution than Google Earth, though.

Mine was taken before my house was built - it's just dirt

Here is my house, it's the one in the upper left. As well as the best high school baseball field in south east Wisconsin.

All 4 angles. FYI - 'round here you paint your roof white to combat the sun! You can see my token chunk of grass in there somewhere .

Sause, is that appleton ave? Been a while since I've been there. Grew up in MF and went to North HS (when there was a North HS...)

Any more property like yours around? I'll be retiring soon and looking for the warmer climes... Beside, most midwesterners retire to AZ...it's tradition...

Appleton? Humph... That's pilgrim, right by village hall, library, the cop shop. They expanded it about 10 years ago. I spent one year at North for ninth grade. Oh yeah, and it's sause.

The closest I can get is 100 yds & it's really grainy. Can't find that bird's eye view you're talkin about.


Edit- there is none for me. That's what I get for livin' in the sticks...........:cross:

Here I am. My condo is right in the middle of the picture.

Mines the one with the red truck in the driveway

Truth be said, I just opted not to wait. There out here but the $ tag went out the roof over the last 3 years. Like FL when housing used to be cheap, AZ was similar but then CA people came over... Reality has brought it down a bit but still ridiculous. My house is 2.5x what I paid for it in 2000 for fair market value. Look at that horse cover on one of the pics? That's where they can throw me under when I'm done so why do I care what they sell for nowadays. Just makes my taxes higher.

You can't see it, but there is a sign on the front door that says

BEWARE OF THE NINJA

(this is from google earth, because the site linked too has terrible tiny black and white images of my street)

edit: I just figured out that there is no bird's eye view available of my area. using a different address I got those options.

You know I typed Sause and then I "fixed it". And then fixed it again . So what, did they move the school then <kidding>? East HS was way further south than pilgrim. Must be an off-campus ball-park. Whatever, I'll drive thru next trip up.

This program is pretty cool!

Looks like WA is hogging all the grass from AZ

There I am. Right below the lone tree.

The only place that really matters "The BackYard Brewery"

Yeah "off-campus", east is couple miles east of here, go figure. Just make you feel better if there were still two high schools then I would have gone to north too.

Wow, this satellite location stuff is amazing. This is such a good shot of my house!



They even happened to get a shot on the same day as of my neighbor's daughter's wedding!



Incredible!

Wow, I lived a few blocks away from there with my ex-girlfriend a few years ago. She married the owner of Le Voyeur; you might even know her.

My place:


It's just an apartment, but I am right next to the water, which is nice. Those two red circles show my two balconies. Here's where I brew:



The red brick building at the bottom of the multi-buidling complex is the bar I work at. The red circle is the back alley where I do my actual brewing. We have big gas burners we use to boil crawfish and snow crab, so I get to use them, and I don't have to pay for fuel! I chill my beer in one of the huge sinks inside after filling it with ice from our ice machine. Brewing at a brewpub is the best.

hmm....saying Bird's eye view isnt available for my area for some reason. I wonder if its because ft huachuca is right next door

I live pretty much underneath the blimp. Well pretty damn close anyways. Its our little weather station. Blimp going down means bad weather ahead.

But trust me, from the amount of stuff you can get in this town, its not doing its job too well.

The picture of my house is at least 7 years old, grainy and long distance. I am sure glad they don't have images of me building my underground meth lab...

The red circle is me... that large area behind us is a 200+ acre horse 'ranch'. This image must have been taken in the winter as you probably couldn't even see our house when the trees are full of leaves...

Mines the front house with the detached garage (brewery) behind. Must be the previous person beacuse I don't have an orange VW Beetle in the backyard.


and the block...

No, I don't know anyone that works at or owns Le Voyeur, but I have been known to visit from time to time . . .

Good to hear from a former Olympian! You may appreciate the fact that I'm enjoying a FishTale Organic IPA right now.

Man DB, how close is your closest neighbor? I'd LOVE a patch of desert like that. :cross: No wonder the beasties love you.

They're acre lots. Lucky I bought it when I did cuz I couldn't afford it for what they're going for now... It's a quiet cul de sac, just me and the vermin (4 leggers, 8 leggers, no leggers). And swmbo of course.

That's superb. :rockin: I've been out that way to visit on a few occasions over the past few years and really love it out there.

Ize

Cool, but I can't get a very good image either because I'm in the sticks.

edit: This is a bit better.

If you look close enough at the back deck, you can see the Big Green Egg and a bucket if icy beer!

As proof that I have nothing to do today at work, here is the entire region!!!! the shots off of local.live.com (at least in the boston area) are very up to date. By my estmates, these were taken within 1 year of now.
