Google The Home You Lived In

Wow! I just googled the home I lived in when I was born, went down to street level view, and saw the front of my old house. Then went by my old grade school and high school. A trip down memory lane without all the airplane rides and stuff.

Cool.
I don't know the address of where my parents and I lived in Oakland after I was born. The house we lived in in souther Oregon burned to the ground. There are places I drive by up here in the northern Willamette Valley where I have lived and it interesting to see how they have changed. The most fun I have with google maps is the occasional glimpses of BRC that one can get. #2 on the list is scoping out what crops are being grown on the farm that I used to work on out side of Terrebonne Oregon.

Wait! I found my birth certificate and it has the address. I am going there now!

A nice small cottage.

I guess I'd have to google the house in Cambridge. 79 something. Milton Road. Then there will be the ...
No, it was Milton Road School. Maybe I can back track from that.

I googled my childhood house in Plano, TX. The trees sure are a lot bigger than I remember them.

I go by the house I grew up at in Butte MT every time I am there.

I am appalled every time I go by that they have not torn that shed down yet where my Uncle used to
play a little game called "ride the pony" with me when I was a little lad.

For a few years as a kid I lived in a Mobile, AL town called Hillsdale Heights. I Google Street Viewed it, and our old house was still there but almost the entire neighborhood has been leveled! Freaky... the streets are there but 90% of the houses are gone.

I was born in the Naval Hospital in Oakland. I know darn well it has been torn down. I think it is a parking garage these days.

Too bad they don't have a "wayback machine" for satellite pics from 50 years ago.

The CIA might have them. And it's cooperating with other agencies to post them for environmental information services.
The images have been artificially degraded.

I can see my house I grew up in with google but its not a real clear shot. Kinda fuzzy even with the glasses

I drive by every so often when I am visiting there, it has had some additions done to it.

I grew up on Old Mission Pen. north of Traverse City, Michigan. Used to be nothing but farms and woods with a few subs. Perfect for hot summer days riding mini-bikes all over it mooching the cherries etc when we were thirsty and hungry

Now it appears there are more subs and less orchards, at least the cherry varieties. Now there are a few Vineyards.

I googled one of my old Navy housing addresses from when we lived in VA in the 60s. Grass and trees and some very old cracked pavement roads, no housing. Across the street where the cornfields were? Houses.

If I go outside and turn around I can see the house that my father and uncles built. I still live in the house I grew up in.

I google mapped my house and the neighborhood hasn't been updated in over 10 years. Nearby Beale Airforce base has also been blanketed with an inaccurate map.
