I read a blurb on Google's Street View not that long ago. I then went to New York to stay at a hotel that I knew where it was, but had never stayed there before. So I needed parking information and was doing my regular old "search parking" around the area. But then I noticed the little "Street View" box and started playing with it. Within seconds, I found the scene pictured above -- a parking garage right around the corner (basically under the hotel). Not only did I find what I wanted, but I could also see it so I'll recognize it driving down the street. Pretty freakin' cool. To be sure this was tied to the Sheraton, I called their desk and asked about parking, to which I was told about a garage on 52nd street -- exactly the one I found. Even cooler.
Since then, the thing has gotten very popular. But not so much for finding directions, but for picking apart all the random daily life scenes caught by the camera car driving through major cities. Here is the top 15 sightings.
