OT: Flying to 125 N. 1st Street, Minneapolis
« on: July 11, 2005, 03:30:31 pm »

Hi folks,

Just played a bit with the new toy from google: google earth (http://earth.google.com/) and searched for 125 N. First Street, Minneapolis (JRiver Home), here is what I found.



Flying from one address to the other is particularly impressive. I'm really enjoying this.

It's off by half a block ;)

The building is at the top of the block which looks like a diamond in your picture.

BTW, the building under the word street is the new Federal Reserve.

And you can see my bike in the sandy blob in the middle of the diamond!

Try turning on the 3D buildings and looking at them from an angled view. Someone at Google has waaaay to much time on their hands!
