Google and the Old Homestead
Sunday, June 5th, 2011I consider myself fairly computer literate, but technology never ceases to amaze me. A number of years ago I became aware of NASA’s technology of photographing outer space. This technology has become common place in a street view on Google Maps. Just 5 minutes ago I took myself for a current virtual tour of my old stomping ground of South 27th/ 28th, Sarah Street, and Larkins Way. I traveled down South 27th Street to find Grebs Bakery. It looked like it was Closed. Continuing I found my Aunt Marie’s home. Then I turned down Larkins Way and saw the updates to my childhood home. I like what the new owners have done with the place. Nice blue real wood, flag and white fence. Just like I was there in person.
