Google Street View is scary and awesome.

[da]

Google Street View has been busy.

As identified by gmaps_sights, Florence, Italy (that link is to the Fake David in front of Palazzo Vecchio. Hey, that looks familiar.)

(Can you find the Mormon missionaries?)

...Maybe over Christmas break I'll take a few hours, curl up with my laptop and some nice Italian wine, and go on tour.

I have tried using the street view to identify a new restaurant before going there several times. Usually my brain fails me by selecting the wrong things for visual identification. I'll wander up and down the block not recognizing it, and then realize "hey, wait, I'm looking for that big green truck with the graffiti on the back.. no way that's still here".
