Wow. I can see my dad standing in my parents' front yard now (they live on a corner).
Can anyone tell when these were taken? It looks like last spring.
I wonder if there's a way to toggle between the new and old version. It doesn't matter much now, but I hope they are being archived so that people will one day have nearly complete street-level views of Columbus (and other cities) from decades ago.

Interesting. Most of the shots in my neighborhood are still old, and the new shots only appear at intersections.
Looking at the new shots is a bit theraputic; they were taken on a partly sunny day in the summer with green lawns and leaves on the trees.

At least that's Google's usual course of action.

Move away from the corner and the house re-constructs itself.
Given the progress on the house and the green color of the tree leaves, I'm guessing the new GS were done May or June last year.
Edit: Hmm, the code for embedding the photo doesn't work, but the link does.

That was my guess too based on the photos of my neighborhood. There was some major landscape work being done on a house up the street that is in the pictures and a bike that appeared last spring/summer is chained to the bike rack.

Sweet. I live on an intersection (just a T, not a cross) and it's in high res. Too bad half the pic is my bushes.
Appears to be from summer and its before August because my garage isn't built or even started yet. It's either a weekend or late afternoon because my car is there. Probably late June or early July as the neighbors have up their Fourth of July decore.
All this sunshine and green makes me long for Spring... *sigh*

I remember seeing the pictures where some city objected to being google-mapped. People dressed up in diving gear and chased the vans around with tridents.
Here is is: LINKI like how you can move down the street, see them chilling on lawn-chairs, then they spot the car and start chasing.

Ugg. There is a big old smear of bird crap on the dome of the camera in every single new Grandview GS photo. You have to pan up to see it, but it irritates me that they would be so sloppy that could happen.
And now that I look at other areas, the same smear is up on the dome. Great. Columbus is now bird crap city.
