Here is a house in the areas of DC my friend lives in, same Zip code. Looks ok, even pretty nice in certain ways. His place has one or two shade trees in front, or so it seems when I stalked it via Google maps and street views. I do wonder when and how Google earth takes its photos and just how much photoshopping they permit themselves to do with the images.
I asked my friend this morning how things were going on his street—how nice it looks on a sunny day on Google Earth. Here is his reply—-
“
What Google doesn’t show you: The three wrecked cars just out front of my building. Some drug dealer came around the bend too fast on an icy night and slammed into the cars, making two undriveable. More annoying is the Heroin dealer who lives downstairs. Last night he was in a screaming match with someone about who-owed-who money and it lasted from 2:30 to 6 am. I’ve now told him that the next time I hear a peep out of him I’m calling the cops and maybe coming after him with the two shotguns I own and keep in my closet.
These are the things google maps just can’t quite register.
