I think Google’s street view is the cat’s meow- and It’s great that Indy has been in the most recent batch of cities added.
I find a few things interesting in exploring these new street view locations:
1) The few people who I told about this weren’t like “Wow, that’s cool” but rather “Thanks a lot, big brother. Quit looking at my house” or “That’s a downside of living in a big city.”
2) The Google photo vehicle visited Columbus, Bloomington, and other small towns… and get this, super-tiny places like North Vernon and Seymour, IN. Even though I know people in Seymour, I find it amusing to see Seymour in the context of being interesting enough to view online.

Hey Ian. Actually we just left a message for you and are looking for design help - but to the blog… MY GRANDMA is on Google Street view getting her mail in Anderson, Indiana. How crazy is that? I said “grandma - you’re on Google Street view” she said “I did what on the what?” (she’s 87 years old, she doesn’t surf the web much). In fact - she is still trying to figure out how I had her into an Elf on OfficeMax’s EflYourself site. She totally doesn’t ever remember putting on a elf suit!

Hey now, I’m from Seymour!
I was surprised to see it on there too though.
