For instance, here’s the place I just came back from — the Knoxville Visitor
Center on Gay Street, where the WDVX Blue Plate Special takes place
every weekday:
And here’s a look at the Gay Street Bridge, seen from across the river in South Knoxville, with several downtown buildings, the Sunsphere, and the Henley Street Bridge in the distance:
Hmm… that is odd. Is to overly paranoid to think that maybe the federal government has asked them not to do D.C.? (Though that wouldn’t explain Baltimore.)
As a native of Nebraska, I was also surprised to find Street View for Lincoln and even a lot of the small towns within an hour’s drive. If I were standing on the street in Shelby, Nebraska and saw the Google van drive by, I’d probably think it was a joke.
They have had Street View in Philly for a while. But I live just outside the city in a town called Lansdowne. EVERY street in Lansdowne is now on Street View EXCEPT mine!!!! WTF Google?!!?!? I want to look at my house from your weird panoramic camera!!!!

This is so unfair.
How does Knoxville get Street View, but Washington DC and Baltimore do not?
I mean, come ON!
Heck, Google Street View goes through parts of po-dunk Indiana, PA! You’d figure that they could go through DC, or at least some DC suburbs!

I wouldn’t be surprised if the government said to not do DC. I suspect that Maryland is just being weird about this issue.
Maryland is weird about everything, so it would fit.

Eh, Spokane WA has it but Seattle, Tacoma and Olympia don’t. I think google just picks names out of a hat or something.

All the pictures in this post are black for me and I’m using the firefox browser.
If I link into the pictures, then also the Street View pictures under Google Maps is black.
So Big Google isn’t watching you as so much censoring you…

Nadine - all I’m seeing is the black, and I’m using Internet Explorer … it must be something special for us francophones to prevent us seeing it …
