Durka-Durka-Muhammed-Jihad!!
Found something over at Smash's place about living here in San Diego that got me thinking - could I find the places I haven't seen in 15 years from an overhead image?
Here's what I found:
Since it was easier to locate due to it's proximity to the Capital Beltway in Northern Virginia, I located George C. Marshall High Schoool (my old high school).
From there, I was able to follow the local roads back to the apartment complex I used to live in (two different times) and also the high-rise I used to live in. I lived in the southern building on the left-hand side on the 8th floor where I'd attempt to zing pennies across the way to the northern building.
Damn - Walt was right: It's a Small World After All.
The funny/strange thing is that from this high up everything looks pretty much the same. But I know for a fact that I'd get lost attempting to find my way around there; I definitely did when I went back 13 years ago.
Tried that for my home town... all it showed was green...
