Let's have some fun with Street View. Post the best and worst of your city.

[Locut0s]

OK so this is a simple task post Google Street view links to the best AND worst parts of your city. I want to see the FULL gamut of what your city has to offer. The nicest neighbourhoods and the worst slums. And everything in between. Advertise your city for us. Obviously lots of ATOTers will be from the same city so we will see some of the same places again and again but that's fine because I'm sure each person will also lend a different overall perspective. Remember don't just post billion dollar dream home drive, post skid row and anything eclectic and in-between. This is your chance to be the tour-guide and show off your pride and joy city the way you want to the rest of us! Even if you live way out in the boonies somewhere I'm sure there's a few interesting things to see. Going to be LOTS of links in this thread obviously.

Oh right and for those who doin't know how to get at street view direct links, it's the "Link" menu in the upper right corner of street view.

I'll start. Here is Vancouver:

And I don't want to be the only one posting here. Let's see other ATOTers contributing to make this fun! Don't have to post a lot a few links is fine. We just want to see your city. Give us even just a little taste of it.

 

[Rifter]

Very nice. Despite living in North Van that's too far up for me to think about going there often. Did you live nearby, props on being wealthy if so

man i wish i lived up there

I grew up/lived in in Richmond till i was 23 and now live in Surrey. My aunt lives just south of the # 1 at the 21st st exit and told me about the view from up there and i used to go up there a bunch when the road was just put in and there was no houses to screw up the view, thats going back 5-10 years now. Its not a long drive up there less than 4 min from the highway.

 

[Rifter]

not exactly street view but a google maps pic, i go there sometimes its a small park near where i live now.

Nice. They are working on replacing the Pattullo Bridge aren't they?

 

[Rifter]

Yes i believe when they finish twinning the Port Mann they are closing the pattullo.

[shortylickens]

You wouldnt like it.
As of last count, 57% of my town is now hispanic. Thats an official stat from the city council.
And by an amazing coincidence, the worst parts of the city I could you? Yup, the neighborhoods where they live.
The best parts?
Any fucking place else.

Also, theres assloads of pics online of Manassas. We fought two battles there, its sorta kinda famous.

 

[Linflas]

The Manassas battlefield is really the only thing we are known for.

The Stone House

Henry House

What's funny about your post, is that even the supposedly "ghetto" parts of Vancouver look pretty nice (other than a few guys sitting on the sidewalk or something). That's like trying to post the bad parts of Geneva or Stockholm.

You want some real dumps, check out Mexico City or Rio.

Street view is VERY limited in my town.
Here are some shots.

The dumpy parts of Vancouver and Sweden look nicer than good parts of US cities.

That looks like a cool place to live! Sometimes I wish I lived in the EU.
