I visited my childhood home today ...

I can see my home from Google Earth, but I think this reveal so many things.

They have my neighbor hood but i cant walk to my house yet. I havent checked lately as ive been busy but it is very cool. I love to check out sites i will never get to like Paris.

How cool, Guybrush!

I tried to find the addresses of a couple of childhood homes when first read this, but without luck. I'm going to keep trying, though, because you've made me so curious!

Hey guybrush! How cool is that? I have never even thought to
try to look for the first houses that I lived in! What an
interesting idea! That must have been so much fun taking a
virtual tour and seeing what has changed and what has stayed
the same! I'll be for you it brought back lovely memories!
I think I will check it out myself! I would like to thank you
for the wonderful idea! I will let you know how I made out!

It must have been exciting for you to be able to see your first home, and your Dad's plot across the road! Lovely memories! Technology is amasing!
I was born in Scotland, and would love to see my old house - do you know if Scotland has GSV?

Well, I live in Hull, so we'll be the last to be included, as usual

We get all these kind of things last; I like it though, we're clearly not the same as everyone else

That would have been so exciting, guybrush. I went looking for my childhood homes and schools but, although I found the right streets, the buildings weren't there. My first homes were pulled down and turned into blocks of apartments and, even my schools are now nonexistent. I do enjoy looking on Google Earth at my parents' home - the house I spent my teenage years in - and walking down to my local haunts. It is very comforting to be able to see my family home when I live over 1000 kilometres away and haven't been there in person for more than 20 years. I love Google Earth but, if my parents' area is anything to go by, the pictures are very outdated. GSV shows a pine tree in my parents front yard that was cut down over two years ago. I had a lovely wander around the town my children grew up in. It was lovely to see our house and walk up and down the streets. Parts of my current town are now in GSV but, my house is not. Like you, I can't wait for Cornwall. I have always felt an affinity with it and discovered that my mother's side of the family comes from there. My grandmother used to show me photos of different places, so-and-so's wedding and so-and-so's grave. I wish she was still alive so I could pick her brain about actual towns. My great grandfather used to tell my mother stories of the Spanish pirates pillaging their way along the coastline. I would simply love to see the area for myself.

Hi,

No doubt one does have a lot of childhood memories .We remember our childhood times more during our youth and middle ages.We long for those simplistic times.

It must have been a very special time for you to visit your childhood home .
Have a great time ahead.

This sounds wonderful guybrush! I've never actually played around with Google Street View before, but I've looked at several houses I've lived in before on Google Earth. It sounds like you were able to see some amazing detail too. I will try to check out GSV over the weekend as it sounds great!

I'd love to revisit Devon and Torbay. Haven't walked those streets since I returned to bury my grammum 30 years ago. Since they've only just done London and Leeds, it seems unlikely they'd have the West Country in view yet. Can you tell me exactly how I go about finding this new technology? I'm clueless... Thanks!
