Memory via Maps

My childhood, seen by Google Maps on Flickr

Does Google maps make this possible? Not really... you could do this through TerraServer (at higher resolution I might add (I do not know exactly where he lived, so I just picked a random street and zoomed in there)).

Is this really really cool? You betcha. I've always been astounded how a slight change in perspective gives you such a richer view of your world... looking forwards or backwards in time. This individual looked at his childhood, and it is riveting, for some unknown reason. What is it about the web that makes other people's fairly normal histories so interesting?
