my second elementary school:

I have a third elementary school, two high schools, the San Francisco Art Institute, Cabrillo Community College, and UCSC to go, but it's outrageously late.

You know it's your fault I'm doing this, you know it.

It's not my fault!

Mapquest, a year or so ago, also had aerial photos -- but, unlike Terraserver (at least at that time), it also patched in various satellite photos at the more zoomed-out levels, so that one could zoom out to a photo of the entire U.S.

I was rather entertained to discover that I could find my childhood house by zooming in from the whole-country photo, on the first try, with nothing but the photos as guides. I suppose that comes of having had one of those vacuum-formed plastic 3D topographic maps of the area when I was growing up, as I could recognize the mountain ranges. (And we're just about on the eastmost mountain of the Appalachians, right where there's a change in their angle as they go through Virginia, so it's a recognizable spot.)
