I found this in the Florida Keys.

Why.

If you zoom in, there's a plaque that answers that question.

QuoteOur atmosphere is intimate and geared toward a date night experience.

Most of our tables accommodate parties of 2 adults with side to side seating.

Our largest table seats 4.

I saw that. I'd love to know what it says below that one.

On the left it says they're closed on Wednesdays: "hump day of course"

It's all tacky, in my opinion.

As one of the blood donation banners in La France I posted last year, located in Le Bugue (24, West), got deleted from Street View, I've replaced that link with the one of the addenda I posted later, located in St. Chamond (42, East). The ones in La Chapelle des Marais (44, West) and Rombas (57, Northeast) are still there.
Supporter of the construction of several running gags, including I-366 with a speed limit of 85 mph (137 km/h) and the Hypotenuse.

Please note that I may mention "invalid" FM channels, i.e. ending in an even number or down to 87.5. These are valid in Europe.

This stitching error, with the second "a" missing, got me good. Scrolling down shows that the actual sign is correct.

Not Street View, but Google Maps:

Fooled you!  That's just a closeup of a painting in an art museum.

I'd like to know how heavy and how fast of a vehicle hit this signal to do this!

"Crazy" is relative as always, but here's a post-interchange mileage sign right off the press that hasn't even been installed yet, for PA's CSVT project: https://goo.gl/maps/rEWjWGunwfK9cubG8

I have never seen street view on a farm road, that is a road on a farm.

It's a public road, isn't it?

https://goo.gl/maps/ZH4xWGBq5f6afdrM7

Yes it is.  Not really what I mean.  I meant it has the appearance of someone's personal cow feeding road.  I guess where I was going with that was:  this is the least improved "road" (if you can call it that) I have ever seen anyone do street view on.

Oh, I didn't doubt there were, I was saying it was the most unimproved one I have seen.  This is of course ignoring all the hiking trails I have done street view on.

Here they are on a literal ATV trail.

That's more in line of what I would actually find useful on Google Street View.

Go east a block and you can see the dogs running out of the house and yard to chase the Google car.  Yes, one frame has the dog's face blurred out for privacy.  You can't be too safe.

What surprised me more about this, and maybe this is because I'm not familiar with Texas, but why is there a state-maintained Loop route on a Main St for a town of about 200 people? There's also a plethora of signage for multiple FM roads. In this one tiny town. Seems excessive, is this normal in Texas?

Either has to be a brush fire or a controlled burn (not too uncommon in the area, but interesting that GSV caught it).

Here is a van that has a bunch of trash in it and the owner clearly does care if people know that their van is a mess.

Perhaps there is a direct correlation between the construction debris in the minivan and fact that it is sitting in front of floor tile shop?
