How many oxen were lost when the street view car decided to ford that stream?

Don't know, all the drivers died of dysentery (or "dentistry" as I called it when I played that game).

I was poking around GSV before class and noticed that somebody put my building lobby on GSV. Actually, the entire campus is on GSV. That's what happens at an engineering school where everyone is a nerd, I guess.

I see that it is largely unchanged in the 20 years since I was last in that building.

Check that - I attended a hockey game within the last 10 years where we did some post-game late night urban spelunking and may have ended up in the basement of that building.

The tunnels under here are some of the few steam tunnels that you get into legally. Connection to the science center is creepy as hell (especially the elevator in that tunnel), but it's great if I need to get to the student services building in the rain.

I have seen some in black and white too and not just black.

It's all fun & games until someone summons Cthulhu and brings about the end of the world.

I also collect traffic lights, road signs, fans, and railroad crossing equipment.

So crazy that an old bridge shows up on an old photo. My mind is fucking blown!

I accept and respect your identity as long as it's not dumb shit like "identifying as a vaccinated attack helicopter".

Found at the intersection of NY 66 and NY 295: the circus train.
On the topic of trains, street view caught their first heritage unit back in 2012, a few months after NS put theirs into service:

What the... That was back in 2008, imagery from September 2014 (confirmed by my various visits there) shows this entrance was rebuilt. Further down the street there's something unknown in the USA.
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.

The amusing thing isn't the sign, it's the fact that they flipped a "W" upside down. Clever, but can someone also call Will Swith for the other type of cookie?
