Either someone doing some trolling or some really tech-illiterate boomer managed to accidentally screw-up trying to do a google search or two.
May or may not be batticorn.

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

I don't think it's legit to begin with.  It's just a local artist's double-wide.

Google Maps now sometimes defaults to globe view even when that box is not checked.  So I'll check that I'm not stuck in globe view, see the box is unchecked and think I'm fine, only to find out later that I'm not.  I despise the animation (and the extra time it takes) they put on entering/exiting street view in globe view, so I try to avoid it like the plague.

I think it depends on zoom level, doesn't it? Like, at the furthest zoom levels it uses globe view, and then at some point it transitions to Mercator.
