It's like a jungle sometimes...

One of my first thoughts upon using Streetview was what a great resource this will be to future generations. A real (almost) unedited glimpse into the past.

I think that Google Earth has a feature for looking into the past? As their database grows (with time) this will become really cool.

Awesome project, but I would love higher resolution images.

Yeah - hate to look a gift horse in the mouth, but this is less enjoyable and more frustratingly tantalizingly almost extremely interesting.

Also, I wish the site used thumbnails. I have a slow connection and that many images took a long time to load.

I'm sure it's partially the B&W but it's amazing how old this looks. Without thinking too much about the cars I would probably have been at least 15 years off to guess when it was.

Someone with some free time and a bit of programming chops, help this guy out with mapping these onto a Google maps mashup so they're actually tied into the street grid map - please! There's so much potential here beyond a static web site.
