BTW, have you guys tried Bing maps version of Street View? I am really not a big fan of Bing overall, but their implementation of street view is better. All pictures are mapped onto full 3D models of all the buildings, so when you look around, it is perspective correct and all the lines look straight. The downtown shots also appear to be clearer. Here is an example. The navigation is also easier. Unfortunately, there is not as much area coverage as Google.

Bing Maps

Here you can clearly see the superior mapping technology and how it affects the image:

The Paramount, Google vs Bing

That's the middle of the night. I'm sure over half the people on here have gotten weed before sometime in there life (just an assumption), and I'm sure your all good people, it's not like your commiting murder. Drug deals go on In even the nicest, wealthiest, safest areas of the US. It's just always gonna happen. I've never seen a drug deal in downtown but atleast when it does happen it's in the middle of the night instead of during the day when more people are around.
