For several blocks around this address in Google Street View, there's a shirt thrown over the victim's head (I mean camera), so you can't see anything.

Coincidence?....

Funny but not a huge surprise. The StreeView crew was probably getting harassed and didn't want to get out and take the shirt off the car. Sometimes you'll see whole blocks in certain cities where they didn't even drive around, probably for safety concerns.

But why not just leave that area out then? What good is having a view with a shirt over it. That's the main point of street view, to view!!

They were probably some punk kids messing around with the crew. But I wouldn't have got out either, a lot of those kids carry gun, and they aren't afraid to use them.

There was a Google street view in Detroit with a guy laying on the sidewalk, but it's been updated.

Wow. The number of vacant lots with grass in that neighborhood! It's like watching the city revert to being the country. That area has more green space than most outlying suburbs do!

There's a lot of green space in Chicago if you know where to look.
