"If you grew up out side of town and there is no street view data, I suggest using google maps to find a childhood address that does have street views... It gets integrated into the video and personalizes it a bit"

It was kinda cool, then almost creepy with the trees growing in the street.

The street I grew up in.

I heard the AF song on the radio this weekend.

And dammit if I didn't play back the "interactive video thingie" in my mind while the song was on.

^ just finally watched it today, kinda neat interactivity but imo "Rome" < "Wilderness Downtown".

OKGO did one recently too -- but warning some may call it pretentious ( )
