Google Street Interesting Locations

[ProHypster]

Just post any locations special, funny, close to you want to share. Don't post exactly where you live unless you're really sure. Also can we integrate Google Maps into Accursed Farms somehow or no?

 

Anyway, this is the McDonalds I grew up with !

It looks almost like the city I live in. Pretty Mid-European urban areas.

[ProHypster]

Well that's not exactly the most urban area of the city, it's the left bank, notoriously known to be inhabited by former Industrial hardymen, aka modern drunkards. However I live in the more or less better mini region of the whole, just lots of drunkards here and there but no crime. My family used to live right in the center untill communism moved us .

There's my McDonald's. It's a semi-long death walk up the highway from where I live

[ProHypster]

Ah, at first it's design reminded me of some german house but then it reminded me of a hamburger itself for some reason, I've also noticed there is not much around it at all other then the highway.

 

Are you by any chance who'm I've known as Fluttershy?

Burger King > McDonald's

http://goo.gl/maps/28dAs This was THE place to go for like 15 years if you wanted to grab some fast food. Probably the only global, decent fast food chain that there is in this country, come to think of it (god I want tacos so bad ;_

Never much of McDonald's fan, but here's my nearest brewery.

 

How do you shorten the url like that?

Yessir! The one and only

 

Oh, Burger King is not better, but Wendy's is the absolute best fast food chain ever. And actually, the Highway runs right through one of my town's three shopping districts (Glasgow, Christiana Mall, and Main Street), this one being Glasgow. If you turn like 180 degrees around from the McDonald's, you should be able to see part of a rather large shopping center/ strip mall. That's the 2 mile walk I take to get my personal shopping done (Mostly to GameStop, but RadioShack and the Dollar Store get my business as well...)

Regardless of quality, here's the closest McDonald's to me, currently.

I loled at the american flag The quality is like that by the way because the team took photos of USA first then moved to the rest of the world with better equipment, ha, sort of a backstabber.

 

Also MrShinyobject, it's on the google maps website, there is an option copy short url. And do I know you by any other alias, or are you one of the newer members? Sorry to ask, haven't been on accursed for a while. I used to be "ThatSmartGuy" if that helps.

 

And Martin, that's a really impressive Burger King store you have there. Was it built in the 18th century? I also see some one of my favourite dark beer, Tuborg truck there heh!

 

And to Different, sorry late edit, your architecture looks a lot like much of Kiev, Petrine era Baroque I guess. If I didn't know it was Estonia I would think I was somewhere in Russia. (lol please don't get offended, I know you guys don't like Russians, just an opinion based on the architecture)

Oh I hardly get out of my house so I have no reason to hate them. Except that one time one stole my phone.. and that other time when one decided to throw rocks a-

 

Aaaaanyway, yeah. It's not surprising if you think of it that way, seeing how Russia had control over Estonia for a few centuries (besides the odd occupation by germans during WWI), we adapted to their culture and heck, the country got independent only two decades ago.

You live in Washington. How the hell did they pick the one sunny day you got in the last decade to photo the area. By the way, have you ever been around Valve HQ? Whats it like?

[danielsangeo]

Valve HQ is in a skyscraper. I haven't been into it but I've been next to the building. I saw the grassy plot where the HL3 protesters were camping and Gabe went out to talk with them (just the grassy plot, no protesters, no Gabe. )

 

The building Valve is in: http://goo.gl/maps/uS5Y6

The grassy plot: http://goo.gl/maps/DwpZO

 

Does that count?

 

By the way, it's been sunny here for the last two months in a row. So there!

Any location on google street counts. Just explain why you chose it., in this case obvious.

[Collective Foal]

huh, main street hasn't been updated in a good couple years. Presently, there's a Chipotle Mexican Grill (McDonalds Green Corp.) here. God I love their burritos...

[ProHypster]

Ehm, You're doing it wrong.

 

Also, for some reason I was thinking Valve office would be somewhere in the Nevada desert with a lone office building.
