1. Wow - out of billions of people in the World . . .
.

SO - I check around which cities have street-view

Toronto is one of them -

Some of my family including one brother and my mother live there.

GOOGLE CAUGHT MY BROTHER -yeah, my youngest brother walking home!

I called my brother last night and he was just wowed!

We were on the phone and the web together for over an hour checking it out -

in one frame they caught the roof of the google-van as my brother walked by -

yup - checked the addresses above and below his, and they got front, side and rear-view shots of my little bro.

just wow!

THANKS to the OP for this news!

:thumbsup:
