# North Oaks, Minn.: In late June 2008, the St. Paul, Minn. suburb of North Oaks successfully petitioned that street images be removed from Google Maps’ Street View feature. The argument put forth collectively by North Oaks' 4,500 residents involves the fact that the town has private roads that are protected by a trespassing ordinance. Google spokeswoman Elaine Filadelfo said that she didn't know of any other city in the country that has made a similar request.

# The Boring Home: Aaron and Christine Boring of Franklin Park Pa. claimed that Google Maps' Street View feature violated their privacy, devalued their property and caused them mental suffering by posting images of a private road in front of their house. The Borings said that the images of their home must have been taken from their long driveway, which is labeled "Private Road."

By car, since it's my hometown.

I guess they probably don't let local high school students into nuclear facilities or whatnot anymore, what with 9/11 paranoia.

52. My house.

There was a Peapod truck out front of my house when they came by taking pictures, so you can't see it (it's set back from the street). And the satellite view was from before the house was built.

I heard they took down Lou Piniella as well.

Weird. Looks like they completely re-shot it, as opposed to "airbrushing" him out too, considering that's not the same SUV that used to be there. It was a Black Yukon before.

Whats the story, that where he lived?

Whats the story, that where he lived?

No, it's a block from Wrigley, and he was just walking down the street randomly(?) when they took the picture.

[kah]

Is it his car? The SUV? Because that's the only reason to do that.

No. But he moonlights at the Salt and Pepper Diner. He makes a mean Denver omelette.
