you can't go home again

Posted 01 September 2010 - 09:16 AM

http://www.thewildernessdowntown.com

this is a new video for arcade fire's 'we used to wait'. they call it a 'chrome experience'. input your address to get started. was it accurate for you?

it was kinda weird in that it showed a lot of the new additions to the neighborhood which ruined the nostalgia thing they were going for, but i was pretty pleased with the location accuracy for both the street view and overhead view. although on mine, there was snow in the yard. weird timing for new mexico.

here's a link to the google blog on how it was made:

Pretty cool. Reminded me that a sex offender now lives at my old house (not the video itself, just hadn't thought about that house in a while)

I love Arcade Fire. I dont remember my addresses because they were always out in the country and were like Rural Routes or HC something. SO I can't play.

Tried that too but it said something about not enough data for Google Maps or Street View to work.

This is probably one of the coolest things I've seen in a long time.
