Since when is it available in Rolla? It's amazing!

I assume someone at the university had a hand in it.

Looks like they sat on the data for a while - the fence between my house and the house next to me was changed from white wood to chainlink over the summer... and it's white wood in the street view.

They must have recently added it, but yes the pics are older. Look at the intersection at 63 and 72, the Walgreens is being built and the street between it and the gas station was still closed.

My car is there. Which means it happened in the last year. Bought it in Jan. 08.

I think the images might've been taken over the summer. The campus parking lots appear to be pretty empty.

Also, since this is Rolla, I bet if these were taken during the semester, someone would've most certainly spotted the car with the giant camera on top and posted on Seek about it.

OK, so it definitely was over the summer sometime. I think gas started dropping around September.

http://www.eia.doe.gov/oil_gas/petroleu ... story.html

according to that site. Gas in the midwest was around the $3.80 in the may-september area. Also, my housemate's car was in that picture, and he left the house at the begnining on june, and came back down sometime in august.

Also, investment fixed a fence in front of the barn over the summer, and there is no fence in the picture. So I am going with early summer, rather than later.

Yeah, this is sometime between may and august. Probably June or July b/c my girlfriend's old house has had the ivy ripped out (happened after may) and the chairs infront of my apartment are still there. Which they were there in July and gone when I came back in August.

I'm baffled at where this thread has gone. I guess that's what I get for asking a bunch of engineers when something happened - they try to give me the exact date and time. :lol:

The pictures were taken between July 6th and 24th. I am disappointed that they didn't go down State St by Campus Support.

I know when it was taken because I was out of Rolla for the North American Solar Challenge, and a couple of the team member left their cars at my house during that time, and they are there in the picture.
