The Colossus continues his series of identifying landmarks from Google maps. The only one I've gotten so far was the Golden Gate Bridge.
The downside is that I've started to play around with google maps too much.
Damn you, Colussus! To HELLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL!

Okay, sports fans, the following area has been in the news quite a bit since the late spring and has caused quite an outrage throughout the land. Where is it, and why are people pissed off?
Iran???

Posted by: Mikey at October 25, 2005 01:48 PMIt isn't Gitmo or Vieques, because Google doesn't do that resolution. Not Sumter or Ft. McHenry, either.
That's a tough one.
Posted by: The Colossus at October 25, 2005 01:53 PMTo clarify: Google does that resolution, but not everywhere, and only for a few cities outside the continental U.S.
Posted by: The Colossus at October 25, 2005 01:55 PMHINT: it's on the west bank of a river in the CONUS.
