Not that I don't trust AA-man's eyeball (but I do know that he's a
WhiteMan with a taste for the Scots firewater that tends to make one's
vision play tricks on visual acuity) ... but I understand there's this
thing called "Google Streetview" or somesuch that enables WWWebsters to
take a virtual walk down most city streets.
It'd seem to make sense then that in a situation such as this, a person
might simply post the street addresses or satellite co-ordinates of the
buildings in question and ... well, y'know.
