    Default Google Street View captures GM Strike

    Was surfing through the Google Street View and I came across the GM Plant in Arlington, Texas! Couldn't believe it, they drove by during the strike in September 2007!

    Take a look at some of the folks on strike. The guy on the left on the top image looks like he's got to take a leak, someone should give him a break. Feel free to comment!

    Ummm.....nope. Street Views are captured by a fleet of vehicles. See just some of the vehicles here: http://images.google.com/images?sour...title&resnum=5

    Herculean task by google to map street views of all major cities and towns. I spotted one in Hesperia, Ca and followed it for awhile hoping I'd eventually see my truck in a street view. Got bored looking online for it so I don't know if the pics ever showed up.

    There is no way to happiness....happiness is the way.

    I still think that this is pretty good coincidence.
