They dissed the Rittenhouse Square area big-time. . . and they made an illegal maneuver at 38th and Spruce. HEY PAL, THAT'S LEFT-TURN-ONLY! Look alive dude; this ain't Palo Alto!

Oops, my bad. When you pass Spruce on 38th, you move from one "pass" to another; it looks like they did make the required left turn.

This has to be one of the weirdest places that they decided to drive through...

I'm curious why they decided to
A) map most of Chester and
B) drive down some really out of reach places, while leaving entire sections of Philadelphia uncovered?

Hmm... investigating further...

The Google people that came in that sedan (put the camera straight down, you can see the car)...


They got every single street in Marcus Hook:

Maple Street in Marcus Hook is actually quite nice and it's near SEPTA.

I saw one of these vans last Sunday (10/21) when I was out front of Saint Stephens. It was an orange minivan, not like the ones I've seen that are being called Google's vans...I forget what it said on the side though.




Either way...I made a funny face.
