Since google's streetview was just launched, I thought I'd try and find a picture of my car.

I'm 90% sure this is my e39, you can barely see it.

my subbie looks like it was taken at the begining of summer (streets weren't swept)

but down town looks like within the last month (using construction around my workplace to gauge)

so it looks like they might have worked from outside in

Cedarbrae and area looks to have been taken between April - late May, just by the fact that I'm even parked there.

Downtown was most definitely taken during Stampede Week, or the days leading up to it.

Yep, my father in laws house is replaced by the alley of the houses across the street. The views before and after his house are in the right place though.... and the side view of my parents house jumps into the alley too. Weird.

Start clicking east down 31 Ave. On the 3rd click, it's halfway in someone's backyard. Next click it's in the alley.

They were driving around in Edmonton shortly after they did Calgary. So I would assume Edmonton will be online eventually as well.
