My Old House on Google Street View
I just read about New Orleans being included in Street View in Google Maps, so having grown up there, of course I was excited. I actually lived in Kenner, a suburb of New Orleans, for 10 of the 15 years we lived there until we moved to Pelham. I thought surely that Google didn't go out into the suburbs but I thought I would check. The roaming Google picture-taking vehicle actually drove down the street right by the house I grew up in. I had heard that it was under about 9 feet of water though I'm not sure if I got those facts right and I didn't know its condition. I actually assumed it was leveled. A quick search and a switch to Street View showed me that it is still there. See it for yourself. It is the house on the corner. In fact, you can see the FEMA trailer sitting just to the right of it. The house next door has a FEMA trailer also. I wish I knew the story behind all of this but it is pretty cool to see it is still there.
