Amazing what technology does these days. I was looking at the house I lived in from when I was 1 year old until I was 15. I left 4 years ago and with it - my childhood. So I was absolutely thrilled when I found out it was in street view - bringing back a flood of delightful memories!

I found these quite funny:

Nice LP,
In that first pic, is that you're way of telling Ross he's #1 ?

Turn it to the right and you can see the Brooklyn Ice Cream Factory. It's the white building with the red roof. Awesome ice cream and a nice deck to eat it on while checking out the skyline. Coincidentally, that's also just about the spot where U2 did that 'Live under the Bklyn Bridge' ep for iTunes a few years back.

Our postcode doesn't even go to our house, it goes to one further up the street.

Here's the very special Toxteth TV http://maps.google.co.uk/maps?hl=en&safe=off&q=toxteth%20tv&aql=&oq=&gs_rfai=&um=1&ie=UTF-8&sa=N&tab=wl

Link = Used to love playing football here years ago. I scored my first 'official' goal on these pitches.

Yeah, Bronx is right mate. Sort them out Billy so we can have a geg. Click the 'link' word in the top right hand corner and copy that code - not the address bit at the top.

On a personal note, my grandfather helped to build the ESB, but before it was completed he was hit by a falling brick and lost his sight.

That sucks bro sorry to hear,, my Mom used to work in there before i was born.

Places where I grew up:
here & here

Hey! That's my mom's van in front!

nice view of the Verrazanno... love that bridge "Saturday Night Fever" 

Sorry to hear about your grandfather losing his sight mate.

Love seeing those two places you grew up though. That's why I love this thread. A street means a whole lot more than just a pic of a street to people.

Here's my old school. Can't believe they've put those square grass things in on the yard where we used to play footy!

No worries, guys. Thanks. I never met him. He died in 1956 when my dad was a kid.

I know what you mean, Ken. If only I could show the amount of fun I had as a kid. I had such a great childhood in my neighborhood.

Yeah, Keith. Awesome views of the bridge. We used to hang out down by the water at night drinking. In fact, here ya go . This is one of the ways down to the water. Now I see it from the other side (Staten Island) .. not as nice, of course.

When did ya live there BR? Monterey is beautiful isn't it though! I absolutely loved it, and brilliant Clam Chowder on that pier with all the restaurants

My girl spent alot of time there growing up being from San Jose, and also got certified in Scuba diving there
