Google Earth/Map Pagoda

[RCS Coupe]

This past June, my son finished middle school with a special assembly and reception. I went to the reception in my 250SL (MB 268 Green, California Coupe) which my wife and son refer to as "The Queen," and parked it on a neighborhood street (the school lot was over full.) As we walked back to the car, we spotted an odd looking vehicle coming toward us: it was the Google Earth street level camera car (they have to get those street level pictures somehow!) On our way home,at an intersection, we saw the same camera car go by again, this time the driver waved at us.
I guess it took several months to sort through and edit all that the camera car saw, but this weekend I found us on Google Maps. The Queen shows up in two places: parked on the street near the school and waiting at an intersection for the light to change.
Parked address - 3265 North Harrison Street, Arlington, Virginia, United States (this is near Williamsburg Middle School, Arlington, VA, USA)
The intersection - the Queen is on Old Dominion Drive where it crosses Old Glebe Road, Arlington, Virginia, USA. Marymount University is on the opposite corner.

Snow Day in Paris ... and this was a perfect excuse to prolong my procrastination ... the first one was easier  ... the second was a true "where's Waldo" ... but found it.

Nice.

Kind of creepy in a way. Your place on the WWW for anyone to see. The world is getting smaller every day.....

A couple of years ago I found and ad for a 230sl for sale. Trying to get some idea where the car was located was, I Googled the address, when I went to the Street View there was the Pagoda in the open garage door.

Don't worry Dan, you are safe.  The Google truck turned off Hwy 40 onto French Line, but stopped when the pavement ends...before their prying eyes looked onto your property.  As long as they don't pave French Line you are probably safe.

Makes it easier for thieves to check in advance whether its worth the cost and effort to rent a flat bed truck!   
Joke aside, this is exactly what happened to me. Took me 5 months to force Google to block the view of my Pagoda.

 I also was able to find the first one: amazing coincidence and great to see you car in street view

I haven't looked but I know they went by some time ago. I'm there with everyone else.   

Was by your area yesterday on my way back from the D.R.  Far too cold and far too tired to think about stopping by.

Indeed this is a very cool game. Finding your Pagoda parked near the school was easy because it's in 3 or 4 of the Street View frames and it's not moving. I love the colour combination! White interior is pretty rare, isn't it?

Finding you on Old Dominion Road is more of a challenge. First, my Google street names say it's North Glebe Road, not Old Glebe Road. Is that a local variation? Not that I blame them; it's a complicated world out there. But there must be multiple passes by the Street View car. It freaked me out looking south down Old Dominion Road because, if I'm getting this correct, one set of pictures shows a 3- or 4- storey stone building front, but a different set shows a blue-and-white construction barrier on the same spot. How dey do dat? The good news is I got The Queen all right, but just in one frame. You're (roughly) southbound in the left lane, about 20 metres from the zebra stripes, approaching the camera which is pretty much smack-dab in the middle of the intersection. Only the view sort of backwards-to-the-side of the camera shows the Pagoda.

You really want to spend a rainy afternoon? "Travel" from any point A to any point B using only Street View. It's more exhausting than driving! I did the west coast of South Island, New Zealand, one night when I couldn't sleep. Jeepers. Oh, and of course look for Pagodas along the way.

You have way to much time on your hands, Peter............

pj,
You are right: it is NORTH GLEBE Road crossing Old Dominion Dr; Old Glebe is several blocks east.
The Queen's interior is standard MB Tex parchment; it only looks white in the photo.
I think the building you are referring to is part of Marymount U. and was just completed less than a year ago (older photos would show it under construction.
