Street View thoughts - Raanan has some good uses
This guy has some pretty good ideas for... productive... uses of Street View:
extremely useful in scouting out new areas for apartments. I expect sites like craiglist to link to this directly in short order.
useful for evaluating businesses locations, and any other commercial real estate deals.

San Francisco Landmarks #7 - Lombard Street
Lombard Street in San Francisco is widely regarded as the curviest street in the United States (or in the world, depending on who you ask. :) In a single block, it curves nearly 180 degrees eight times. Here's a view from the top:
And here's a view from the bottom:
I've driven down Lombard in a car and I was terrified. I can't imagine doing it in a big van! :)
From Wikipedia:
The switchback design, first suggested by property owner Carl Henry and instituted in 1922, was born out of necessity in order to reduce the hill's natural 27% grade, which was too steep for most vehicles to climb and a serious hazard to pedestrians used to a more reasonable sixteen-degree incline. The speed limit is a mere 5 mph (10 km/h) on the crooked section, which is about 1/4 mile (400 m) long.

San Francisco Landmarks #6 - Frank Chu
Frank Chu during a SF Giants game. Click on the image to zoom in:
Frank Chu is a San Francisco staple, and one of the City's most famous protestors.
Here's a hilarious picture of Frank Chu with a practicing Frank Chu from Flickr:
From Wikipedia:
His street protests against US Presidents, corporations, and a distinctive concept he calls the '12 Galaxies' have been held in San Francisco and nearby locales since at least 1995... [He] protests daily, or nearly daily, typically walking throughout the daytime hours in downtown San Francisco...
The 12 Galaxies bar in San Francisco is named in honor of Chu’s cause. Its bartenders have standing orders to give Chu free Budweiser whenever he drops by. [He won the] 2000 "Best Protestor" [award in the] San Francisco Bay Guardian "Best Of The Bay".
