Question about Google Earth

probably a .gov scumbag lives there

No idea. Also, on google earth you can see what a place looked at various times over the years. You can go back a pretty good anount of time in some places. Might be neat to show him how the place has changed over the last 40 years or so.

What kinda "juice" do you have to have to get Google to BLOCK your house from view???

I mean, I figured pretty high-up individual. I'd never seen ANYPLACE blurred like that before!

BTW - according to him, it's quite a place, full basement all decked out with living quarters - I know, I know, a LOT of homes are like that.

But if you look around back, there are several garages, his grandfather built them.....LOTS of storage, for who knows what. He owns all the way back to the next street. Maybe even other houses, as my dad remembered he owned "lots of houses on that block." But their residence is the only one blurred.

Well i looked at the address and that is weird. Maybe there is some graffiti with bad words or maybe its a safe place like a womans shelter, i dont know man but that is weird.

Oh, cool, Texan! But I don't know how to do that!

I don't know

You should Tweet it on Twitter

It would seem that the owner of the house requested it.

Thanks for that link! THere's a variety of info there. Some people who got blurred on accident and want to unblur (apparently cannot happen until the next time Google takes your picture), some people who don't know who asked for blur, some people who want to be blurred.....
