Google maps street view of Chicago

Hi guys,
I just wanted to mention that Google maps now has street view of Chicago, and includes coverage of Goose Island, North Ave yard area, and some other railroad spots.  The quality of the images is pretty decent when zoomed in.  Should be useful for modelers who aren\'t in the area.

This is very cool and worth checking out.  Basically a on-foot view.  Use the arrow keys to pan the picture up and down as well as side to side and zoom.
