Google Expanded Street View

Is your house on there? Mine isn't. But I did manage to find this little gem:

Rotate the view to across the street and look at the monstrosity in the parking lot where many a frisbee/baseball/football/whiffle ball was thrown. Tragic.

Aaron said...

Look at the picture on the right of the front page to view the sunset from Edna's front porch. Won't be able to see it like that ever again.

JDL said...

Cars in the yard + hubcap in the yard + old recliner on 6th St. = classy.

What a great house. Driveway still puddles up.

I think I see Heidi across the street.

If you pan over to 6th, and are on the left side of the driveway, Google has blurred the corner of the house where Brandon rammed EDNA with Andrew's car.

Andrew said...

Brandon: "Andrew, is there something wrong with the brakes on your car?"

Andrew: "No. Why?"


I remember getting woke up that morning by the collision. I didn't know what it was at the time and just went back to sleep.

Aaron said...

The Vacant lot next door is still vacant. I think we should buy it and get B to build us a money making property on it.

JDL said...

It was in a flood plain. Then again so Was EDNA.

Let's do it.

RD said...

Got a little teary eyed seeing that house.
Never quite pimped out the basement like folks talked about.

Aaron said...

The price should be cheap then :) Red find out how much that land is. B- design a construction plan in an environmentally kind way reroutes the water around the property. Have Kevin draw in up on CAD.

Andrew said...

RD: Never pimped out the basement? I beg to differ. Walk around the room with me for a second.

1) Seldom (if ever) used weight bench
2) Wet Bar constructed from scrap wood found in the basement by Adam and Brandon on like the 2nd day we lived there. Strategically placed underneath the laundry chute in the downstairs bathroom for purposes of lowering food and drink (never utilized)
2A) Adam also used said scrap wood to hew out our mantle piece: 4 pieces of wood that spelled out EDNA
3) Dart Board
4) Non-functioning air hockey table provided by the Farleys
5) 3 Disc CD Player that would play "Welcome to Atlanta" or "Cha Cha Slide" from memory
6) 6 industrial sized bags of plastic balls from McDonalds forever kept under the stairs
7) Our names spraypainted on the wall
8) The beginnings of a mural painted by Landon's then future sister-in-law

Not pimped out? I await your apology.

Kevin said...

don't forget the dead snakes and the little bird with a mohawk

Aaron said...

How did you not remember the centerpiece of the room...the ping pong table. remember trying to move that badboy down those stairs...now that was crazy

Jones said...

I am cold just looking at that house. I wonder what the temperature is inside the house this very minute. I was only kept warm by a layer of Nunley's hair grease and his strep throat germs.

JDL said...

It got down into the 50's in my room. Excuse me, mine and Ross's room.

Andrew said...

I am only commenting because the word is "baitch"

I'll use it in a sentence: "My girlfriend is a real baitch."

Kevin said...

Zillow.com values the house at $184,000. That is absurd.

Andrew said...

Maybe it factors in the memories

JDL said...

and the previously mentioned upgrades in the basement.

The Nunley said...

605 N. Cedar what a gem. You can't put a price tag on those memories. I bet the basement is still the same. Who in their right mind would go down there?

UNtil THen,

Jones said...

Justin, how many times did you crack your head walking down those stairs?

Andrew said...

Adam, off subject, but will you check with your wife's grandfather about the renovations on the cabin during those first 2 weeks in March (when Aaron has vacation)?

I remember B slow-dancing with Laura Sidorowicz on his birthday in that basement.

Aaron said...

Now that is a nice birthday dance. And I bet she was not covered up by a Christmas sweater like your other women, B.

Seriously...I wonder what that house is valued at. Old Joyce has to be getting old and thinking of selling it at some point.

My winter memory of Edna is sleeping in my sleeping bag under my covers. You had to do that when the thermometer in my room got into the 50's.

Andrew said...

My winter memory is coming back there for Rob Wheeler's wedding over Christmas break. Nobody was there. There was water in a bowl in the sink. The water was frozen.

Aaron said...

How come Google can send a vehicle down N. Cedar but they can't get a satellite image from lower than from space??? I was hoping to see a close up pic from above on their maps but you can barely even find the university.

Brawny said...

Did anyone see the Michael W. Smith movie that came out a few years age where Smitty and the preacher sit on the roof of a church to keep it from being demolished?

I am fully prepared to do that even though Edna's foundations are a little rattled from Andrew's car.

We are already have a money making use for the lot. Drive-in movies shown on the side of the apartment.

Lesson learned: 15 minutes of blacklight ping-pong results in terrible headache.

That basement was awesome. Let us not forget the Farley's air hockey table.

RD said...

Apparently I hit a nerve writing so negative about the EDNA basement.

I stand corrected. The basement is one of the coolest locations known to man. Ranking up their with the Taj Mahal and Sistine Chapel.

Kevin said...

Does anyone else use twitter?

Aaron said...

i think it would be cool to do it. kind of a stream of consciousness of what is going on during the day

Kevin said...

mine's more of a trickle
