Frenchies frolic; DC still not on Google Street View

Posted by: Will Sommer in District News, Technology

In April, we complained that cities across the country were getting Google Street View while Washington, one of the nation’s most interesting-looking cities, went unphotographed. Now even Paris is on Street View. I guess it’s good that people can see some world capital, even if it’s not ours.

Speaking of Street View, it recently came to Houston (home of the Blog Summer White House) and I understand what people in the first cities to get Street View were saying about creepiness. Just looking for directions, I was confronted with the back of my car and my mom doing yard work.

Can you believe DC’s missing out experiences like that?

    Somehow my house in Windham, New Hampshire is on street view and yet my dorm—four blocks from the White House—is not. Small suburban town < Washington, DC

    There’s got to be some sort of security block, right?

    That’s what we figured last time we ran posted about it. Considering that DC’s security cameras are divided between a whole bunch of agencies, I’m sure getting permission to take pictures is pretty difficult too.
