Virginia House Blog-athon: Whoops

I'm on my way home from Agecroft Hall. I checked on Google Maps and determined a route to get back to Cary Street. I just found out that, thanks to streets curving and changing their names every fifteen feet, I have been walking parallel to Cary Street for about ten minutes.

Virginia House Blog-athon 3: Google Maps Car

You guys! A Google Maps car just drove by me!

I was trying to write a different blog post at the time, so I couldn't get my camera up in time to get a good picture, but here's what I got:

It's the car the farthest up the street, right under the tree. The entire car was covered by a map like you'd actually see on Google Maps. It had what looked like a tall, black radio tower on top of it, and on top of the tower was a big, red ball that I can only assume houses the camera.

Maybe if I go check out the street view on Berkshire Rd. in a few days, I'll be able to see myself walking along and staring at my phone!

Very cool.

Virginia House Blog-athon 1: Setting Out

Today I'm going to the Virginia House. The website says it's a house that was built in England and relocated to Richmond. I'm walking there, and while I have my Google Maps app, I really have only a vague idea where I'm going. Hilarity may ensue.

I've just set out. Approaching the elementary school. Stay tuned for further reports.
