View Larger Map
Nearly every D.C. street is captured, with the exception of Pennsylvania Avenue and E Street NW by the White House, some military areas, and the Hillandale gated community in Burleith. Outside of the District, coverage is a little spottier — most of eastern Montgomery County has Street View, but large portions of western Montgomery and most of Prince George's don't. Arlington and Alexandria are nearly complete and some of the streets elsewhere in Northern Virginia, and around Baltimore, Annapolis, and Fredericksburg have been captured. You can even recreate the boring I-95 journey from the North Carolina border to Philly.
To use it, you click the Street View button on the Google Map window, then position your little yellow man where you want to see. You can rotate the man and move him up and down the street. There are some weird things too, like this blurred sign in a parking garage. And unfortunately they didn't go to Adams Morgan at 2 a.m. Let us know in the comments if you find anything hilarious or strange on our byways.
And now if they could only update their aerial photography of D.C. — the Nats ballpark and American Indian Museum are done and the old Convention Center is long gone, guys.

that blurred picture is at the building where there was a lot of back and forth last year where security guards said you couldn't take pictures because it was a "national security" issue. yeah, right.
there are some weird blocks missing here and there. like 3rd street north of anna marie cooper circle in ledroit park, for example.
ABOUT TIME!
Finally... I've been waiting for this for quite a while now!
My neighborhood (in Rosslyn) was captured with snow on the ground... not very typical! :)
Why do people get excited about this?
Google creeps me out these days... Where'd I put my tin foil hat...
Nice to see our Honda Civic -- with Bear Pride and Bad Badtz Maru decals -- parked on our street. *grin*
nice!!
Cool! I can see my mom's house from here!
Hey, Ma! Get off the roof!
Damn close, but no cigar.
Whoa! They even did our place way out in BF nowhere.
Where's the love for Pentagon City in Arlington? It's like they purposely skipped the whole area...
Any idea when these were first taken? It's got Nationals Park almost complete but you can't position the little man on South Capitol because it was being repaved.
Moving through GWU, it clearly shows either Fall move-in or Spring move-out as street parking restriction signs and metal ramps in front of the dorms adorn the whole campus.
Dude. That's awesome.
Some of the ones in Arlington are taken during summer, others when there's snow on the ground. So, turn left here when it's sunny, but when you turn left it's winter! Don't go there!
Also some were obviously taken as early as six months ago - the car at my parents' house no longer exists.
Pretty sweet, though!
