Google Maps Street View of Washington, D.C.

Google Maps keep changing. Now they can take you back in time. Go to Maps.Google.com and type in an address. Click on the word “Street View” and most likely they’ll show you a picture taken in 2011. If you move a slider to the left, however, you can go back to 2007 in many cities. Along with seeing how things were back then, there’s a strip of thumbnails at the bottom of the page, showing what else is around that spot. You can also click “Photo Tour” for photos of the area.
