Google Earth is very cool. I was able to find the house that I grew up in in Oakland and check out what Oakland High School looks like now (totally different from when I went there). I went to Red Square and saw the Lenin Mausoleum, St. Basil's and GUM department store all over again. The street level view is an amazing tool, and I can see patrons using it to get a sense of what a place looks like before they go to visit. But my favorite toy on the site was the flight simulator; it was a blast to feel like I was flying (even if I did crach a few time). Definitely a site to suggest to patrons for a wide variety of reasons/uses.
