I drive past this every day going to work. It is actually located in the suburb of Hurst.

Uh, er, I believe you have taken my stapler. Uh, uh, er, now I'm going to set the building on fire.

Take the money and jump!!!

The images have been somewhat updated. Google Maps and Live Local have pics during construction of new Wembley. Yahoo Maps still shows old Wembley intact.

New update, as of May 15, 2007, the mall has been completely razed. Plans are for a medical center to be built on the site.

Calling Sam Fisher...

Demolition has begun. As of April 2007, all that remains is the old Foley's, which is at the north end of the mall. The rest is rubble. The Foley's that is still standing is featured in the Local Live thumbnail.

This is on Grapevine Middle School, in the city of Grapevine. Kinda ironic, since in Keller ISD a few miles away, they don't even allow soda sales in any schools, so logo placement just blows me away.

Plus these things are all over the place in northern Tarrant County. They put one up that nicely obscures my view of downtown Fort Worth.

The road in question is Basswood Blvd. I drive past this going to and from work everyday. They have built it up since this pic, and there's a housing development further down the road now.

Personally, I like seeing them suck. I'm from St. Louis, a city that the Bidwills screwed over. At least we got a Lombardi trophy, something Arizona will never get.

There's one I know of in OK that is not in hi-res, at least last time I checked. It's the one that is on a bridge over the Will Rogers Turnpike near Vinita. As for mapping all, there's bound to be some duplicity. There are two McD's just down the freeway from me that would be on the same map. Good thing we aren't going for Starbucks here; that would be hellacious!

They say JANET is an acronym for Just Another Non Existant Transport.

Are you seriously gonna find every McDonald's?

This seems to have similar qualities with an image I submitted a while back. Looks like clouds to me.

I forgot to mention, the end of the movie "Escape from New York" was filmed on this bridge.

Also, I drove past this park today. It is called Cross Timbers Park.

If I'm not mistaken, Mike Lansing played for the Rockies in the mid 1990s. Is this park named after him?

Very cool attraction. Also worth noting, directly due north, the round building and connecting roadway is the Epcot Test Track.

Also, the Gardens are replicated on the Conn Smythe trophy, given to the NHL Playoffs MVP.

How does the runway at Area 51 measure up to this one, or the others mentioned above?

It's funny how the Capitol Building is pixelated and other buildings like the White House have their roofs shaded in, yet on Terraserver and other sites they are not.

You nailed it. Google Earth recently added high-res imagery of Kuala Lumpur and it matches what you found.

Former home of the Oklahoma City 89ers/Oklahoma Redhawks before they moved to the SBC Bricktown Ballpark downtown

It appears that the wreckage from those homes are strewn about the neighboring area. You can clearly see piles of debris a couple blocks from the levee breach.

And before it remodeled into a tennis center. it was home of the Montreal Expos from 1969-1976, before they moved into Olympic Stadium.

Actually, it's the track and field classic in conjunction with the Sugar Bowl. The game itself is played in the Superdome, although it looks like it'll be in Baton Rouge this year.

There was just a segment on FOX 4 News in Dallas that reported that any surviving sealife and other animals were transported to various other facilities, including the Dallas World Aquarium, until the Aquarium of the America's is functioning again.

As with all the post-Katrina images, the difference is just unbelievable when you switch between the regular image and the hurricane images.

Good thing that the French Quarter was mostly spared. That's probably the most culturally important area of New Orleans.

Also notice the torn-up roof on the grandstand.

Worth noting, on the Wikipedia entry for the Superdome, they have an anaglyphic image of the the satellite imagery. Be sure you have red-blue 3D glasses though.

Someone has to do it, may as well be me:

"I am Cornholio! I am from Lake Titicaca! TITICACA!!! TITICACA!!!"

Well AlbinoFlea, you've cornered the market, so now there'll be "Hell" to pay! (Let the bad puns begin!)

Don't get me wrong, I like the Cowboys (I have to living in the area), but lately I think the hole is to let the stench out.

This is actually in N. Richland Hills, not Keller

Anybody watching it this season? Great television. Sucks that Kaysar got evicted TWICE!

This is actually the last remaining runway from the old Great Southwest Airport. This was Fort Worth's airport to counter Love Field before DFW was built. I remember that Airport Freeway run under this runway in a tunnel. They rebuilt this area about 10-15 years ago and the runway south of Airport Freeway is now Amon Carter Blvd.

After comparing to maps from Expedia, I'm guessing that this is in the city of Springwood, just to the SE of Brisbane.

My grandmother is buried there. The grounds are quite beautiful there.

This looks really cool on Google Earth

It's definitely cooler than the boring-shaped wave pools in D/FW. :)

Oh, the humanity! Good find.

This looks absolutely amazing on Google Earth!

This kind of intersection couldn't possibly be built in Fort Worth, or anywhere else in the US, for that matter. It would take valuable room from restaurants, gas stations and hotels. :)

Also of note, the darkened area in the center parking lot is the site of the old Exhibition Stadium, former home of the Blue Jays from 1977-1989. The course used to curve around the stadium.

Eminent domain came up in North Texas a few years ago. If you look at my pic of North East Mall, the development to the south used to be a neighborhood of very large homes that had been there for as long as I can remember. The city of Hurst did the same thing the New London is doing and now it is a shopping center.

Also worth noting, Grapevine Mills Mall is home to Dr Pepper StarCenter-Grapevine

For most of my time there, it was half it's current size. During my junior year, they were building the second gymnasium on the north end and the extension on the south end.

I've been there before. Some of the wax statues are too lifelike for me.

That's what I figured, but it just looks freaky. And there is actually another instance of multiple shots of the same plane just to the east from this one.

I wasn't quite sure of the name of it. I knew about it and I used a Mapsco to find where it was. I should have guessed since the road next to the runway was called Hillcrest Dr.

Hat trick! However the link bumps you to the northeast away from this site. Proper link would be this:
http://maps.google.com/maps?ll=34.943175,-85.395827&spn=0.012810,0.018153&z=1&t=k&hl=en

Looks like it could be an offshore oil rig. Kinda tough to tell though.

Separate map submitted for Gund Arena. When I originally submitted, I didn't put the apostrophe in "Jacobs" so that's why it didn't pop up for you.

Good find! I remember going there as a kid. It was so cool!

I submitted this one before, but it was with neighboring Gund Arena also.

The stadium is called Fouts Field

Useless trivia: There is one row of seats in the upper deck that is purple instead of green. This row is exactly 5,280 feet above sea level.

This used to be Bergstrom AFB before it became an airport

The 007 film where Bond bungee-jumped from this dam was GoldenEye. Also recreated in the N64 game.

Wow, jumbo shrimp sure are bigger these days :)
