My house is on there now. They didn't do my street, but since we're the first house from the corner, you get full view of it.

I was hoping that the mostly unexciting homes of San Leandro would not become Google fodder but perhaps we won't be so lucky ...

Uninteresting?? You need to drive around a bit. San Leandro is a town where people carve their outdoor plants into freakish shapes, or tear out their lawns and replace them with rocks in strange geometric patterns. For Example, look at this crazy place: Strange Hedge (http://maps.google.com/maps?f=q&hl=en&q=946+kenyon+avenue,+94577&sll=37.714483,-122.129731&sspn=0.023764,0.034547&ie=UTF8&ll=37.728604,-122.13619&spn=0.01188,0.024312&z=16&om=0&layer=c&cbll=37.722616,-122.137164&cbp=2,281.660909867363,0.530671713262959,3)
Wait, thats my house!. Or look at this one:
Control Freak Plants

Rocks and carved weird plants. That one is just a block away.

Okay, okay ... I knew I'd get into trouble with you for that one. :)

Seems like I need to drive 'round town a bit more and see the sights. The folks in my 'hood are really fond of chain-link fences and cement yards, both of which make me cringe.
