The theater’s gotten a lot of publicity as a result. The rest of my Grand Lake set is here: View link I’m rather proud of my interiors (although I’m not terribly fond of the paint finishes they used)
This link explains how it works. It’s fully automated. If they waited, they would just snarl traffic and make the situation worse. You have to pass the truck/bus at some point, and piling up cars behind you doesn’t help matters. Not to mention that the intended purpose of Street View is to give some idea of what an area looks like rather than providing researchers like us detailed photos. I’m sure technology will have advanced considerably in a few years time, anyway. I’ve heard that they are outfitting some vehicles with laser cannons now to make 3D object mapping possible – like really high-resolution sonar. That sort of thing will provide us with considerably more detail.

They’re cars with camera domes on top. It would be really uneconomical to actually survey and photograph everything by foot.

a likely photo of this appears in the journal The American City, feb 1916, p 161. Here

Can we agree now that changing this listing to “Visionary” was premature, since it was only a name used on the telephone for about a month?
