Newspaper offices in Google Maps Street View
By William M. Hartnett on Aug 7, 2007 in featured, newspaper buildings
For no particular reason, apart from the fact that Google Maps now has Street View imagery in four new cities, and that I just think it’s kind of cool, let’s go on a tour of newspaper offices. First up is the Orlando Sentinel:
I was hoping to see the old New York Times building, but West 43rd Street isn’t covered in Street View. Here’s the new New York Times tower:
Better catch this one before they lose another $330 million, switch off the lights and outsource the whole show. It’s the San Francisco Chronicle:
Still can’t believe this prime waterfront site survived the Knight Ridder years, The Miami Herald:
The Denver Newspaper Agency, publisher of The Denver Post and Rocky Mountain News. If you jump a notch down Cleveland Place, you’ll see older imagery of the same building while it was still being built:
Like San Francisco, San Diego’s Street View imagery is high resolution. Here’s The San Diego Union-Tribune:
One of the truly iconic newspaper buildings, the Los Angeles Times:
Not the most flattering view of what looks to be a back entrance to The Houston Chronicle, but it’s the only view I could find in which the name was visible:
Las Vegas has Street View coverage, too, but not the particular street on which the Las Vegas Review-Journal is situated. But, really, who cares about a newspaper office in a city with as many exciting sights as Las Vegas? For example:
That’s the totally happening Clark County Library, where, true story, I once spent a very, very quiet afternoon literally just hanging out. Add it to your next Vegas itinerary.
Anyone have any other media-related Street View shots to share? Or just generally interesting views? Extra points if it involves cats or people picking their nose. Check out the Google Maps Mania blog if you’d like to continue geeking out on maps.
