More newspaper offices in Google Maps Street View

Google added Street View to six new cities today, including high resolution imagery in Phoenix, Tucson and parts of Chicago, along with the ability to pan up to the tops of buildings. You know what this means: More newspaper buildings. (Click on over this way for the previous installment, mash your mouse here to see my Paper View Monday series of newspaper buildings in Microsoft’s Virtual Earth/Live Maps or click on the pictures below to map-fiddle at your own pace.)

Let’s first stop by the home of The Philadelphia Inquirer and Daily News, where we see that it’s possible to frame a pretty decent picture in Street View. Or a fitting one, anyway.

The Oregonian in rainy old Portland. They don’t get a link because some absolutely ridiculous anti-spyware ad took over my browser when I tried to visit their site. Not cool.

The unmistakable neo-Gothic home of the Chicago Tribune. Did anything ever come of the talk that this one might be on the block, too?

And the Sun-Times. I was hoping Google’s imagery might be dated enough to include the old Sun-Times building, but no dice. Just a construction view of the stupidly huge, anonymous glass tower that replaced it.

It’s not all corporate media in Chicago, you know. Unless I’m mistaken, this here is the worldwide headquarters of the Chi-Town Daily News, the nonprofit online newspaper/citizen journalism experiment/Knight Foundation grant winner.

Brown. The Pittsburgh Post-Gazette building looks very brown in this picture.

Pop quiz: Is The Arizona Republic a newspaper or a bank? Difficult to tell from its building.

No great shots of the Arizona Daily Star in Tucson are available in Street View, so here’s a bit of desert.
