Hey guys, lately when bored at work I've been browsing Google street view trying to find interesting areas and I find it quite captivating. It's like stepping into a different world! So I thought it would be cool if everyone shared their street so we can step into each other's worlds and "walk" around the neighborhood.
Obviously not everyone might want to share their adress but we can keep it general and just show the street. Or the neighborhood. Or the town. You can share a short description of what we're looking at and where you can go.
Here goes! This is my street, I live in one of the houses on the right side. It's a quiet street, going parallell with a much bigger road on the other side of my block. if you move forward along the street you will get to a really nice square with some cafés and resturants. The area is up and coming after being quite rough for a number of years but still very affordable due to the bad reputation of the city of Malmö in general.

I do this occasionally when I get the urge for a road trip. I always say I'm going to drive to some little town in the west and see what it has to offer. Then I go there in Google maps and change my mind.
But I think flexxx's idea is kind of cool - just don't pick anywhere near where you live if you're worried about it. I will drop you guys off by where I used to work in Portland - the hip, trendy part of town. Pick a direction from there.

Maybe this link works? You can't see my house directly unfortunately, this is as close as you can get.
Fredde: That's weird your new street in Malmö looks soooo much like the street in Kiel in Germany where my brother in law lives.

NA that is such an adorable community. I love it. 
I won't post where I live, but I'll post my 2nd home, the Longwood Area of Boston: https://www.google.com/maps/@42.337789,-71.105156,3a,75y,269.42h,88.79t/data=!3m4!1e1!3m2!1sZJFDEmudmHAhzf8y5iCj8g!2e0
That was taken while it was still nice out. D: The perk of my most-likely college choice is that it's right down the road!! https://www.google.com/maps/@42.336638,-71.098051,3a,75y,304.5h,93.58t/data=!3m4!1e1!3m2!1sXP6x43cUoBMvmbLUwxf65Q!2e0
Turn around and check out the treehouse dorm if you haven't seen it, it's amazing but I can't afford to live there haha!!
