Ok I've been wanting to start this game up ever since the new Streetview images went online in the UK last week. Nearly everyone on the forum should be able to contribute something to this game now.
So this is all just a bit of fun, post links to your favorite places to go to in your local area and leave a short discription of what it is and what you do there..etc.
Its up to you if you post your own house..but some people might feel weird about it.
To find the area you are looking for do the following:
Google Maps (http://maps.google.co.uk/maps?hl=en&tab=wl)
- Type in a location/Street adress/Zip or Postcode to locate the location you are looking for.
- Find the area using the map view and then click and drag the orange "Streetview" icon over the street you want.
- This opens up the area in the "Streetview" then use your arrow keys and mouse to navigate to the place you want us to see.
- Finally click the "Link" button above the picture and copy and place the link into your post.

So here is a link to a few of my places
(Best I could do cause my hometown isn't on the service yet)
Queens Unniveristy Main Building:
Don't actually go into this building but I had to walk past it everyday last year when I was still living in Belfast..if you click on the link you'll also see my Student Union on the opposite side of the road.

Limelight:
Gotta be my favorite night out in Belfast !! Used to go all the time. Doesn't look like much from the outside (Especially during the day)..it consists of 3 small bars/clubs (Spring & Airbrake, Katy Dalys, Limelight) all 3 are connected to each other from the inside..play really awesome music and if one of the 3 rooms is playing something you don't like one of the others is bound to, if you ever find yourself in Belfast I definitely suggest it !! (Best on a Tuesday night)

City Hall Belfast:
A lot of students hang out around this building, especially during the summer when the sun is out. I also has Belfast's answer (ripoff) to the London Eye beside it..the..can you guess? The Belfast Eye !! Wow that's original :lol:
