Google FINALLY releases street view for Canada



I can't tell you how long I've been waiting for this. It's so nice to be able to visit my old neighborhoods when I get home sick or nostalgic. Unfortunately, Montreal was photographed in the winter when the trees are not lush and amazing. Alas. It's still better than nothing. Here are some of my old apartments.

Van Horne Ave in Montreal
Hutchison Street in Montreal
St-Viateur St in Montreal
Somerset Drive in Ottawa

And here are a few other interesting sights.

Convenience store on Baseline Rd. in Ottawa (used to be Beckers, is now a Mac's)
One of my favorite parks on Commercial Drive in Vancouver
Canadian Parliament in Ottawa
Controversial block of Hastings Street in Vancouver
Best damn bagels in Montreal
Old jam space in Montreal (rented music rehearsal rooms by the hour)
Holy crap, this was an empty lot last time I was at this intersection in Montreal

Okay, I better stop now because nostalgia is starting to sweep over me. Why can't I be everywhere at once?!

I now issue the following request to my Canadian friends: Please post your favorite and/or memorable locations in the comments! I'd love to see them!
