Google Maps updates streetview for New Orleans, reminds us the jazz plays on
In many ways, Google’s Streetview is a document. A snapshot in time. Usually, this amounts to pictures of a sunny clear day in downtown Localsville, but it can also be a reminder of times less bright. Since Hurricane Katrina, the city has been working hard to rebuild neighborhoods and communities, and better prepare itself for the future. Today — via Google’s Lat Lon Blog — Mayor Mitch Landrieu proudly announced that Streetview has been updated to reflect those efforts, and show New Orleans in that familiar, sunny way. Whether it’s Congo Square (“the birthplace of jazz”), the city’s parks, or more recent features and attractions, Landrieu proudly extends an invite to all of us to come take a look, enjoy the virtual tour, and “whet our appetite.” We say put the Gumbo on.
