that is the place i went to high school. not exactly random, although i did randomly select it from places i am familiar with. before the fieldhouse was added and a few other additions over the last few years it used to look like the letter A from the air (still kinda does) for Anderson.

on another note - i have no idea why finneytown shows up in that info bar - that is miles and miles away on the other side of the county.

yes the second one was cool.

here's another:

You not getting the boxes & descriptions? I suspect you're using a old(er) version of IE? Try it with Firefox...

The whole idea of Wikimapea is that just like Wikipedia anyone can comment on anything. So you could find your car pasked on a street and draw box around it and put a description on it...

I found this and it was so random it made me laugh. It was not what I was expecting to find where I was looking.
