Street with a View is a collaboration between the folks at Google (Maps) Street View.

On May 3rd 2008, artists Robin Hewlett and Ben Kinsley invited the Google Inc. Street View team and residents of Pittsburgh’s Northside to collaborate on a series of tableaux along Sampsonia Way. Neighbors, and other participants from around the city, staged scenes ranging from a parade and a marathon, to a garage band practice, a seventeenth century sword fight, a heroic rescue and much more…

Originally my friend Jay sent me one of the scenes directly in GoogleMaps, only to realize that it was staged later. It’s a great project, even if it did kinda’ ruin the hilarity of the scene.
