The larger building in the center is my puny high school.

I prefer world wind, you get just as much, if not more, detail of N.America. Wish they'd put as much detail into the UK world wind images.

Well, on the downloadable version i found a car parked illegaly across two parking spaces in the parking lot above the white building in the middle http://maps.google.com/maps?q=01833&ll=38.901558,-77.017035&spn=0.007564,0.010643&t=k&hl=en

In relation ot whitehouse (near bottom, blurred out)

Whitehouse in reelation to big river

If you cant find that far i'm not posting anymore shots, the river is the one that looks all segmented when you zoom in.

and my house...

See near the middle of trhe picture, the little white square is a tent i had in my back yard until a heavy rainfall bent the big steel supports holding it up (rain and cloth are strong forces)

And my house its the one in wich the square is in the backyard.

Edit: you may wanna zoom in a step on theese, for some reasong google maps zoomso ut when copying the link.
