If you ditch the King, I’m sure we’d gladly add three or four more states. As long as we don’t have to understand cricket.

I just encountered this on Google Maps for the first time. This is a private address in a residential area. Does this mean there is some kind of form that a property owner can fill out and request opt-out from Street View? Or is this just a glitch?

Ya know, it’s strange. I watched movies growing up as a kid, from “The Guns of Navarone” to “Raiders of the Lost Ark” 😜, where it was very clear the Nazis were the “bad guys”. Now I’m witnessing a bonkers world where they’re suddenly the good guys again? Unreal.
