AND FINALLY… when you are done with this –

Question: Google Street View gives us a snap shot of what life was like in the past. What do you think are some weaknesses to investigating the past/gentrification with Google Street View? What is missing?

The weakness I think of Googlemap is they only provide views in a limited period of the location. We could not see the views earlier than 2009.

And….

Question: If you could represent gentrification in this neighborhood on a map – what are some of the elements you would include????

I want to add some information about nearby restaurants that people can stop by.
