Google maps has real pictures. Just click on satellite  http://maps.google.com/ 

They are being asked to pay a fee for government satellite time, WBMG.

In Pennsylvania the Governor promised not to rise any state taxes and is trying to cut the cost of government in the state. It has gone why up under the eight years of former Governor "Fast Eddie" Rendell, same thing he did a Mayor of Philadelphia

One way is to raise money is charge Commercial users a fee for the use of PA DOT and Game Commission satellite images.

I has occasion a few year ago to go to a convention help in the Pennsylvania Convention Center in Philadelphia.

I ask a Cop why the had changed the name from the former Philadelphia Convention Center.

He told me  "Fast Eddie" Rendell built the Center when he was Mayor, and HALF of the employees were stealing money like crazy.

He said when Rendell became Governor, the state took over because of all of the corruption going on.  Now that the state owns it ALL of the  of the employees are stealing even MORE of the money.   ;-)

I noticed today that many of the 'ground-view' photographs are gone too.
