Google puts Asheville on the Map

Google Inc.’s effort to put 360-degree, street-level views of Asheville on the Web appears to be complete. The views of the city now appear on Google Street View, the California company’s effort to provide computer users with the up-close views of city streets and neighborhoods.
In April, Asheville residents noticed several small sedans zipping around town, each with a short pole and camera mounted to its top. The cars were traversing the city, recording the panoramic views now available online. A Google spokeswoman told Mountain Xpress that the company, which already has views of other North Carolina cities such as Durham and Chapel Hill available, was moving into smaller regions.
Some people have complained that the effort by Google, which also offers Google Earth maps using satellite imagery, is an invasion of privacy. Google, which says its trying to provide useful information to users, says it’s sensitive to privacy concerns and sticks to public roads for the Street View mapping. There’s also a procedure in place to allow people to request that specific views be taken down.
The Street View mapping isn’t perfect. The maps don’t cover 100 percent of city streets, and typing in an address won’t always bring up the exact spot on the street. But overall, the effort offers users trying to navigate Asheville a powerful new tool. Google also allows users to embed it’s maps into Web sites.

Asheville's Flat Iron Building, NYC junior

When Downtown Asheville North Carolina was designed, it was patterned after NYC... and we even have our own Flat Iron Building between none other than "Battery Park Avenue" and "Wall Street" Asheville. This is a landmark point in Asheville as it is packed out with so many little local shops and businesses. More like "Little New York City".

The MarketPlace Restaurant, Wall Street Asheville

Okay, here is one of the restaurants in Downtown Asheville that hits the TOP 5... easy. The food is beyond good, and the setting is fantastic. Thank you Marketplace!
