A sobering Google Streetview journey

Notice that an area right at the start point on the bridge is blurred out?

Between the 10th and 11th pole for the railing on the right side.
Curious looks like it just fuzzes there for some reason moving away a bit and looking at the same spot its more clear.

It could be Googles 'face/numberplate recognition software' being a bit overzealous, I have noticed in other places where it's blurred something completely randomly.

The sobering thought is that they still have better roads than in the UK.

Zoom out into Google maps and go to the north-west, you should be able to see it there.

Aye, that's what gets me the most, everything just left like it was that day two years ago, passing the elementary school and seeing the grass growing out in the playground, it's pretty sad to think of the children suddenly plucked away from their homes and scattered throughout Japan. I wonder if they will face the same sort of discrimination that the survivors of Hiroshima and Nagasaki faced, the Hibakusha. One can hope that the campaigns that the original Hibakusha launched, and the fact that they survived this long will help remove the discrimination for the next generation of Hibakusha.
Certainly though, through studies of families evacuated from the exclusion zone, the major health problems have been mental rather than physical.

And Houston. We need a new mayor. Streets here are like 3rd world country.

I did notice back in 2008

Some epic thread necromancy, just to point out that since I last checked the area, quite a bit more of the exclusion zone has been mapped, including the approach roads to the power station itself.

Hm don't get me wrong, but moving along that road looks like in Greece, lots of litter beside the streets and very dry.
Or outside of Houston - all flat, and dry, and litter ..
