I have removed my house since, I wonder if you'll be able to get my mailing addess, something I dont wont on the internet....

but here is the New York State Capitol Building, this thing is impressive. Cost $25,000,000 to build in 1867-99 (32 years!!!)
Lon: -73.75742793915745
Lat: 42.65261204327983
you can only zoom in to the 3rd closest since its too big to get in on highest zoom.

If you want to see some 1867 Bling Bling you gotta see
\"the million dollar staircase\"
I know this link sucks but the faces are about 1 foot big, and look amazing in real life.

Also if you want to see something cool go here to see what Gov. Rockefeller put all the states money into. (you can see the capitol on the one end and the museum (Cultural Education Center) on the other end).

Look at the picture date. The pics are old, it's not a live image.

Yea, it's old because my house wasn't built until April/May '03 and they still show the land as dirt with no roads or anything started.
