North Oaks Removed from Street View

StarTribune.com reports that North Oaks, Minnesota, a small suburb of Minneapolis, has requested that Street View for their entire town be removed. Because these streets are supposedly private property, Google removed them immediately.

South Hill Street View Sighting

The South Hill Enterprise reports a sighting of the Google Street View car in South Hill, Virginia, which is located in between Richmond and Raleigh. The newspaper contacted a Google, Inc., representative, who said that Street View imagery was still being updated in a variety of areas.

Why South Hill, Virginia? This could mean there will be quite a handful of more locations in this upcoming batch we've been waiting months for.
