360-degree images of the St. Thomas Aquinas Community
Our classmate, Dan Carr, has put up a blog which creatively uses Google images to provide a current look at the community immediately surrounding St. Tommy's. He has "captured" views of the Church, school, rectory and convent as well as street scenes viewed from
- Laramie and Washington,
- Le Claire and West End,
- West End and Leamington
- Washington and Le Claire
Because the images are 360 degrees, it takes a few seconds for them to load -- so please be patient. Once the pictures have loaded, you will be able to navigate up, down, AND all around to get a full-circle view from the perspective point. There are multiple images on each post and several posts, so be sure to click on "older posts" at the bottom right-hand corner of each page to view them all. The images provide a wonderful look at the neighborhood today.
Also, Dan has created a four-minute "drive-around-St.-Tommy's-in-the-rain" video. Be sure to check it out too! Dan has offered to take other videos, so take a look at his Blog and MAKE A SUGGESTION.

Yes, Elaine, you can call me 'Dan.' You called me 'Dan' for eight years during the fifties. It still fits. Thanks for all the work you're putting into this blog. And thanks for linking to my hastily put together Aquinasville. Looking at the photos you've posted, I've been stunned by how familiar these faces are that I haven't seen for fifty plus years. Looking at the Google Street Views, it's remarkable how familiar so many buildings are from so long ago. You and Google inspired me to take a drive in the rain this evening, and I posted the video here. Again, thanks a bunch, Elaine.
ReplyDeleteBy the way, you won't be able to view the Google street level photos on your iPhone or iTouch. Ask Steve Jobs about that.
