Thanks to Google Maps or Google Earth, we can go back in time just a bit, and see what West Franklin Street used to look like. It would be really cool to find old photographs or Polaroids of the different streets in Evansville, and then compare what they look like now.
Of course, Franklin Street is really popping now that has been freshened up. The Google camera car needs to come back and update the enter street!
