I thought people may or may not be amazed by this photo. If you know where it is, you may be in awe as I was with nostalgia, but if you don't instantly recognize it, you will not care one iota. FYI, it is dated 1991.

As an interesting side note, Microsoft's mapping site is a vast improvement over Google Maps, at least in terms of images. In certain areas like Tucson, you get a "bird's eye view" which gets some very high quality shots of the city. I can even see my house with pretty good clarity, I may post it later. Further, in areas where satelite imagery is not as clear as others, it automatically switches to aerial photographs which as you can see, are pretty decent.

It's so amazing, my first ever Wikipedia post. It is on the dissolved Armstrong County, SD. Why do ask, did I write a seemingly pointless article on a dissolved county? Well it boils down to my graduate research and while checking the dataset I am using for accuracy, I came across an unusual county. I have been using Wikipedia to cross reference some census data and noticed that Armstrong County did not have a Wikipedia entry . I decided I always wanted to contribute a bit, and this was my chance . Let me know what you think. I didn't add the map due to the possibility that it wouldn't qualify under fair use.

Oh by the way, checking for data integrity sucks. Especially when you have to determine how some data points were combined for a single data point.
