We’re not sure when it happened, but Google recently updated its collection of Street View images for Fayetteville.
The new images appear to have been taken sometime between mid-May and early June, considering the George’s marquee lists a May 17 Cletus Got Shot reunion show, and the banner over Dickson Street is promoting the June 15 Arkansas Statehood Celebration and Ice Cream Social event.
Regardless, it looks like Google captured Fayetteville during a beautifully sunny week. And from the clarity of the images, it’s obvious there’s been a significant upgrade of the Street View camera equipment since the last time Google was in town.
Below are a handful of things we initially noticed about the new images. Anyone find anything else interesting?
