Google Maps Car in Bridgeport

I came across the Google Maps car on my way back from an assignment from Kennedy Stadium.  Ironically where the car is on West Taft Street there is no street level view but it is parked in front of 562 West Taft near Norman Street.  The Geo coordinates are: geo:lat=41.18847667814022 geo:lon=-73.21054637432098  There were others taking photos when I stopped, why not you? Keep an eye out for the car.  Think of something crazy to do when it drives down your street! [caption id="attachment_3125" align="alignright" width="300" caption="Love the paint job!"][/caption]
