+Google has expanded its Street View imagery with Google Maps to include views of downtown San Diego, Los Angeles, Houston and Orlando. The [new cities][2] bring the Street View service, which [launched earlier this year][3], to a total of nine metropolitan areas -- with many more said to be in the works.
+
+Of the new additions only San Diego has high-resolution imagery, but the others aren't too bad.
+
+And as with a original release, armies of bored internet junkies are out looking for people caught in humorous or compromising situations. Be sure to check out the submissions and vote for your favorite in Wired's [gallery over on the Threat Level blog][1].
+
+You can submit your own images if you like, but it's going to be hard to top the dark irony of the image above -- a knife sharpening van parked outside OJ Simpson's old house.
