In the summer some art students did a little project where they wrote out large words in a parking lot downtown in the hopes that if Google updated their images for the city the message would be seen. It turns out that their plan worked! I thought it was kind of neat.
This parking lot is about to go bye bye in a month due to a large complex being built there so I think it's neat they managed to pull it off in time.
The message says 'AS OF 2011 09 21 WE ARE ALIVE & WELL'
