“Way way back when Google Street View debuted in Edmonton, the Twitter meme of “you stay classy, #yeg” started up when it was found a blatant drug deal was caught in front of Milla’s Pub on 101st Street.

Well today [Nov. 1, 2010] I discovered that, like many other drug deals caught on Street View, the image has been removed. Remember the brownish van from the first picture? In this [last] one, you can see the empty sidewalks…and the van is still there. It almost looks like Google straight out deleted these guys [and their garbage bags] wholesale from the photos.”

Residential School mural? #yeg #edmonton #trains (at Grandin/Government Centre LRT Station)
