Not sure if this has been posted yet, but this seems like a pretty cool idea. Hopefully people contribute content around Winston Salem.

Basically it uses Google maps to tag historical photos so that you can use street view to see how places change.

The mobile app will be an Augmented Reality program that will let you look at the pictures in orientation to where you are looking kind of like Yelp's monacle.

Someone needs to add in the pictures from some of those Winston Salem coffee table books that have old ones of RJR. Some of those shots from when Wake Forest was being built would be neat as well.

Actually, I just was googling for old Winston pictures to add in there when I have some free time and came across tie digital forsyth site that has a ton of them. There is a whole section on stadiums.

I think that's the old Howard Johnson's at the bottom right in the pic of Thruway.

I just uploaded one to that site from Digital Forsyth. Check it out with the fade function.
