While we might be a little late to the “somewhere on Google Maps” trend, we always have a soft spot for nostalgia.
Here’s how it works: Folks search their home address to find special memories captured by Google over time, like their grandfather mowing the lawn, childhood pets in the driveway, or even themselves playing outside.
It got us thinking — what moments in Lexington have been memorialized by Google Maps? Here’s what we found.
City Center
Somewhere on Google Maps... it’s 2007 and someone is shopping at Rite Aid Pharmacy, long before this city block went through various iterations including the field, the pit, and now City Center.
Main Street
Somewhere on Google Maps... it’s 2019 and Lexingtonians are using the skyway to walk over Main Street.
The Manchester
Somewhere on Google Maps... it’s 2012 and a seven-story luxurious boutique hotel on Manchester Street wasn’t even a twinkle in anyone’s eye.
The Burl
Somewhere on Google Maps... it’s 2012 and Thompson Street had no idea it would host hundreds of fans to see the likes of Band of Horses, Wynona Judd, and Tyler Childers.
Mirror Twin Brewing Co.
Somewhere on Google Maps... it’s 2012 and these ordinary warehouses were not yet home to one of Lexington’s popular breweries, Mirror Twin.
ItalX
Somewhere on Google Maps... it’s 2007 and The Dame is hosting musicians like The Avett Bros. + The Black Keys, long before ItalX took its place.
