The Mount Vernon area was being put into pictures, literally, on Friday. Found zipping around town Friday afternoon was this unique-looking Google Maps vehicle which takes pictures of the landscape as it makes its tour around its selected area. The driver declined to speak to the News about his mission. Google Maps is a web mapping service application that powers many map-based services including the Google Maps website. Visitors to the website can identify a specific location by address and see recent photos of that location. (Photo by Alan Reed)
