I find Google street view fun for that reason. It is like time travel as the pictures are real and quite detailed and, although it is not a long period of time, you look at the pictures and can jump times.
One of the street views of my place has my nephew working in my front yard. I jokingly tell him it's the only piece of proof that he works.
But it is also interesting that you can kind of get an idea of the economic times of a place. One picture will show a busy intersection, but a few years later you can see "for sale" signs and empty streets. Sometimes I find it a little eerie.
