One very bad winter morning in Columbus, Ohio, I heard a break-in at the church next door to my house. (They had a medical clinic.) I called the police, and guarded the broken window, in case he came back out the same way. But he never came out that way, he left by the side door, which is where a police cruiser was stuck at the time! So it worked out well for law and order, not so well for the burglar, and good for me, since I didn't have to fight the burglar. The particularly funny thing was that there is no hill at that location, at all.
here's the google streets view of the apartment house (we rented the downstairs) and the church. The police car was around the corner on the right side of the church, on Dennison Ave.
street view of house and church. My oldest son was born when we lived here, in September 77. This would have been that winter, I suppose.
Drive around in google street view, to see how very flat it is there. I taught around the corner, at Everett Jr. High School 1 block away. Easy Commute!
Ain't google street view great? You might think I was lying unless I posted the map showing where the alleged incident occurred!

Old Fogy Reminiscence Sweetness. That might be a good thread, to tell a story, and illustrate the location in google maps.
Seeing the photo of the location can help you reconstruct quite a few details of a memory.
