Y'all ever like to look at old satellite images of places you've spent time?

I’m from Central Florida. It’d be too depressing.

Google Timelapse

This is a good tool to use to compare satellite images from 1984 through 2022. The explosion of suburbs in northern Dallas over the years has been astonishing.

Anyone can download google earth and turn on historical imagery and slide along the years.

I love looking at these images and zooming in over areas that were developed in the last 20 yrs.
You can leave the roads layer on to see whats there now when looking at old imagery. This is Bluebonnet in 1989. No mall and notice where Bluebonnet runs(yellow line north of 10).



Uclub and Lexington Estates in 1989

Wanna see some high tech redneck shite?

I use it to find fishing spots on years when the lake was low. I can export my polygons/lines from google earth and then import them onto my depth finder/mapping unit.

Toledo Bend 2006



Old road beds, and under water points.

Wasn't there a plan, 5 or so years ago, to put in a lazy river on campus?

I’m at the point where I hate the growth rate. We are overpopulated as it is.

And if you really wanna see fricked up shite…Google earth a place like Frisco, TX. The population in the 2000 census was 34,000. The estimate now is 225,000.

The explosive growth of EBR Parish was in the 1950s-80s. It's been pretty much stagnant since then and, but for Katrina in 2005, probably would have declined since 2000.
