However, for those who might be interested, I will note that Google Maps now has Street View in the Boston area, including on Grove Street here in Watertown.  <a href="http://maps.google.com/maps?f=q&amp;hl=en&amp;geocode=&amp;time=&amp;date=&amp;ttype=&amp;q=grove+st+%26+coolidge+hill+rd+watertown+ma&amp;sll=42.37313,-71.149392&amp;sspn=0.008021,0.024483&amp;layer=c&amp;ie=UTF8&amp;ll=42.373209,-71.149242&amp;spn=0.008021,0.017445&amp;z=16&amp;iwloc=addr&amp;om=1&amp;cbll=42.36911,-71.15036&amp;cbp=1,182.59142578846826,,0,5.868294994495797" title="Grove &amp; Coolidge Hill">This here</a> is the site where they&#8217;re planning to build their apartment building; if the photo doesn&#8217;t pop up, click the &#8220;Street View&#8221; button up top and drag the view around to look at the brick building, and you&#8217;ll have about the same angle as the artist&#8217;s rendition the Hanover Company is using to promote this plan.  (In their <a href="http://hanoverco.com/sub.asp?p=Portfolio" title="Hanover Company Portfolio">portfolio</a>, either use the thumbnails or the &#8220;select by property&#8221; link at the bottom to find &#8220;Watertown Grove&#8221;.)</p>
<p>I think it&#8217;s pretty clear that the building they want to build just doesn&#8217;t fit in the space they want to build it in.</p>
