If you’ve played with google maps and the ’streetview’ feature you’ve probably dragged the little orange chap onto a road and checked out the street you used to live on, your favourite pub, or the workplace of the  girl/bloke you used to stalk.

Google Map in NYC....hey Joe !

Put it to some Clash use. Visit google maps and then type Avenue A and East 7th ave new york. Go to the walk  feature and head a little South, on the wall of the red brick building you’ll see the Joe Strummer memorial painting. Zoom in and enjoy. (Incidentally the mural was updated this past February see here for the ‘new look’ and thanks to eagle eyed Clash Blog visitors for pointing it out)

Good stuff!   Tim
