Was in the Miami area over the Thanksgiving holiday. Saw these traffic lights that appear to have 3M green sections in them on each side. Kind of odd to have just one of the lights like this, plus the visors are round instead of the normal square-ish.

Those are McCain PV beacons, not 3M.

Thanks. Didn't realize there were other brands of this type of light.

McCain is also the only company that still makes PV signals. Intelight was another brand, but they stopped a few years ago.

Interestingly, there are three pairs of Intelight beacons here at one signal in Tampa. These aren't found anywhere else in the area.

Those are actually strobe tubes mounted on a more common signal housing. If they were true Intelights or Optisofts, you'd see a heat sink on the back of the housing.

Blurred building on GSV, i believe this was the site of a nightclub fire in the 1940's.

Well... if they are going to go through the trouble of blurring it on Streetview... they should blur the satellite view as well.

Why did Google blur the Home Alone house?

Google has no holiday spirit...

Maybe because Macaulay Culkin is still Home Alone inside.

The owners of it probably requested Google to blur it because they were tired of people looking at their house on street view.
