The people who run my old apartment complex in Florida should really complain to Google.

The property shows up fine in search results, but the Street View is doing nothing to entice people to move there (or any part of Jacksonville).  I say this after randomly deciding to look at it tonight and noticing something very familiar in the parking lot:

That’s my car in the middle, with my apartment to the right of the big tree.  The photo says it was taken in December 2007, which was two months after I moved in.  To be fair, this is exactly what the sky looked like when I arrived — grey, nasty, feeling very rain-like.  But of course that’s not what you picture when you think of Florida.

The Street View van has been back to the city since then.  Check out what my former workplace looked like in April 2011:

That’s more like it, right?  The sun and the green vegetation project some actual warmth.  The same is true at the beach, taken the next month (how long does it take to drive around a city?)

So Google, do the very nice folks at Beach Villas a favor and give them some better Street View pics. People need to know I vacated that parking space.
