NOTE... I DO NOT PLAN TO HOST ANY IMAGES - MAPQUEST.COM HAS BETTER AERIAL PHOTOS THAT ARE IN COLOR AND UP TO DATE - BUT YOU HAVE TO SIGN UP FOR THE FREE SERVICE AND LOG IN TO SEE AERIAL PHOTOS... THE LOCATION ADDRESSES ARE ABOVE FOR THOSE WHO WISH TO ENTER EACH ADDRESS INTO MAPQUEST TO SEE THE BETTER AERIAL PHOTOS.
AT USGS (TERRASERVER) WHERE THE LINKS ABOVE LINK TO I ENTERED THE ADDRESS AND IT AUTOMATICALLY PUTS THE RED MARKER IN THE MIDDLE OF THE MAIN ROAD NEAR THE ACTUAL ADDRESS. I HAVE NO CONTROL OF WHERE THE RED MARKER SHOWS UP AND I CANNOT MOVE IT SO THAT IT SITS ON TOP OF THE ACTUAL BUILDING IN THE PICTURE. IF YOU CLICK THE LINK ABOVE, IT WILL TAKE YOU TO THE PHOTOS THAT APPEARED FOR ME AFTER I HAVE ALREADY ENTERED THE ADDRESSES.
Aerial Maps will open in a new window and they are interactive, you can zoom in or out on them.
Actual addresses were looked up using Yahoo's Yellow Pages and checking the maps
Point to point mileage was taken from Mapquest by entering in each address from the previous shooting address
The rest of the information was taken from several media sources like FOX, CNN, etc...

Hope So. Shootings need to stop.
