The Indianapolis Star has an article about Google Maps Street View service. It doesn't have every street in Indy mapped, but it does have a lot (including our neighborhood). If you haven't tried Street View, it is pretty interesting. You get basically stroll down the street viewing the neighborhood from the street.

"Google has added Indy and seven other cities to its “Street View” service, (http://maps.google.com/) a new twist on Internet mapping that lets users explore 360-degree panoramic photos of cityscapes and even residential streets.
Catching offbeat images in Street View has become the subject of a blog devoted entirely to the subject.

The images, including a police officer pulling over a driver, car accidents or attractive joggers, are at http://www.streetviewfun.com/.

Indianapolis' one appearance on the site comes when a Google camera catches a horse at a strange angle, making it appear as if it's headless.'
