Windsor city council says Google Maps Street View is painting a rather unpleasant picture of the border city.
Council voted Monday night to contact Google and ask the internet giant
to return and take photographs of the Ontario city again.
The Google cameras were in the city one day in the summer of 2009.
However, the newly released street-level photographs captured the city
in the middle of a 15-week civic workers' strike, with unkempt gardens,
overflowing garbage bins and striking workers on the picket line.

If a city's residents are unhappy with the way the city is depicted
on Google Street View, should officials ask Google for second photo
shoot? Take our poll.
This is not a scientific poll. It is based on readers' votes.
