Google Earth view of 905 Circle Dr.

GoogleEarth_Image

Resolution of Los Alamos is now much better Google Earth than a couple of years ago. This picture shows our neighborhood called 2500 Central . Circle Drive enters off Rose street on the left. The first house on the left is 900 Circle Dr. and the numbers increase as you go around the outside of the road. The four houses in the center island are 926 to 929. Ours is 905 Circle Dr., which is the right hand side of the third pair from Rose St. That is the Mesa Public Library just behind our house. The architect wanted it to look like a bird from the air, and for that he got some sort of award. Other architects like it, but the building is not very functional. The building just across Central from 2500 Central is the new movie theater called the Reel Deal Theater. The developer was Bill Deal, who we occasionally see at Santa Fe Opera functions. The dark area in the upper right is Ashley Pond, named after the person Ashley Pond, who founded the Los Alamos Ranch School (see http://www.losalamoshistory.org/school.htm). Los Alamos Canyon appear in the upper right.
