For those who aren't familiar with TerraServer, you can click on the
directional arrows to move the view to adjacent parts of the satellite
photo.  If the satellite image area is broad enough, you could move the
view all the way to Pittsburgh.  Long moves (over miles, not feet, of
land) are easier to navigate if you switch to a wider angle view of the
photo.  Look for land forms you can recognize.  Pittsburgh is easy to
find if you look for the three rivers; the Civic Arena also stands out.

By the way, there's an easy to recognize object on the image link below -
move about 1,000 ft. to the west to see a drive-in movie theater.
