The post made here reminded me of a previous post I made about Pegasus Museum here.
I wanted to try to see if it would be feasible to move kids from Pegasus to a port/dock (per @quantokitty's post here, so I decided to pull Pegasus Museum up on Google Maps. When I did that, I noticed that the original street view (from the alley in front of Pegasus) is GONE! Streetview now pulls up the townhouses on the other side of Pegasus (where the word "Kids" can be seen spray painted on the wall next to the sidewalk), NOT the alley view of the actual Pegasus museum building:

I tried to loop back around to the Pegasus building by "walking" around Trolley Park and down the alley way, but it will only let me go so far. Is it normal for entire streets to just go missing off of Google Streetview....? Am I going crazy?
EDIT: I was able to drag the yellow Google maps man down to the alley in front of Pegasus, and streetview worked that way. However, doing a Google Maps search for Pegasus still brings up the wrong address in street view, and I am still unable to "walk" around Trolley Park to it.

Google earth is still available. https://earth.google.com/web/@38.93317425,-77.02902046,59.80931268a,57.16785592d,35y,80.90887342h,40.44044371t,-0r/data=ClAaThJICiQweDg5YjdjODE5NzJlODkzYzU6MHg2NTRjNmI2MmUxZGJlNzAZrblIRnN3Q0AhrbAqDNtBU8AqDlBlZ2FzdXMgTXVzZXVtGAIgAQ

Good find, I figured out I can drag the yellow Google Maps man down in front of Pegasus and it will work as well, but those are the only ways I can get it to work. I also just noticed the Google street view images are from 2017, so they've been updated....are there any visible differences in Pegasus now vs Pegasus when we first discovered it, I wonder?

Oh, that's what the little yellow guy is for.
