Eyesore of the Month by James Howard Kunstler is a cool subsite that I found linked on Sprol.com
"With Sprol, now you can see the sprawl. We'll take you to the best of the worst places in the world via satellite imagery. Seeing the impact of people from space gives us an important perspective on many issues facing us today." Bird's eye view of weird masses, like acres of shipping containers, nuke plant on a beach, Vegas suburbs pushing into the desert, toxic chemical plants with bare patches where nothing will grow, fun for the whole family!
