Google Flyovers

OK folks, you gave me an idea. I first learned about flying a route from NAM and here's another fun idea, let's share some favorite flyovers with our fellow MINIacs. Here's an example: Open Google Earth and get the directions for the following route here in Atlanta, GA:

Starting point:
185 Mt. Paran Rd, NE, Atlanta, GA 30342

End point:
2055 Mt. Paran Rd, NW, Atlanta, GA 30327

Then click the play button and see one of my favorite local roads to get a quick Dragonesque fix when there's no traffic.

And one more for those folks in Cumming, GA. You can't really do a decent flyover in Google Earth on it but the next time you get a chance, take a wild ride on Greenwood Acres Drive. The local kids call it "The Rollercoaster Road". Caveat: it IS a residential street, so you musn't go crazy or you might hit someone. Now share with us some of your favorites too!
