US Route 20 and Google Maps “Street View”

A view of Cleveland's Public Square from US 20 Google Maps Street View

It was recently announced that Google Maps has now made their “Street View” available in the Cleveland Ohio metropolitan area. What this means for US Route 20 fans is that one can now travel almost the entire length of US 20 in all of Cuyahoga County, Ohio, which includes downtown Cleveland. (Currently, US 20 (Euclid Avenue) in downtown Cleveland is undergoing a major reconstruction and facelift, which is obvious on many of the views.)

Google Maps Street View has been available for a while in other major US cities. Another city where US 20 fans may want to make the virtual trip is the city where US 20 begins, Boston, near Kenmore Square.

US 20 in Massachusetts: In The Beginning

Sign at US 20 Eastern Terminus (left)

US Route 20 begins its long journey westward in Boston Massachusetts in Kenmore Square. It joins up with Massachusetts Route 2, and parallels I-90.

What is Kenmore Square? It’s a busy, bustling convergence of three main roadways - Commonwealth Avenue, Beacon Street, and Brookline Avenue, mixed with a heavy dose of shops, restaurants, hotels, clubs, and educational institutions. Boston University is only a block away. Also very close by is Fenway Park, home of the Boston Red Sox. It is also part of the last leg of the annual Boston Marathon.

It sounds like a fitting place for the country’s longest road to start!
