Go to maps.google.com.
Enter your address (only U.S. addresses so far, from what I can tell)
When the map comes up, click the "Street View" link that displays underneath the small photo. (If there's no photo or link, they must not have gotten your area yet - try a different address in a different part of town or the country).
It brings up a 360 degree street-level photographic view of the location. And you can click the white arrows to move forward and back along the streets. Like in a VR game, but of the real world!

It might be several cameras, pointing in different directions, all taking a photo at once, or maybe a single camera rotating, or a camera with a special multi-directional lens...
Oh, by the way, do you remember what approximate date that was for your address? I am trying to figure out around when the photos of my house were taken... not sure if it was this year, or last, or maybe even before.
