Google Earth and Google Satellite have updated their satellite photos of Ajijic, where I live. It shows my house, and the new (2-year-old) house below me, and an even newer house to the East of me.

So I moved the view to downtown to look around... and there are areas that look like they might have looked 70 years ago. The largest, most impressive structure in town, the church and it's 80-foot tower, are gone, replaced by a near-empty lot. The downtown plaza shows only the gazebo surrounded by trees instead of all the buildings surrounding it.

That church and plaza have been in place for longer than there have even been satellites.

How can this be?
