I came across Bing Maps with Silverlight and I’m in love. It’s much better than the classic version! Well, when I found out about this, the first thing that popped in my head was “Let’s see if I can finally see that massive home in Bell Acres, PA!!!”. Jackpot! Feast your eyes on this insanely gargantuan mansion located on Beech Ridge Drive in Bell Acres, PA. The “home” is surrounded by million dollar homes, but makes them look like puny shacks. I’m desperately praying that this home goes on the market in the near future so that I can feast my eyes upon the interior! =)
