I didn't see this one posted yet (though I'm sure several others on here know of it). Sampsonia Way, a unique alley in Pittsburgh, has some colorful scenes, especially if you look back to 2008, when locals organized a 'parade' to celebrate the return of the google vehicle to their humble local. Granted, it's all staged, but there's some interesting things to see.

The parade, complete with confetti and a marching band, passes by the Mattress Factory:
Not sure what kind of garage start-up is going on here - love-ray laser device?:
Marathon Runners:
At this corner store, note the person dressed as a...ham (I had to zoom in closer to see):
Across the street, the fun continues, with a giant chicken / turkey. Hopefully sans-person inside:
Additionally. here are some of the decorated houses near the Mattress Factory:
The same site, in 2007:
