Pounding your fists, and pulling your hair because you can't locate your porch or your neighborhood deli on Google Street View? It's all about being patient. The feature that allows a walking view of a street debuted Thursday in the Tampa Bay area. The images aren't real-time, but they give a good feel of a neighborhood or landmark. Sorry, if you can't find your home. Google spokeswoman, Elaine Filadelfo, said the company concentrated on key downtown and suburban areas. "There's no specific plans to add to that now," she said. "But it's definitely something we hope to do in the future."
