Comment on Google maps 8bit quest mode. A setup for 4/1 perhaps?

A nice little detail for Pittsburghers: http://i.imgur.com/fQR4u.png

I wonder how many cities they made landmarks for?

Here's a tumblelog of easter eggs, open for submissions: http://gmaps8biteastereggs.tumblr.com/

Sky Tree (recently huge Tower built in Tokyo) here: http://maps.google.com/maps?q=Tokyo,+Japan&hl=en&ll=...

Japan is full of stuff, also check Osaka, Kyoto, Mt Fuji, Miyajima, etc

No buildings in Stockholm, but they appear to have marked their office with figures wearing propeller beanies: http://g.co/maps/hjpgu

San Francisco got a few little landmarks...

It looks like landmarks are a feature of big cities only - no love for the Basketball Hall of Fame or Springfield Armory.

Zoom in on London and you'll find a bunch of landmarks

Nothing for Baltimore, as far as I could find :(

I was saddened by that, too. No Wire reference at least? But hey, they didn't even give Niagara Falls special treatment.
