I had a good laugh
Google slipped in an Easter Egg into the imagery for a street in Pittsburgh. It was clearly just as obvious as the images around their main campus near San Francisco that it was a setup. I'll start you on your way and you can find everything on your own if you like, or you can just open up the text and see everything I've found.
Here we are at the beginning. Just keep going east down this street. Some things are obvious, some are not.
The people who did this called it Street With a View. Their website includes credits and a list of scenes.
A 'making of' video about the project.
A video of the car passing, made from the fire escape.

- This is Bird Brain, who almost missed being in the pictures at all!
- Moving Day was a staged scene, but one that you could find happening 'naturally' in any Street View imagery.
- This person is either running away or eloping?
- They managed to get a marching band! I don't know which high school that is.
- A crowd and CONFETTI! The confetti is best viewed falling behind the car. It's also covered the top if you look straight up. Also looking straight up you can see the people dropping the confetti.
- Foil in love with a microwave! Note the hearts! I guess it's because foil makes sparks fly when it's in a microwave? :) Also note the two neat houses on the right. One is just very colorful and the other is covered in Chinese lettering, or an artistic approximation. I suspect those houses weren't just painted for the Street View event though. ALSO, if you keep rotating around, standing at the front of the SUV is someone in a red hooded jacket who also has hearts in her eyes.
- Mad Scientist test his LOVE RAY. This one really cracks me up. In addition to hitting his lab helpers with the red beam, he also hit two innocent bystanders. The bystanders have a beanbag chair in the shape of a footbal at their feet for some reason.
- A guitarist in a dark garage.
- A foot race. They're closer after the car has gone by, but I wanted a front shot.
- Someone dressed as Scout from To Kill a Mockingbird. The image before and after this one allow you to see the person's legs, but you can't read 'Ham' on the costume.
- Giant raw chicken. 'nuff said.
- Firemen rescue a cat. Again, it's another scene you could IMAGINE happening naturally somewhere in imagery.
- Two guys in foam weapon combat.
