Google Earth: Invaluable

In the Family Guy episode "Fish Out of Water", Peter buys a boat and becomes a fisherman. Rival fisherman Hennessey tells him that "the best fishing is at latitude 42, longitude 71". Peter immediately proceeds to the coordinates, which happens to be the location of a bar mitzvah where he plows directly into Mordecai the Yiddish Clown.

42.00 N, 71.00 W corresponds to a house south of Brockton, Massachusetts. It is several miles inland and the closest body of water is the town reservoir.

I'd be curious to know who lives there.
