I wish there was a website where people can upload and view historic photos of roads and places on a map UI (lemmy.cafe)

Sometimes I go past an old looking building or see some traces of old signage on a store and wonder what they used to be, especially when those traces are hard to read or obscured.

Yep, when in street view you can look at old street views. It'll be cool in 20 years when the changes will be more apparent

On Google earth pro you can also look at older versions of the satellite maps, which is also very cool
