About

The 324 Front Street Barnum, Iowa Google Street View Flasher refers to a viral image taken on Google Maps Street View sometime in 2024, which depicts a woman flashing her breasts. The flasher, who is standing in a parking lot outside of a bar and grill, can be seen flashing the Google Street View car in broad daylight, which quickly attracted attention online after it was discovered in late June 2024. The original posts about it surfaced on Facebook and Twitter / X. Due to the nature of her action, the Street View image was quickly censored, with images of it uncensored still floating around social media.
