When I get bored with working on my town, I like to map using satellite images.

There are a TON of towns that have nothing mapped in them at all, but have really obvious features from the air. This includes things like courthouses, schools, parks, sidewalks... I know it isn't for everybody, but you can usually find information for at least the public institutions on most city webpages.
