Posted by Radio2600 Lots of conduit and two doors sounds like a old military demarc. Where the military phone and data lines connect to a civilian network like AT&T. There are two doors because one side of the interior would be the military maintained and the other would be civilian maintained. These are usually a good distance from the actual military installation. The reason being, that if the installation takes a direct hit, this critical point in the communications link to the outside world, would not be affected. |
Posted by A Through Z Explorations The question we should be asking is what's below that cleverly disguised "corn field"? I'm a conspiracy junkie. |

Posted by Dominus Haha, that's right by my house, I never noticed it much really, but I do wonder about those big circular odd-shaped buildings a little further down 132nd. |
Posted by Radio2600 In NY, there was a large park with several soccer fields that was owned by the DoD, but was not part of a military installation. That park had a chain link fence around it with signs that read "photography prohibited" about every 100 or so feet. Although there was nothing there to photgraph other than grass and a few soccer goals. One day in the early 1970's, a 10 foot high plywood fence went up (so you couldn't see into what was going on there) around some of that park and heavy construction went on there for 2 yeras. When the fence came down, nothing changed from what the park looked like when the fence went up. Over 40 years have passed since the plywood fence came down and still nothing stands in the area where the fence was, but the rest of the park has been built over. http://www.flashea...z=17.6&r=0&src=msl |
