Russian mobster.

The sims in the older buildings at the bottom of the string, nearest the road, are actually C-130 sims, the rest are C-17.

No, I have to agree with Anon. Pulled over trucks. I think you're seeing a shaddow.

Doesn't say anything about it closing, but the latest Google pics show the runways closed.

Very cool.

Gone.

Very nice!

Flashbacks...

Really? When I clicky on the linky, I get a black screen with "This image is nolonger available".

You can see it before and after, though.

Gone.

Replaced by a bunch of houses. Wonder what it was? Track of some kind?

Gone.

Gone.

Gone.

Bad link? Not there anymore?

My sister had one of these. The thing was so big, it had rubber bumpers on the corners because you just couldn't see where they were. You couldn't put one of these things in a normal parking space today, takes two.

Bunch of chaves...

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bagdad,_Arizona

Bagdad is a copper mining community and census-designated place in Yavapai County, Arizona, United States, in the western part of the state. It is one of only two remaining company towns in Arizona. The copper mine owns all of the housing and commercial buildings in Bagdad.

Where did the thumbnail image come from?

Yes it is.

The complex *as a whole* and *including* the *former* Union Correctional Institution is now known as the Florida State Prison.

Guessing from the images of the body at Wikipedia, this is the exact location:

Now gone.

Not sure why this is tagged "Abandoned", the plant is still producing power.

Check out the Street View:

Located at the Dunkeswell Aerodrome, formerly RAF Dunkeswell. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dunkeswell_Aerodrome

From the WichitaBoeing plant.

To me it looks more residential than hotel, and the large resdiences are not much smaller.

And no runway within miles!

Nice!

The "More Info" link is not an official Web site.

Actual address: 6038 Long Street

Nice.

Is that an empty soda bottle in the bushes?

Google Street View actually lets you drive right up past the Keep Off sign and way back onto the property!

It's 0.1 miles from the FBI Headquarters. One of these, perhaps? It's called a MRAP – Mine Resistant Ambush Protected – vehicle, similar to those used by US forces in Iraq and Afganistan to shield troops against roadside bombs.

Hueys I understand, but how are Cobras in Iranian hands?

Note the size of the stadium facility. They take their football seriously at Angola...

The two houses in the Live thumbnail are the impact spot, and news pics show nothing left but part a the garage of the corner house.

The tomb is said to be located at the excavation half-way up (down) the side.

That's quite the angular house just up the hill...

There seem to be a number of these up and down the Snake.

I don't think they were allowed in...

Site of terrorist attack against Westerners on 26 November, 2008.

The say it's "art".

This facility is now closed.

Look at it in Map View: Railroad tracks show it was a storage complex, possibly munitions.

This was the former site of Radar Station L-82, also known as VHF 4K5 Half Moon Bay.

Yes, er, well. Couldn't think of a more appropriate one. VG doesn't have "Gang Hangout"...

An all new genre! Random street signs!

Very trashy indeed...

Wonder if it's done with giant marijuana plants?

Gone.

Looks like a giant cell phone.

That's what they SAY it is. But it's right accross the street from the NSA...

It could accommodate props.

Gone in new images.

The above is true, this stuff was destined for energy reactor fuel. Reports say it would have even been low grade (undesirable) for use in "dirty bombs".

Bites the dust: Tiger Stadium is no more...

55 tons (the story incorrectly says 550 tons) of yellocake where recently trucked to Baghdad from here where it was flown to Diego Garcia and then shipped to Canada.

Made famous as the "Soup Nazi" on Seinfeld.

On 24 February 1920 Adolf Hitler organized the first of many large publicity and propaganda events to be held at the Munich Hofbräuhaus. During this event he outlined a twenty-five point programme of ideas, which were to become the basis of the Nazi Party.

Here's a Web page with a lot of pictures including some inside shots...

Also seen in "The Game", many other films.

Also played a cocaine kingpin in Boogie Nights.

I'm quite sure that they *are* on some target list...

Is that confirmed?

Opps, sorry:

Wait wait wait here ... hold on? Where's the separate bins for composting and recycling? WE HAVE A PROBLEM HERE...

Very nice.

Doesn't for me.

No longer in Google Maps.

Yup, I though about that, and agree. I know what you mean by military plane... Doesn't matter anyway, I'm not really playing the hunt...

Pro VOLLEYBALL. Yes, well. VH1 or MYV?

Elsie Kipling, the daughter of Rudyard Kipling, purchased this house in a state of disrepair and renovated it. She is burried at near-by Saint Andrew's Church Cemetery.

The casino in the picture is the Beau Rivage, the nicest of the Biloxi casinos both before and after Katrina. Amazingly, it sustained a lot less damage than all the others except Boomtown, which is on the other side of the city. If you're into high stakes Baccarat in Biloxi, this is the place.

This is my happy happy joy joy 300th location...

On the other hand there is a real estate too-doo involving this Olga Kogan in Israel: http://www.haaretz.com/hasen/spages/969661.html

Maybe. But it doesn't look like the buildings in the photo. A plantation of some sort, perhaps.

Also seen in Ursula K. Le Guin's "The Lathe of Heaven".

http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0081036/

Not there anymore.

Buy one... http://www.equipmatching.com/used_equipment/15/182/63163.php

Lots of circular targets out in the desert around this place.

Nice...

It's actually still interesting. If you look at the BEV, you will notice that it's *NOT* a field of trees. Between each row of trees is paved and striped. So it's some type of parking lot lined with trees.

I don't think this Google image is the right house, it's *NOT* on Summerdale, it's on Courtland.

Parts of the movie Bulletproof with Damon Wylans and Adam Sadler where filmed at the Trona Airport.

China Lake is nearby, they design and test bombs there. Years ago, my dad (who is a mathematician) was drafted during Viet Nam, and was stationed at China Lake, designing missiles and bombs. As an intelligent man, he objected to the war and his part in it...
