Another Google Maps Treasure

Postby Lord_Mizaru » July 20th, 2005, 6:12 pm

Yes folks, this time our picture comes from San Diego... the bay area to be exact. There is a building here that's not quite the shape it ought to be... and just to make it even better it's owned by the US Government. Can you spot the one I'm talking about by any chance?

Ja wohl, Herr Obersturmbannführer! Ich siehe das Gebäude!

(That's a sufficient ID, I think. :wink: )

What's the deal with the building? Did the USGov build it...or did it seize the building from one of Chancellor Schröder's many ex-wives? :wink:

What purpose does it serve?

Just zoom out and switch to map view from satellite view. You'll find it's in a shaded area labeled 'United States Naval Amphibious Base'.
