Bad Places to Live

You couldn’t pay me to live in these apartments.

Why not?

UPDATE: I’m going to stick this at the top for a while.  C’mon you Google Earth freaks!  Here’s a hint… you have to know something about my interests to get this one, which means that Wendy and Jed probably had it yesterday.

UPDATE: Jed got it.

This is where Adolph Hitler committed suicide in his Fuhrerbunker, which was located under the garden of the Reich Chancellery.

Here’s a before and after picture with the Fuhrerbunker in red.

  7. Owen, I think it’s really obscure.  I think they will need a hint.  At least a continent.

  8. Wherever it is, they drive on the right side of the road.

  9. OK, OK… another little hint.  It’s not in the Western Hemisphere.

  10. I’m guessing it has something to do with the shape of the complex (not condition, the footprint).

  11. Nope.  It has to do with its location.

    Next…

  14. It’s truly one of the travesties of history.  The bunker was intact until the late 80’s.  Then they demolished it to put in that apartment building.  It’s a shame to destroy such a piece of history.

  15. Sign outside the building:

    “If you’re a megalomaniac bent on world domination and proliferation of the superior race, you’d be home by now.”
