There was also a tree in the planting area between the bay and station house. The bushes saved my butt many times while cutting grass. Inside, it's made up of two concrete domes. One has a skylight at the top, the other has a vent system for the bay. The back entrance is by a tunnel. It was a neat idea, but as a living quarters, it actually was awful. Think about living in a leaky basement. Wolferz, I'm sure you've driven by it a few times.

More than a few I suspect. I may have even rolled trucks out of there. By accident of course. Nursing home maintenance guys aren't overly intelligent and fire alarm dialers are unforgiving.
