Speaking of 400 miles from here.
Anyone seen "Bunker Town" in Savanna, IL?
Old ammunition bunkers that are now as we type, getting raised flooring,
and a couple gensets per bunker, I think there is 70+ in all.
I went for a tour there a few weeks ago, very cool place and could see
fiber being trenched in on the highway on my way there.
Its not a lease by the U place but worth mentioning due to the "cool"
factor. I got pics, ask if you want to see.

I like the class idea. Maybe cover some BGP4 with Zebra, Cisco, and Pizza?
