Any weird buildings near where you live...or mystery? '_'

Theres one here, I have NO IDEA what it is for. Obviously it's government since theres lots of gv cars around the area,
but theres a building that has like high security to even get into the Parking Lot,
it's a white building, no windows whatsoever! and theres Satellites all around it...No, signs on the building or anything, it's just like a BIG WHITE BOX!

'_' I want to know what they do in there haha

LOL its the Men in Black!

The only thing which is kinda weird here is a building which is 20 or so stories high but the middle 5 floors 9 - 13 dont have any buttons on the elevator and the sign downstairs says theres nothing on the floors, yet if you go up the stairs the doors to all those floors are solid with one small tinted window and card swipe entries unlike the rest which have normal large windows... weird

Was sort of a joke ;p - It's an eye sore but awesome inside. They need to have some sort of decal on the roof though.

I love weird, old buildings. There's quite a few round here - I think there's a large hill-type thing with a sort of hollow inside that cavemen would have used as shelter. You can still go inside and sit in it - or so I've been told. Never been there, personally, though I'd love to go check it out.

There's also a magnificent building that's really, really close by called Hadlow Tower - it's an odd place. It's a kind of neo-Gothic/Romantic folly built by a guy called Walter Barton May at some point in the 1800s - no matter where you go, you can always kind of see it peeping over the horizon. There's a lot of speculation over why it was built, and popular folk legend says the guy that built it was simply compensating for something, which certainly goes some way to explaining why the tower itself looks like some kind of kaleidoscopic phallus A more widely-accepted story, though, is that May built it to lure back his wife after she split up with him, and he wanted to instill the feeling that he would always be there, watching, and she could never escape...

Quite recently (a few years back at least), Michael Keisser (the owner of the tower at the time) was unable to afford the costs of running the thing, and so, in desperation, in June 2007 he tried to auction the tower off on eBay and sell his own sperm. For something like, I dunno, £1 million per donation? There was a web page advertising it - I don't know if it's still around, but I'll definitely have to look for it. I wrote an essay on it for a paper once, it's such a weird story. As far as I know, the Kent/Tonbridge council stepped in and bought the tower off the guy, but that's the extent of my knowledge. My mother used to know somebody that knew Keisser, I think - makes a great story for parties!
