With the success of the GrogHeads Cafe Press store I think it is time to look to the future and invest in some real-estate.   ;D

QuoteA certain segment of the population likes to be prepared for the worst, and for many doomsday scenarios, decommissioned underground nuclear missile silos are the ultimate hideout.

Despite this, there are government-constructed nuke-proof bunkers, some of the strongest structures made by man, that have lingered on the market without selling, and their prices have been slashed.

And here is the eBay auction.  http://www.ebay.com/itm/19-Acre-ATLAS-F-ICBM-Missile-Silo-Base-Underground-Doomsday-Fortress-Bunker-/221079705532?pt=Residential&hash=item33796097bc

I am sure you guys could make a reasonable offer. :)  There are only 16 so far, most of which have been declined.  8)

"Since taking ownership, he has spent a lot of time visiting working on the demolition of structural features as well as pumping out more than 90 feet of water that amassed in the silo over the years. "

There is a flooded Atlas silo down in Texas converted into a scuba diving club
