Name That Place!

Credit for the win to Steampunk.

St. Augustine, FL, the first permanent European settlement in the continental United States.


Bligs got the fort right, too.

Is this like the state fair -- can I trade in so many wins for n00dz of AB?

I defer to our resident Blue Max: Bligs, with one stipulation. It must be on the Eurasian continent.

[Bligityblah]

Alright, here we are. Two hints:

1. This place has been in the news a lot over the last year.
2. Look for what "isn't" there.

WAG

181st Transportation Battalion, Iraq?

I waste way too much time on this topic...

[Bligityblah]

No one correct so far. Look out for smoking holy lands.

Nuclear reactor complex near Bushehr, Iran.

a.k.a. future site of a USAF B-2 excavation project

[Bligityblah]

And AB in for the win.



Not pictured, a power distribution and evacuation network. So yeah...if they're making electricity its not going anywhere.

ya rly...I say warm up the bombers.



This Company was officially founded in 1947.

This one is kicking my ass. The trees and lack of AC units on the rooftops suggest a cooler climate.

[AngelBaby]

It is most definitely located in a temperate climate zone.


There is an enigmatic sculpture in the courtyard here...

[Bligityblah]

CIA headquarters!!!!!!


I should have know when you capitalized "Company".

[AngelBaby]

Bingo!

I knew that sculpture clue would give it away quickly...

[Bligityblah]

Home to a not so secret nuclear program...
