Please note that pending board approval, Boing Boing's new secret headquarters shall be this "decommisioned" underground missile silo pending sale for $300k in Roswell, New Mexico where our space brothers have already established a thriving happy mutant community.
From the New York Times:
From a real estate perspective, it is a fixer-upper, to put it mildly, one that appeals to a small and idiosyncratic cut of potential buyers (one of whom has already signed a contract, placing it off the market for the moment). At the height of the Cold War, the site had been the home of an Atlas-F missile, an intercontinental ballistic weapon with a warhead over 100 times more powerful than the atomic bomb dropped on Nagasaki in World War II. The missile was taken out of service after just a few years, and left behind was a subterranean lair worthy of a Bond villain, burrowing 10 stories down and capable of withstanding a nuclear blast.
Over the years the site has become dilapidated, showing damage from the time it was left unattended and became a hangout for teenagers and a source for vandals scavenging for scrap.
