Since I can't guarantee having internet tomorrow night (we will probably have it, but who knows), here is a big hint:

It is in Alabama.

Montgomery... Gump town

 

[Barbara L]

Nope.

Madison... Where Progress Meets Preservation?

 

[Barbara L]

Not yet!

Note: This is not the nickname of the city. It is the nickname for this specific spot in the city.

Four Corners

if it's Four Corners, Andy, no lie, that's the first thing that came to my mind though I've actually never heard of it......and I haven't googled either.......how funny if you're right

 

[Barbara L]

Not Four Corners. It comes from the size of the 4 buildings at the time they were built (think weight).

The Heaviest Corner on Earth.

Well, I have to pack it all in (literally) for now. Check out time is in half an hour and I haven't even taken my shower or packed yet. Hopefully I will be on tonight. I will tell you that when you get this, you will be at least 99% sure you are right. If something happens and I do not come on after 48 hours, someone go ahead and post a picture and I will tell you what it is later. I'm sure I will be on tonight, but the internet at one place didn't work at all. I went nuts that night!

BTW - Wiki search stinks!

I searched "Alabama - four - buildings" and came up with garbage. I searched for "Heaviest Corner on Earth" and found the Wiki page. Alabama, four and buildings are listed in the first two sentences!!!!!!!!!!!

LOL Jeekinz, I didn't see that you snuck the answer in right before my last post went in! I came across it by accident (looked up "heaviest"): http://www.bhamwiki.com/wiki/index.php?title=Heaviest_Corner_on_Earth

Give us a good one!

I'll try.

Continuing with buildings, what building is this and what's weird about it?

 

[Andy M.]

It's not air conditioned

 

[Jeekinz]

It's not air conditioned

LOL - the weirdness is a little more extreme than that.

 

[Andy M.]

Are we talking about the first building or the other three behind it?

Are they apartments?

Is the weirdness in the construction materials?

 

[Jeekinz]

It's a series of buildings with one name.

Apartments? Yes.

Materials? No.

 

[Andy M.]

Is it the name that's weird?

Bridge apartments constructed over a highway in Manhattan

Bridge apartments constructed over a highway in Manhattan

That's it.

When they give traffic reports they say "Outbound traffic is slowing down under the apartments....."

I thought it would be a good one...BWTHDIK.
