What land mark do you live by?

[warwgn]

As Jackpile Mine opened in 1953, 24 million tons of ore were mined over a 30 year period. This was a 24-hour-a-day, 365-days-a-year operation for 30 years until it shut down on March 31, 1982. . . . Right now, Jackpile Mine lies like a sore in the middle of the New Mexico desert. And within 1,000 feet from the world's largest open pit uranium mine lies the village of Paguate.

We moved from Colorado because we lived 3 miles from Rocky Flats; largest plutonium storage facility in the nation...may explain some "issues" I'm having

Now, I guess the landmarks near me in VA are too numerous to list...I'm so close to Yorktown's battle fields, Langley, Norfolk Navel Base, etc...

Wait, there is a statue of Pocahontas within walking distance of where I sit now...that count?

Does the San Francisco Bay count as a landmark?

I ask because it's a WATERmark not a LANDmark heheheheh


edit: can't be outdone

Sears Point Raceway (Infineon)

I live by the Wal-Mart Home Office.  It looks like a dungeon above ground, no windows or anything.

Awesome post, warwgn!  About 4 blocks (1,760 feet) from the Liberty Bell and Independence Hall. So, if that doesn't count, less than half a block away is the Church where they filmed the "Sixth Sense," with Bruce Willis.
