InfoBunker Collocation Facility, Near Des Moines, Iowa: Built as a U.S. Air Force bunker that could survive a nuclear attack, this underground facility's only outward sign is the communications tower left over from its military use, a parking lot and a few outbuildings, as shown in this photo by blogger Brian Tiemann, who took this picture during his visit there.
