Now that most of the Atlas missile sites have been sold, how about a 1400 acre salt 
mine located 1200 feet under the city of Detroit?

It's probably a bit easier to get high quality bandwidth to Detroit than Roswell, NM.  
Also has the advantage of being across the river from Windsor ON for diverse 
connections to Shaw Bigpipe, Telus, Bell, GT/360, etc.

Or 1,180,000 sq ft of underground warehouse located between Indianapolis and 
Louisville:

On another note, some people affiliated with the SeattleWireless community wireless 
MAN have purchased one of those former AT&T microwave relay sites from American Tower. 
 Mt. Baldi was formerly part of a microwave relay from downtown seattle, across the 
Cascade mountain range to cities such as Yakima and Spokane.  Anyone interested in 
colocating at 4,000 foot altitude on top of a mountain?  I believe access is by 
snowmobile from late November to mid March.  :)
