Believe it or not, I've been meaning to take this picture for years. I've just never had my camera handy at night when I've driven past it. But a few weeks ago, on a dex night, I was puttering around at 3 am and finally got my picture. There's just something about the sharp lines and bright colors that I like about this.
Paid placement?-)
And the prison like aura...
There's not much like massive storage complexes that screams, "stuck in the capitalist rut."
Never fear, just keep running the rat race of capitalism in order to make money to pay money to store things that are never used. On that note: I wonder how many billions of dollars a year are spent in America to store things for which people are making monthly payments? Me thinks many.
We've got one just down the street a mile or so, but it has green doors.

Dear heaven!
I've never been to Albuquerque but I absolutely feel that if I went there the characters from Breaking Bad and Better Call Saul are exactly the people I'd meet.
Helvetica uber alles
Not Helvetica--the "t" doesn't have a tail. It looks like Avant Garde Gothic Bold: https://www.myfonts.com/fonts/linotype/itc-avant-garde-gothic-inactive/bold/
that really is a fun photo, but they could really do better in terms of architecture.
and how about some charts on how much useless crap americans store?
It really begs the question what could be in those things.
