Very secure, strange building in GA

Opps, missed one of the above posts that it was a cable company. Thats a lot of security for a cable company.

greatlakes, - that is the building I was speaking of. I'm also not worried about someone looking for me. My employer is not on any of these mapping sites. Thanks for the concern though. That, and I haven't given anyone a reason to. I was spouting locations just to give my perspective on the area, and describe the location.

As some have (mistakenly) alluded to here, this building is not just merely a cable company. Rather, it is a secure data storage center RUN by a cable company.

True, but it is normal for the government to hire private companies for many types of work if needed. I do think that if it was a gov't issue, they would use their own storage though. Either that, or Cox is recording all info that flows through their broadband connections. Probably just data storage and networking systems.

Question-did the white trucks you saw entering have any sort of signage on them?

Look at the things people bring here, from those weird letters, to that business card math problem, the C2C drone, the list goes on and on. We are a bright group of people who deny ignorance every day.

Just my 2 cents!

Or just prove how paranoid people can get.If you think it govt run chances are it ain`t.They are the proffesionals if they want to keep a place secret you won`t notice.

Armed guards, razor wire,keypad entry only indicative of how bad society has got, that we need such things to keep out criminals.Not to protect Secrets.Secrets can be hidden in a building with windows, no guards or razor wire.Just a simple box called a Safe.Banks use them all the time.

could you give us some more info like what the guards are carring, how big the trucks are and how often they arrive?

Whith mor info we may be able to figure it out.

P.S. where is the hole I cant find it in gm or live search.

ops just saw the other 2 pages.

suckes that it's just a Cox thing. Would have be cool if it was like a Govnment genetics research facility were they were mixing human and animal guenes and making super soilgers!

am i ranting?

Nope, just plain white box trucks. They looked like flat-nosed rental trucks. About a 19' - 20' container I would say.

As for what the guard had? Who knows. I saw a car sitting outsude the location with a security officer in the car. Probably just to call the police if anyone tried to gain access. That was the first time I noticed the building. The last two times I checked it out, there was no guard, car, or signs of people at all. Like someone else pointed out, no employee parking either.

Things have changed in the post 911 world. After 911, the energy company I worked was imformed by insurance carriers, etc that having a data center in a large office building (70+ stories) was too large a risk. Data had to be off site. The company contracted with a secure data center to supply servers, etc and those were connected back to the office space over large bandwidth lines. It also provided a backup site for operations in a disaster. We had desktops there also.

The center was guarded and had biometric controls. I had clearance to go to the center for IT support issues. I am sure it was by no means to most secure type of center that has been built.

There are most likely 100s of similar sites all over the country with varing degrees of secuity. These data centers are another money maker for businesses. I'll bet insurance companies manage to make money off forcing companies to use them, if they don't actually own some of them.

Venom, you sound very paranoid. " Relax, don't do it, when you want to go it."
Your building has all the earmarkings of a commercial data stoarge facility. We have them all over our town. Thanks for the ingtriguing post.

you sound very paranoid

Not quite, at least not about this. Just wanted to see what others thought of this. Everyone has their own ideas, right?

And by knowing the type of guns the guards carry and types of trucks you think you can google direct to uncovering a major national secret

Oh dear, I love the net for finding out where to buy goods but uncovering National Security Secrets I think people should get a rapid check with reality.

My bad...

I guess no one likes my idea of using CIA tactics right back at the Government to force disclosure...

What can we really accomplish on a site like this? Everything we discuss/debate is hersay, or third-party knowledge.

No member here has EVER posted true, non "FOIA" documents that would litteraly put them in federal prison.

If you want concrete proof, you have to dig.

If you want to dig, you have to get your hands dirty.

Im sorry, I get tired of all the childish "speculation" based on second hand info.

I will truly be impressed when someone credible with "nothing to loose" actually leaks verifiable topsecret/classified docs to the public via an off-shore webhost.

If a "whois" is done on the server it might show "Estonia" or somthing. It'd be more difficult for the feds to gain access via a sopena (sp?) on a foreign web company. Lots of technicalities.

Oh yes, I have no doubt that the NSA could "hack" and "find out" who the user account is...

That's why you find/create an entire clean identity.

If you find a chum willing to to this for the cause in another country (all preliminary contact done w/encrypted email) -- they could always claim that their account was "hacked" ... hell, even fake a "hack" onto that dude's legit site w/his permission to post this stuff.

There ARE ways to get the info to the people.

No one has the imagination, tenacity, or guts to do it. Only people about to die like Corso are speaking out. They live in fear. Live in exille ala Grizzly Adams and fear not.

This site only exists due to large public interest in the states.This is just a commercial venture, sure Skeptic,Simon etc etc constantly defend it, that they have interests in the subjects here.That doesn`t mean there telling the truth though.I believe that Simon does have some interest in the subjects here, but I think money is the driving force behind the site more than uncovering Above Top Secrets.

Have you seen who beats the site in the Big Boards league.Check out the Spanish language site for Sex,bondage etc etc info and disscussion.They beat this site.

No person with Secrets gonna post on here.There are main stream media groups with much larger viewing public who have an interest in releasing info.The Washington post constantly trying to free info.

Im sorry, I get tired of all the childish "speculation" based on second hand info.

If you but a ban on here for under 18yrs this site would become very baron.

The NSA/MI6 etc etc etc would pull the plug here before you could finish reading it.

Would you risk you life for it.People in the no are employed because there the type of personality that doesn`t feel the need to tell everybody whats going on, that's why agencies vet so well.Also being on the inside they are aware of the chances of getting info out and the security in place to prevent it.The people on the net that do "whistle blow" arn`t really saying anything,but are earning money.

Look at David Shaller ex MI5 whistle guy hasn`t said jack.Most people leaving do write books but again use there position as a commercial advantage.Hey I`m ex spy with a book full of "nothing really" ATS is in the same category.Looks good but NADA.

That's why you find/create an entire clean identity.

It`s easier to write a book and keep your mouth shut.

No one has the imagination, tenacity, or guts to do it. Only people about to die like Corso are speaking out. They live in fear. Live in exile Ala Grizzly Adams and fear not.

Could also be because the Secrets we seek here don`t really excist, just manufactured by site such as this, books and the media in programmes such as the X-files,the Unexplained and Hollywood.

not sure if you mistyped or not but it is 10000 not 1000
what kind of trucks? I think I know what it is
why would a computer center receive drive in deliveries
the original poster mentioned something about a hole
behind the facility

First off, hello neighbor.

Second off, I think you're looking at the Herman Miller warehouse, a furniture retailer distribution center that the company owns.

I have access to commercial real estate databases, and that's what comes up as a massive white warehouse along Mansell Road in the 1000 area.

Dude
don't you know
pig and elephant dna just don't match.

It would be pretty cool if this site let us make a private board dedicated to gathering data on buildings like these.

people with nothing to lose are not entrusted with secrets.
people who are entrusted with secrets are trusted for a reason
because if they break that trust they have something to lose.

Cox Communications bought this building, whihc is operated as a secure computer data center facility. A computer data center brings redundant electricity and cooling systems to operate thousands of computer servers. While the seller was technically the local county economic development department, it was effectively a former MCI computer data center that was offered for sale in the wake of MCI's bankruptcy prior to Verizon's purchase of the remnants of MCI.

**EDIT**
Darn, should have read the rest of the posts....was fun while it lasted though. Ignore the speil below unless the story interests you about L3.


my personal opinion is a reaserch center of some kind? Back when the SR-71 was being devloped, a company called Links (Now L-3 Communications), was working on it, I think they were devloping the simulator for it, anyways, the main headquarters for their devlopement department was the back rooms of a busy supermarket! This was near Beale AFB. No kidding, verifiable if you do the reasearch. Really though, seems like all that hightened security and razor wire would just highten suspicions. If the vans were marked w/ a company logo and there was no "visiable" security would you have been suspicious at all? Probably not! Like somebody else said, "the best place to hide is in plain sight"
