Wikimapia Game: Day 1

Okay, everyone who's a regular visitor to this blog has seen that I love to post satellite imagery, referenced to Wikimapia. Save for Wednesday of this week (at which point I'll be posting August's Stuff Fly Wants list), we're going to do something different. We're going to have a bit of a contest and/or survey, using Wikimapia. Today's question assumes that most or all readers will have seen the 1996 summer blockbuster Independence Day. Here are your instructions.

1) Go to Wikimapia.
2) Using Wikimapia, find the location that you would direct aliens to destroy, a la Independence Day.
3) Copy the link, and paste it into the comments. Include what it is, and why you'd want it destroyed.

The Fly's answer is Carson City, Nevada. I've lost many minutes and hours to my life to exceptional stupidity, but the exceptional stupidity of the way this city is laid out takes the cake, and the amount of time I lost there on several trips from Zoo Station to Hometown infuriated me moreso than anything else. If aliens came, they could destroy Carson City first, so that it could be completely rebuilt in some sort of acceptable form - traffic flow, people! Traffic flow!

Check in tomorrow for the next iteration of the survey, and have a great Monday.
