Buildings that don’t look like what they really are.

[Flint1979]

Most modern schools resemble prison complexes to me.  The giant fence lines are what sells it to my eye.

The new High School they built in Saginaw looks like a jail to me. I wasn't sure if there was a recent enough GSV but here it is: https://www.google.com/maps/@43.4337124,-83.9414575,3a,15.9y,240.97h,92.52t/data=!3m7!1e1!3m5!1s3-bi7Wy6f65xdoKW4Y7aUw!2e0!6shttps:%2F%2Fstreetviewpixels-pa.googleapis.com%2Fv1%2Fthumbnail%3Fcb_client%3Dmaps_sv.tactile%26w%3D900%26h%3D600%26pitch%3D-2.515481230742651%26panoid%3D3-bi7Wy6f65xdoKW4Y7aUw%26yaw%3D240.97104115413123!7i16384!8i8192?entry=ttu&g_ep=EgoyMDI0MTIwNC4wIKXMDSoASAFQAw%3D%3D

I would have assumed a nanotech facility or chip factory.

To compare here's the Saginaw County Jail which is only a few years old actually. https://www.google.com/maps/@43.4169931,-83.9689446,3a,15.5y,41.71h,94.26t/data=!3m7!1e1!3m5!1sCKe0lEN0044mlDsLtGaGYg!2e0!6shttps:%2F%2Fstreetviewpixels-pa.googleapis.com%2Fv1%2Fthumbnail%3Fcb_client%3Dmaps_sv.tactile%26w%3D900%26h%3D600%26pitch%3D-4.256127279598402%26panoid%3DCKe0lEN0044mlDsLtGaGYg%26yaw%3D41.71316475665003!7i16384!8i8192?entry=ttu&g_ep=EgoyMDI0MTIwNC4wIKXMDSoASAFQAw%3D%3D

Heh.  Drove past the Nanotech place in Albany recently and saw whatever it is they're doing to a building that was built not very many years ago.  Have to wonder what's really going on with that institution.
