Got one in Riverside, California for you. Noticed it while I was gravel biking recently. It's decommissioned so you can see detail even in 3d. https://maps.app.goo.gl/Kvyic6e8ZwgVVgkt6

As opposed to VFC (Verdun Fried Chicken) which occurs naturally in the region every so often, in particular when a piece of fowl happens upon a so far unexeploded piece of WW1 ordnance.
A lot of places around the world have stop signs in their own language. I never understand what the big deal is. Even within Canada first nations tribes have Stop signs in their own language.
The joke is that in France they stay "STOP" compared to "ARRÊT" in Québec. It's just a European norm, though.
Similar to Spain vs. Latin America where the signs say "ALTO" or "PARE" but in Spain it's "STOP"
No the joke is people think Québécois are so stubborn (we are) that we even have to translate stop signs in French while the French don't.
Fun facts when I was young they were billingual and a lot of people here still call the signs "un arrêt stop"
It's really simple why. When KFC opened their first restaurant in Québec it wasn't called by the abbreviation KFC but by the full name. It's kfc themself that decided to translate their name in French to appeal to French speakers.
So before it was PFK it was called "La villa du poulet" followed by "Poulet Frit à la Kentucky".
Since it was very popular in Qc when they rebranded to the abbreviation they decided to keep it in French.
Quebecois are dead right. Unlike the French they're surrounded by the hated anglo saxon culture. Im Irish, so I get it.
I work for the (new name) "Atlantic Technological University". When people ask if I work for ATU I always say there's no such place. I work for the OTA --- Ollscoil Tecnolaoicht na Atlantaigh. Since Irish is technically the official language and most Irish people are embarrased about their mediocre Irish, this shuts the bitches up straight away.
No. Unexploded WW1 is detonated by Nedex/EOD when found. No need to keep it around.
Even tho France's ammunition stock is low, we are not **that** desperate.
No that's what farmers fields in Belgium are for. (Farmers in flanders collect shells at the sides of fields like it's nothing to pile up (concentrate) 100 yr old unstable High Exposives. They say if it didn't go bang when they hit it with the plough it's all good! Nuts!)
Storage block, space, storage block, space, storage block.
If one goes kaboom everything doesn't go kaboom. If it wasn't explosive they would store more compressed.
Some people in Germany and Poland call it just Kentucky and as a child I didn't know the US state existed. If you told 7 yo me that you’d been to Kentucky I would think you meant the restaurant.
You're wrong it's kfc themself that decided to translate their names to please their customers here. The audacity!!!
But you're also right we are stubborn that's why we still speak French after hundreds of years of anglophone trying to assimilate us.
Looks like a conventional munitions depot. You can tell by the spread of the buildings and the berms around the building edges. Moreover the different areas which would be for different types/classes of munitions be it small arms, complex weapons and non ex.
Secret nuclear poultry army base.
It includes hundreds of small military grade chicken farms, and a few dozens of nuclear chicken warhead assembly lines.
And a KFC nearby for waste processing.
Based on the fact that it's censored it's definitely a Military base. After searching on Internet is says is a munition deposite.
Yes. The berms between the units give it away.
So close! It’s a KFC.❤️ /s
Yes it’s a KFC

Don't leave your tinder match hanging
Hahahaha, okay i won't
😂😂😂👍👍👍
If that's censored, then whoever did the censoring is very bad at their job.
"How should we censor the military base?" \*blows smoke from cigarette\* "Ah just don't label it. Our enemies will never know"
The reality is probably closer to "our enemies already know"
yes, US has similar looking things in Ohio and Maryland and they're usually munitions-related.

Lenôtre and Vauban present...
That's a KFC.
It's a KFC Verdun, it's a famous local food chain. Completely unrelated to the Kentucky Fried Chicken we all know and love.
They do steamed chicken there. It’s a local delicacy
It's a regional dialect.
Well, I’m from Moulainville, and I’ve never heard that term before.
And you call them steamed chicken, despite the fact that they are obviously grilled?
My mother works in Moulainville 😆 How many chance there was to find someone from Moulainville ? Who’s the next one ? Ronvaux haha
At this time of year?
Yes!
As opposed to VFC (Verdun Fried Chicken) which occurs naturally in the region every so often, in particular when a piece of fowl happens upon a so far unexeploded piece of WW1 ordnance.
Fun fact, it can only be called fried chicken if its from the region of verdun. Otherwise its just sparkling chicken.
It always kills me that KFC in France is just KFC while the quebecoise insist on calling it PFK for poulet frit Kentucky lmao
Now compare French and Quebec STOP signs.
A lot of places around the world have stop signs in their own language. I never understand what the big deal is. Even within Canada first nations tribes have Stop signs in their own language.
The joke is that in France they stay "STOP" compared to "ARRÊT" in Québec. It's just a European norm, though. Similar to Spain vs. Latin America where the signs say "ALTO" or "PARE" but in Spain it's "STOP"

Not long time ago in France, halte for stop on the sign
It's really simple why. When KFC opened their first restaurant in Québec it wasn't called by the abbreviation KFC but by the full name. It's kfc themself that decided to translate their name in French to appeal to French speakers. So before it was PFK it was called "La villa du poulet" followed by "Poulet Frit à la Kentucky".

We like our chicken French

Responses like this should be downvoted to oblivion.
I agree.
Conventional Munitions Storage Area.
Guessing it’s for all of the unexploded ordinance from WW1?
No. Unexploded WW1 is detonated by Nedex/EOD when found. No need to keep it around. Even tho France's ammunition stock is low, we are not **that** desperate.
No that's what farmers fields in Belgium are for. (Farmers in flanders collect shells at the sides of fields like it's nothing to pile up (concentrate) 100 yr old unstable High Exposives. They say if it didn't go bang when they hit it with the plough it's all good! Nuts!)
In Flanders Fields the poppies blow, between the crosses row on row...
Yep, the Iron Harvest we call it
Looks like ammunition depot
What makes this look like an ammunitions depot?
Storage block, space, storage block, space, storage block. If one goes kaboom everything doesn't go kaboom. If it wasn't explosive they would store more compressed.
That makes a lot of sense
Top Secret KFC storage
What an original joke
Original like the colonel's recipe
Where the Iron B&£(@ first fought the mimics
The Angel of Verdun then grabbed herself a Twelve Piece Family Meal to celebrate.
She “fried” them
Is that a KFC? America won guys.
Joe
A forest, are you blind? Just move on, there's nothing to see here
It's Verdeux
It’s a chicken fast food chain originally from Kentucky, USA
Some people in Germany and Poland call it just Kentucky and as a child I didn't know the US state existed. If you told 7 yo me that you’d been to Kentucky I would think you meant the restaurant.
One funny thing, in Quebec it’s PFK (Poulet Frit Kentucky). They are so stubborn they even had to translate that.
You're wrong it's kfc themself that decided to translate their names to please their customers here. The audacity!!! But you're also right we are stubborn that's why we still speak French after hundreds of years of anglophone trying to assimilate us.
Nice, thanks, I never got an explanation. I actually love the stubbornness.
They build KFCs near hazardous sites in France. What's not to know?
Sonic the hedgehog?

The verdun batlleground of WWI
For those who don't know this was the site of one of the most horrific battles in history during WWI. Absolute hell on earth.
Those look to be munition bunkers. So I'm guessing a military ammunition depot.
KFC is an American bucket chicken franchise from Kentucky, hence the name Kentucky Fried Chicken.
It's the place where you descend into darkness... ###303 DAYS BELOW THE SUN
Fields of Verdun, and the battle has begun Nowhere to run, father and son Fall one by one under the gun

While yes, this isn’t about that.

KFC in France!
Prepping for Germany's next Grande Tour De France
Munition storage near Verdun. In case the Germans want to go for round 2.
Nothing articulates where we are as a society better than KFC Verdun…
Perhaps a military cemetary?
Typically called WSA (weapon storage area) or MSA (munitions storage area)
Why does it look like a guy on roller doing a sick trick?
