Odd Places that Make Decent Locations in Game

Here a new on on me!

I'm running a Vampire 5th edition chronicle set in modern day San Francisco. The Malkavian primogen is very religious and I was hoping I could find an abandoned church for him to live in. And I did! Sort of. Thanks to the wonders of the internet I came across the Church of 8 Wheels which is a very large former Roman Catholic church which was converted in a roller rink.

The primogen is very old and religious but when I found this skating ring it changed how I envisioned the character. Instead of being a fire and brimstone type of preacher I made him kind of a hippie. He's nearly 1,000 years old but he was influenced by hippie Christianity in the 1960s and 70s. He's a holy rollerskating vampire.

Anyone have a real life location serving as an influence for their game? Any setting.

I've lived right around the corner from that church for 10 years—and still haven't gone roller skating there.

This was a very nice thread. Will have to go trough it for some good places for adventures in The Troubleshooters.

But in the meantime:

The Ark of Bukhara in Uzbekistan

Matsumoto Castle, Japan

Eltz Castle, Germany

Iron Mountain Iron Mine, in Michigan's Upper Peninsula.
How an underground city might be laid out.
And open to the public.
