The Alamo, the Spanish mission that served as the site of a key battle during the War for Texan Independence in 1836, stands right in the heart of San Antonio.
This massive structure was supposed to be used as the world’s most energetic particle accelerator. Workers began construction on the site in the early 1990s, but had to stop because Congress cut off funding for the project. It was originally supposed to cost a few billion, but later engineers figured that they would need around $11 billion. Although it was abandoned, you can still venture into the 14 miles of tunnels underground if you can find the adjoining buildings. Welp, this yet again proves that everything’s definitely bigger in Texas.
Supposedly built by a man who used to build storage tanks for oil companies, the house is now deserted aside from a man sometimes seen making improvements to the house, only to disappear for months again. The house has been there over 50 years and withstood the mighty Hurricane Ike, so at least it’s structurally sound. Not much else is known about it, but if you’re ever looking for something to do in Galveston, you’ll find this weird attraction on Miramar Drive.
