| Ok people, this is driving me nutty- there is a gunmetal grey building off of Columbia Pike and Carlin Springs road, it has a gated entrance with guard booths and big walls/fences around it. There is no sign that says what it is, and I am super curious. Anybody know what it is, or if you tell me will you have to kill me? |

| There's a website called "WikiMaps" or "WikiMapia" or something like that, and it's a pretty good tool for identifying buildings like that. |

| Not the same kind of thing but I've always wondered who built and owns the incredibly ostentatious Casa De Amor on River Rd. near Potomac Village-drug money, sports star, diplomats???? Anybody know? |

| The building is not identified on Wikimapia or Google Maps. I wish someone had the answer to this question because it's always bugged me! |

| I've googled it about eleventy billion times-nothing except a brief mention with no info in a WaPo gossip column. Don't know the exact address. I just thought maybe a nearby neighbor who checks this site might wish to tattle-the home is obviously built to be talked about. |

I used to work in the building back in the 90's and it wasn't so heavily guarded back then 
It used to have a Hot Shoppes like Cafeteria in the bottom of the building and it was open to the public. At the time, it was various Dept of the Army offices. I worked for one of them in college. |
