I think the term "golden triangle" applies to areas of potential growth, as the above poster stated.
Golden triangle, pentagon and pentagram [edit] Golden triangle Main article: Golden triangle (mathematics) Golden triangle The golden triangle can be characterised as an isosceles triangle ABC with the property that bisecting the angle C produces a new triangle CXB which is a similar triangle to the original. If angle BCX = α, then XCA = α because of the bisection, and CAB = α because of the similar triangles; ABC = 2α from the original isosceles symmetry, and BXC = 2α by similarity. The angles in a triangle add up to 180°, so 5α = 180, giving α = 36°. So the angles of the golden triangle are thus 36°-72°-72°. The angles of the remaining obtuse isosceles triangle AXC (sometimes called the golden gnomon) are 36°-36°-108°. Suppose XB has length 1, and we call BC length φ. Because of the isosceles triangles BC=XC and XC=XA, so these are also length φ. Length AC = AB, therefore equals φ+1. But triangle ABC is similar to triangle CXB, so AC/BC = BC/BX, and so AC also equals φ2. Thus φ2 = φ+1, confirming that φ is indeed the golden ratio. [edit] Pentagram For more details on this topic, see Pentagram. A pentagram colored to distinguish its line segments of different lengths. The four lengths are in golden ratio to one another. The golden ratio plays an important role in regular pentagons and pentagrams. Each intersection of edges sections other edges in the golden ratio.

All of the sudden the music changed to something of a very low vibration, dark is how I would describe it. It sounded like very low frequencies being played underwater. It actually sounded demonic. I attempted to change the station because i was getting freaked out. It over rode all the stations, we weren't able to hear anything but this slow, drawn out sound which wasn't words, but instead was like some kind of code maybe. I wish I could describe the sound, it was a deep sound that seemed to originate from somewhere else.

Fort Leonard Wood is interesting as well:

popularity is expected to grow with the future addition of Chemical and Military Police exhibits.

Description: Commerce Tower is a 32-story Skyscraper located in Downtown Kansas City, Missouri, USA. Constructed in 1965, it is the ninth tallest habitable structure in the Kansas City Metropolitan Area, and, since the completion of the City Hall, it was the first locally designed Skyscraper in Kansas City. The facade is contructed of pre-cast stone and glass, creating a unique look, especially for its time. Located at the intersection of 9th Street and Main St, at 909 Main, the original address was 911 Main Street, however, after the events of September 11th, 2001 the address was changed.

With your military experience, you should realize that people who don't have proper clearances, will NOT know about these things. Everything is need to know.
Everything.

The "SmartPort"'s corporate offices are located within the Commerce Tower at 911 Main St.
The SmartPort, Mexican sovereign territory, is actually located off the Missouri River near I-435.

The founder/creator of Google Maps grew up in Lawrence, KS and graduated from the University of Kansas--located roughly 40 miles west of Kansas City. He admits to purposely setting the "central" world Google map to always point to Lawrence, KS. Not sure how/why Missouri happens to be fully mapped though.
This part of the country is very interesting, considering the extensive underground tunnels and facilities.
Kansas City, University of Kansas, State of Missouri etc. store many of their paperworks, possessions, and other things in many underground storage facilities in/around the Kansas City area. I toured one of the sites in Parkville, MO and was amazed people actually want to work there. You can feel drilling/explosions regularly as these companies continue to expand the underground.
Kansas City, as mentioned in an earlier post, is also home to the "SmartPort," which is sovereign Mexican territory used for shipping. Many plans also indicate Kansas City to be a part of the Tex-Mex Superhighway to be a larger hub.
Kansas and Missouri were also quite strategic locations for the underground nuclear warhead missle launch sites during the Cold War. The inactive and unmanned missle silo launch sites still exist today.
This kinda repeats much of what has already been posted, but I wanted to throw in my limited knowledge as well.
