Reply to TIL that in 1983, Purina's Chuck Wagon dog food was given a promotional video game for the Atari 2600 called "Chase the Chuck Wagon". It could only be received by proof of purchase labels and is considered the "Holy Grail" of Atari 2600 video game collecting. by ZootyCutie

I was going to say, this looks like it should be a location in a sci-fi movie. Maybe it was. Or maybe it just has "that look".

Reply to comment by dravik in TIL In 1930, to make way for a new building, the Indiana Bell Building, weighing 11,000 tons, was moved 16 meters and rotated 90°. The work took a month to finish and did not disrupt the building's essential services, nor its gas, water, and electricity supply. No one inside felt the building move. by LPercepts
Photo in linked page shows what appear to be large hoses. I'm guessing that's the plumbing. I don't know how they could do a cut on that without an interruption. Perhaps a quick cut over, over night, was considered acceptable, but I don't know.
Power can be run in flexible cables fairly easily, and even bridged while live if you're careful.
Gas I dunno. Presumably flexible lines of some kind, but that's not something I'm familiar with.

The thing that really impresses me is that they kept the telephone service providied from the building up. Thousands upon thousands of pairs of tiny wires -- one per customer telephone line -- all run into a building like that.

That's not what the comment was disputing.
