abandoned Prada store of the ten strange
things found in the desert this is the
oddest and the most random in the middle
of the desert in Texas is the Prada
store that is all lit up complete with
designer shoes and handbags this wasn't
a place to go shopping it was actually a
permanent art installation a group of
Scandinavian artists funded the project
because they wanted to see how the store
would hold up after being in the desert
for a long period of time after just a
few days the store was robbed of all the
products inside the artists rebuilt the
shop and they used security locks and
unbreakable windows after the store was
secured it was reloaded with shoes
handbags and accessories number two

through the desert in Arizona chances
are you'll come across giant concrete
arrows that measure over 70 feet in
length they appear throughout the
Southwest for years people have had
their own stories about where the arrows
came from some even believed that they
were created by aliens they were
actually built on purpose by the United
States Postal Service they were
installed all across the desert in 1911
to help airplanes find their way to
deliver mail and packages to the west
coast

Desert phone booth on the side of the

go to the phone booth and answer all
incoming calls while he was there he
received 500 phone calls one of them was
from the Pentagon the phone number to
