Stuff you see from the air

So, I zone out when flying. I will look out my window and wonder WTF stuff on the ground is. 99% of the time, it's obvious but the 1% of the time I don't know what it is. You would be amazed at some places I've driven in a car to answer my question (or maybe not).

For instance, there is ONE green strip maybe 100ft long by 10ft wide (I'm guessing) in Amund Reindahl Park. It's a bright green (almost algae color) compared to the brown grass around it. In google maps, it comes out as a black line oriented North-South:

My bet is it's some sort of water.

Also, I saw guys out on the Bridges Golf course!!! I might get a few rounds in soon =D The golf course is on the south side of the airport right under the approach path to runway 18.

This is going to be my hangout during the summer when I'm not working. $17 a round during M-T and $175 for 25 large buckets of balls. They've got my vote!

Finally, there is this mystery. I have no clue what is other than some sort of underground storage. The thing is, the doors are open on the south side and closed on the north side, and I can't tell if it's abandoned or just not being up kept. In google maps, it looks like a grassy place but it's obviously some sort of storage with concrete bunkers with a grass roof...

Oh, and the bunkers are built on top of a garbage dump... I think they date back to the 50's (we have an old map) but I may be reading the map wrong or it might be some sort of other storage that was torn down and made way for this.
