The Lost City.

During World War II, there were fears that Germany would attack Virginia. So the U.S. government seized 2400 acres of land from residents living in an area east of Richmond International Airport (RIC) now known as the Elko Tract.

The history of the Tract prior to World War II is unremarkable. During the war, however, the area was converted into a false city, its structure closely resembling that of Richmond. Richmond sat nearby to the west of the tract. It is widely accepted that the premise behind the work was to serve as a decoy for German or Japanese bombers on night raids. In theory, when reports would come from the eastern Virginia cities that enemy bombers were flying overhead, the city would cut power to its residents and businesses. At the same time, the lights would come up on Elko Tract - roads built in roughly the same pattern as the city, and a false landing strip arranged identically to the nearby airport, would convince the bombers that they had reached their target. The bombs would then harmlessly fall on an uninhabited stretch of land, and the bombers would return, thinking they had successfully attacked Richmond.

World War II ended without any attempt by the Axis Powers to attack Richmond. Control of the land then passed to the Commonwealth of Virginia. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Elko_Tract

The feds turned over the property to Henrico County in 1996. It’s now the White Oak Technology Park - home to a Facebook data center and other high tech corporations.

I definitely read it with his accent 😄❤️
