What the – the last thing I saw before I posted was “You are so Reich.” Arrggg.
All seriousness aside, the building was very likely pre-WWII.
Many early military buildings were laid out like spiders. Something about bombs not disabling everything. :dubious:
Also, the Native Americans of the southwestern U.S. used the same pattern a couple hundred years ago.
Wow, a real answer!
Its sad really, my most sucessfull thread ever and its based on a typo and bad puns.
Is there such a thing as a good pun?
But please go on, I rather like bad puns. 
Popular in Egyptian art too. Symbol of eternity and all that.
There’s also quite a few old quilts out there with swasticas everywhere. Kind of knocks you back a step until you remember it was a very respectable quilt pattern until stupid ol’ Hitler ruined it for everyone.
When I put aside the Nazi connotation, I think the swastika is pretty cool-looking symbol. I think as a very young kid I used to doodle it. I also liked the Star of David and doodled that, so maybe they cancelled out.
If the building was pre-WWII, the street names are all of Pacific theatre naval battles. Not only is there a Bougainville, but Guadalcanal, Kwajalein,
This just confirms my long-held suspicion that San Diegans are all Nazis.
Never trust a San Diegan, that’s what I always say.
Titfoil…
flashbacks to quite a few posts… most notably already mentioned by NinjaChick.
My church was built in the 1920s. My church has swastikas on a few of the floor tiles. You have to be pretty bored during church to notice them- they are small, and there aren’t many- but I’ve been bored enough to notice. The swastikas are pink. I don’t think my church was built by proto-nazis, though.
Well, I don’t know about the “fodder” part but I believe I’ve found evidence for the 'titfoil" part.
