Popular Post maqroll Posted October 3, 2023 Popular Post Share Posted October 3, 2023 The Maine State Prison depicted in The Shawshank Redemption was actually a decommissioned Ohio prison slated to be demolished after the filming there. A group of Shawshank fans bought the property for one dollar, agreeing to pay for the upkeep of the facility and it's grounds, permitting, tax bill, etc. The property currently generates $16M in annual tourist revenue Not a bad return on a dollar investment. 9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And I'm sure there'll be people who don't realise it's pronounced Kiribass. And others who've heard of a Kiribass and didn't realise they were one and the same. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If the sun were to theoretically go out and plunge the world into darkness. Due to the difference in speed's the noise of the sun would continue being heard on earth (ignoring the vacuum) for about 8 year's afterwards.
