It was announced earlier this morning that Montgomery County, MD, in anticipation of what may amount to a dastardly two inches of snow, will build an underground city as a safe haven for all future winter storms. The city, dubbed "Nirvana on the Pike," will consist of a series of interconnected tunnels and buildings allowing the citizens to live and thrive underground for months on end until the storm ceases or spring arrives, whichever comes first.
"This is probably the best idea I've ever had," commented County Executive Isiah Leggett, "We're even going to put two malls down there so, even in these subterranean conditions, people can still choose not to go to Lakeforest."
The county is working tirelessly to prepare "NiPi" for habitation by mid-January 2011, at which time residents of Potomac and Bethesda will be allowed to enter the premises and begin hiring independent contractors to improve upon their lodgings. Residents of Rockville, Gaithersburg, and Germantown will then be given entry to take up the remaining space. Olney residents will be provided with separate lodgings but will not have direct access to the city. Registration for NiPi will take place next week via either its newly-created Facebook page where you must "like" the city in order to secure your spot underground, or an app currently in development by the team who brought you Angry Birds.
