Outdoor Linoleum?

So when walking around the properties that border our site we came upon a large patch of linoleum on the ground. As you can see, all the edges were starting to curl up in a cool way from the exposure to the outdoors which I thought made for a fun picture. Basically, there was once a building that was here but when they demoed it, only the walls and roof were taken out. (building still shows up on Google earth) Who knows why they decided to leave the flooring in place but they did. Unfortunately, we also don't have much say over this giant property since it is owned by a developer out of Houston who wants to put a bunch of housing units on it....which would have already been here had the housing market not recently bottomed out putting this development on an indefinite hold.

The building in the back left of the image is HOK Sport's new building. If you don't know who they are, HOK is probably responsible for designing about half the professional sports stadiums in the country. In fact, if you add in the other firms around Kansas City, this city designs about 98% of all college and professional stadiums in the country. So keep that in mind if you ever feel the need to build a multi-million dollar stadium in your back yard, a firm from Kansas City will most likely be doing the design.
