It kinda reminds me of the hospital back where my Mom lives. Part of the parking area and hospital got overgrown with vines, but they expanded it and blocked the old half off and are still using the good half of the building and just started building out away from the vine infested areas. One part of the parking area is so visibly overgrown that you can see green leafs everywhere on the ceiling, walls, and ground. o.o
It was down in Lawton Oklahoma, but this was years ago, I don't remember exactly where it was at now and last time I was there they were erecting new buildings at least a couple thousand feet out away from the vines. It was about 12 years ago since I last saw it. That actually happens pretty commonly around here though, I've seen a couple houses that were completely consumed by vines too, entire structures inside and out. Hell, I even owned a vine once, but I was forced to put it down because it grew like 50 feet in like just a few months in my bedroom, and that was with little water and sun. You give them things plenty of water and sun and they grow uncontrollable. The only way to really control them is to try and stunt their growth anyway you can, but even that is hard. >.<;
Yeah, here it is, it's called the kudzu vine, the vine I owned was actually a safer breed, but the actual kudzu vine can get extremely violent if left unattended. It was partially infected with that.
